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

the only good thing I can say about that harbor freight autodrain is that I
was able to get a full refund when I returned it. I installed it, it did
not seal, the air pressure (160 PSI) blew the O-rings right through the
seals, the plastic tubing was a real problem to connect to the compressor, I
had to make a fitting for it - all in all, worthless, but cheap - might be
OK on a homeowner type compressor that shuts off at a much lower pressure -
my problems were due to the design of the device, not to a particular
defective device. suggest you avoid it
