Looking for recommendations on a good compressor drain. Something that
works, does not need attention, tolerates occasional cold winter day
with garage door open, and does not make too much noise. McMaster's
4919K13 seems to fit the bill?

I don't know about the McMaster part but I 've installed several auto
drains from Harbor freight with good results, 2 of them in use for over 2
yrs w/ no problems. The cost was less then $15 as I remember. Simple to
install, they actuate off the unloader, you may want to use your own tubing
and fittings for the install.

YMMV



Second that on the fittings. The tubing and fittings supplied with the kit
blew
out and leaked on first use. Otherwise it seems to work ok but does leak a
little air all of the time.


Does not sound very encouraging. I want something that does not leak,
as I leak-proofed my tank enough so that if the outlet is closed, it
would run only once a week.

Anyway, these things need to be connected to the unloader valve,
right? My unloader tubing is copper.
