SPEEDAIRE 53CE44 Timed Electric Drain Valve
This SPEEDAIRE 53CE44 is a timed electric auto drain valve built for hydraulic system maintenance. It features a 1/2 inch NPT inlet and a 3/8 inch NPT outlet with a 3/8 inch drain size. The unit operates on 115 V AC power at 60 Hz drawing 0.3 A and handles a maximum pressure of 250 psi. It is suited for technicians managing condensate removal in compressed air systems.
Adjustable Cycle and Included Y Strainer
The adjustable drain cycle runs from 1 minute to 60 minutes with a purge time of 1 second to 30 seconds for flexible scheduling. A NEMA 5 rated ABS plastic and brass body houses the mechanism within a 4 inch height, 5 39/64 inch width, and 4 1/2 inch depth. The package includes a 6 ft power cord and a Y strainer to protect the valve from debris. These components simplify installation and help maintain consistent drainage performance.
For Compressed Air Systems Up to 250 psi
This valve suits operators who need automated condensate discharge on 115 V circuits with a 4.0 gpm drain rate. It is not for systems exceeding the 250 psi pressure limit or operating outside the 35 to 165 degrees F temperature range. Installations requiring voltages other than 115 V AC or different pipe thread sizes should look at alternative valve configurations.

Questions about this item
How often will the Y strainer need cleaning with this 4.0 gpm drain rate?
The included Y strainer catches debris before the valve; cleaning frequency depends on your compressed-air quality, but the 4.0 gpm flow capacity means it handles normal condensate volumes without rapid clogging.
At 250 psi max pressure, will the valve leak or fail first under continuous cycling?
The 250 psi rating is the design limit; sustained operation at or near that pressure accelerates seal wear, so the internal diaphragm and solenoid seals are the components most likely to need replacement first.
Does the ABS plastic body stay cool enough during all-day operation at 115 V and 0.3 A?
At 0.3 A the solenoid draws minimal power, so the ABS plastic body remains near ambient temperature even with continuous 60-minute cycle timing; no active cooling is required.
