Hankison 7428268 Drain Valve
The Hankison 7428268, also identified as the 4460.160.15 Auto Drain Valve, is a high-performance electric demand drain valve engineered specifically for moisture management in compressed air systems. Operating on a 24V power supply, this zero air loss drain utilizes a capacitive level sensor to monitor condensate accumulation within the 600 Series housing. Unlike standard timed solenoid valves, the Hankison 7428268 only activates when liquid is present, preventing the discharge of valuable compressed air and maximizing energy efficiency for industrial air compressors and refrigerated air dryers.
This 24VAC auto drain is a direct replacement for many SPX Flow and Kaeser assemblies, featuring a robust, corrosion-resistant construction that weighs approximately 2.59 lbs. Its automatic drainage mechanism effectively purges condensate, oil, and contaminants to prevent downstream damage, such as rust in pneumatic lines or moisture-sensitive tool failure. By maintaining optimal condensate management, the 4460.160.15 ensures consistent air quality and extends the service life of your entire HVACR and compressed air infrastructure.
Key Benefits for Contractors:
- Zero Air Loss Operation: Eliminates the costly waste of compressed air by using electric demand sensing rather than fixed timers.
- 24V Electric Integration: Designed for seamless wiring into 24V AC control circuits in modern HVACR and dryer systems.
- Capacitive Sensing Technology: Provides high-precision moisture detection to ensure the valve only opens when the reservoir is full.
- Universal Component Reliability: Compatible with Hankison, SPX Flow, and various Kaeser compressed air dryers.
- Internal Alarm Support: Built-in functionality allows for system-level monitoring of drainage cycles to prevent flood conditions.
Common Questions:
How does the Hankison 7428268 improve energy efficiency?
By utilizing an electric demand sensor, the valve only discharges when the condensate level reaches a specific point. This prevents "blowdown," where compressed air escapes through a timed valve, reducing the load on the compressor motor.
Is the 4460.160.15 compatible with non-Hankison systems?
Yes, while it is a genuine replacement part for Hankison dryers, its 1/2" NPT or equivalent porting and 24V power requirements allow it to be integrated into many industrial compressor setups requiring automatic condensate removal.
What are the signs that my current drain valve needs replacement?
Technicians should look for increased moisture at the point of use, unusual hissing (indicating the valve is stuck open), or visible rust in the lines, which suggests the automatic drain is failing to purge properly.
