Ingersoll Rand 38439840 PNLD II-12 Pneumatic No Loss Condensate Drain

Ingersoll Rand 38439840 PNLD II-12 Pneumatic No Loss Condensate Drain

The Ingersoll Rand 38439840 PNLD II-12 is a heavy-duty, fully-pneumatic no-loss condensate drain engineered for compressed-air systems. Unlike traditional timed or electronic drains, this model requires no electricity, no external control air and operates automatically on system demand to safely and efficiently remove condensate from your system without venting valuable compressed air. It is particularly well-suited for smaller compressors, receivers or point-of-use filtration systems where air-loss prevention and reliability are key.

In a service-oriented role (like yours, overseeing compressor systems), the PNLD II-12 aligns nicely alongside brands like Chicago Pneumatic and Ingersoll Rand — it enables you to maximize system uptime, reduce waste, and ensure that condensate removal isn’t a weak link in your air-system workflow.

Features & Benefits

• Fully-pneumatic operation: no electrical power required, no human intervention needed.
• Zero air loss during normal operation – i.e., condensate is drained, but valuable compressed air is retained
• Maximum operating pressure up to 200 psig (14 bar) for the 12-oz model
• Handles condensate with high levels of rust, oil carry-over and scale, thanks to rugged internals: stainless-steel float, full-port ball valve, Viton® seals
• Compact design, minimal fittings to change, easy to install and maintain

Application Notes & Fit Guidance

• Because it is fully pneumatic and requires no external controls, installation is straightforward — integrating into your existing compressor-room plumbing with minimal wiring or sensor requirements.
• The availability of the 12-oz version makes it a cost-effective solution for smaller shops or points in your system
• Given your role managing industrial compressor systems, it’s advisable to integrate periodic inspection of the drain’s cycling (visual float operation) into your maintenance workflow, especially to verify that it is removing condensate as expected and not bypassing due to clogging.
• Because of the rugged internal materials (stainless float, Viton seals, full-port ball valve), this unit is well-suited for industrial environments with oil carry-over and rust/scale, which is a frequent concern in machine-shop and food-&-beverage processing installations.
