Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sullair Float Drain Replacement - 02250246-173?

The Sullair Float Drain Replacement - 02250246-173 is a mechanical automatic condensate drain used on compatible Sullair compressed air filters.

Compatibility should always be confirmed by checking your manual and verifying the model and serial number before ordering. Not sure? Reach out with your compressor model and serial number and we’ll help confirm compatibility. 

What does the 02250246-173 float drain do?

The 02250246-173 automatically removes collected condensate from the bottom of a compressed air filter housing.

As moisture accumulates inside the bowl, the condensate raises an internal float. Once the level becomes high enough, the float opens the drain outlet and allows condensate to discharge. When the liquid level drops, the float closes the outlet again.

What type of condensate does the float drain remove?

The drain can remove liquid that collects in the filter bowl, which may include:

  • Condensed water
  • Compressor lubricant carried downstream
  • Moisture mixed with oil
  • Fine contamination collected by the filter

The exact condensate composition depends on the compressor system and filtration stage.

What are signs that the 02250246-173 float drain may need to be replaced?

Possible signs include:

  • Condensate collecting downstream of the filter
  • Drain failing to discharge accumulated liquid
  • Continuous compressed air leakage
  • Drain remaining open when it should close
  • Drain sticking intermittently
  • Excessive contamination around the drain
  • Liquid level remaining unusually high inside the filter housing

Is this an OEM part?

This is an OEM-equivalent replacement float drain designed to meet the same performance standards as the original Sullair float drain.   

Do you carry other parts for Sullair?

Absolutely. We stock a range of air filters, oil filters, valves, synthetic oils, and many other maintenance parts to help you keep your Sullair compressor running reliably. If you don’t see what you need, just ask.

How do I know which oil to use in my Sullair compressor?

To make sure you’re using the right lubricant for your machine, check out our full guide here: Choosing the Right Oil for your Sullair Compressor. It covers the recommended options for rotary screw compressors and helps you match your compressor with the proper oil.
