What Customers Are Saying

The Kobalt air compressor drain valve is a well-made and durable replacement that offers several key benefits. It is easier to open and close with a simple 1/4 turn, making draining the compressor tank more convenient. The pre-applied thread sealant helps ensure a tight seal, and the short profile allows for easy placement of a catch container. Customers report significant improvement over the original valve, which was prone to seizing up or leaking. While a tight fit in some models and minor damage to the Allen head on the drain side have been noted, the majority of reviewers praise the Kobalt drain valve as a high-quality, easy-to-use solution.

Slight modification required

Would Recommend

The 90-degree ball valve is a definite improvement over the O-ring knurled hand screw that Ingersoll-Rand put on their dual tank compressor. This valve is much easier to operate by hand and therefore, the tank is more likely to be drained of condensate daily! I had to do some slight sanding of the aluminum valve handle due to the location of the threaded fitting between the two tanks; the handle impacted the lower tank and could not be screwed into the upper threaded tank fitting as sent.
