DV-2 Type Automatic Drain Valve - Air Reservoir Moisture Purge - Bendix 281923 170.281923

A reservoir that never gets drained sends water everywhere downstream. This DV-2 Type Automatic Drain Valve distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires handles the reservoir purge without anyone having to remember it, which matters because the daily manual pull is the maintenance item that gets skipped first. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.

Purges On Its Own: The DV-2 Automatic Drain Valve Advantage

This is an automatic drain valve built to the DV-2 pattern, so it goes back into the same air brake reservoir the DV-2 style valve it replaces came out of. Moisture that sits in a tank does not stay in the tank. It travels into the air dryer, the modulator and relay valves and the lines themselves, where it corrodes seats and freezes solid in winter. Automatic purging takes the human variable out of that chain entirely. It is the difference between a purge schedule that exists on paper and one that actually happens on every truck in the yard, including the ones that only ever get a quick walk-around before they roll.

Matching the correct pattern matters more here than it looks. A reservoir drain is a component the compressor exercises constantly, so a valve that is close enough rather than correct becomes a slow leak that runs the compressor into the ground. Manufactured by Automann to Fleet Standard specifications, it is a direct replacement for highly searched industry numbers including Bendix 281923 and 281924, Meritor R955281923N, and Midland KN24000.
