MODEL 52835: PET-COCK DRAIN VALVE – 1/4" MALE NPT

CRUCIAL MOISTURE MANAGEMENT & TANK MAINTENANCE

Protect the structural longevity of your onboard pneumatic network with the premium Kleinn Model 52835 Pet-Cock Drain Valve. While high-output air compressors efficiently pressurize your storage reservoirs, the physics of compression naturally create moisture condensation inside the tank. If left unattended, this trapped water causes internal oxidation, reduces overall air volume capacity, and risks destroying downstream electronic solenoids. This heavy-duty mechanical valve provides a simple, direct maintenance solution to regularly purge accumulated water and maintain clean air distribution.

BUTTERFLY-STYLE ERGONOMIC SEALING ARCHITECTURE

The Model 52835 is engineered for high reliability and effortless operation under the chassis. Outfitted with an ergonomic butterfly-style turn handle, it allows you to easily crack the valve open manually without requiring specialized service tools. Designed with a rugged 1/4" Male NPT thread configuration, it screws directly into the low-point drainage port of any standard air tank. To deliver an absolute leak-free threshold when fully closed, the assembly features an integrated premium rubber seal compound that forms an airtight barrier against high system pressures.

Why Choose the 52835 Pet-Cock Drain Valve?

  • Ergonomic Butterfly Handle: Winged thumb-turn layout provides comfortable manual leverage to quickly open and close the purge drain under the vehicle.
  • Universal Tank Compatibility: Outfitted with standard 1/4" Male NPT threads to thread cleanly into low-point baseline drain bungs across all Kleinn air storage tanks.
  • Integrated Rubber Seal: Packs a heavy-duty internal rubber sealing washer that compresses tightly under pressure to prevent slow, phantom pneumatic leaks.
  • Vital System Insurance: Facilitates fast, routine moisture drainage, actively preventing reservoir rust and safeguarding downstream air horn valves.

THE VERDICT:The definitive maintenance component for onboard air systems. The Model 52835 combines a high-tightness rubber seal with a user-friendly butterfly mechanical layout to ensure your air storage tank remains free from harmful water accumulation.

⚠️ Essential Tank Maintenance Requirements

The Model 52835 Pet-Cock Drain Valve must always be installed in the port positioned at the lowest absolute physical point of your vehicle's air reservoir tank setup. Because gravity naturally pulls condensed moisture down to the baseline floor layer, proper alignment guarantees complete drainage.

Recommended Purge Maintenance Intervals:

  • Standard Road Use: Manually crack open and drain the tank once every month to clear accumulated moisture fields.
  • Humid or High-Duty Cycles: Drain the tank every 1-2 weeks if operating in wet off-road environments or running high compressor duty loops.
  • Winter Weather Preparation: Drain completely before freezing temperatures set in to prevent trapped water from turning to ice and blocking system plumbing.

What's Included in the Box

  • Drain Valve: One (1) Model 52835 – 1/4" Male NPT Butterfly-Style Pet-Cock Drain Valve.
  • Internal Seal: One (1) premium heavy-duty rubber compression sealing washer (Pre-installed).

🔴 PRO TIP: Lock down a perfect structural fit on your reservoir tank. When installing your 1/4" NPT pet-cock thread profile, avoid over-tightening into the tank bung to prevent tearing or rolling the internal seal layers. Always apply a few drops of liquid anaerobic thread sealant like our genuine Kleinn JUICE across the metal-to-metal male lead threads to block out slow, invisible pneumatic pressure drops.
