Drain Valve:
The drain valve
is located at
the base of the
air tank and is
used to drain
condensation at the end of each use.
Check Valve: When the air
compressor is operating, the check
valve is "open", allowing compressed
air to enter the air tank. When the
air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes",
allowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
