Cyclone DuraDrain
™
Trailer Water Separator
DESCRIPTION
The Cyclone DuraDrain
™
trailer water separator can be
installed in the trailer control or in the supply line near the
glad-hand. It removes water and contaminants that can
cause brakes to drag and improves the life of the trailer
system components.

OPERATION (See Figure 1)
Compressed air enters the supply port of the Cyclone
DuraDrain
DuraDrain

trailer water separator. The air pressure
pushes down on the check valve contained in the purge
nut and closes the purge nut drain port. When air enters
the supply port of the Cyclone DuraDrain
nut and closes the purge nut drain port. When air enters
the supply port of the Cyclone DuraDrain
™
trailer water
separator a cyclonic action is created.
The cyclonic motion separates the oil, water and
particulates. The oil, water and particulates gravitate to the
bottom of the Cyclone DuraDrain

valve moves up and off its seat. The contaminants then
drain through the purge nut drain port.
