COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
Use Cases and System Integration
The Autotrol 462088 drain fitting elbow is engineered for use with Autotrol control valves in water softening and filtration systems where space constraints or plumbing layout require a 90-degree turn in the drain line. The 1/2" FPT threads into the valve's drain port while the 1/2" hose barb accepts standard flexible drain tubing. This fitting is essential for proper backwash and regeneration drain routing, particularly in installations where straight drain connections are not feasible. Compatible with all Autotrol control valve models that specify 1/2" drain port connections.
💧 Pro Tip: Apply Teflon tape or pipe thread sealant to the FPT threads before installation to ensure a leak-free connection. Secure the drain tubing to the hose barb with a stainless steel hose clamp rated for continuous water exposure.
