Products and Services
Conrader specializes in expertly engineered valves and controls that meet the operational and safety demands of compressed air systems.
Conrader Throttle Control Valve
Throttle controls like this TCLP Series valve are designed for remote RPM regulation in gas engine compressors. Most importantly, they use a cable-connected actuator to reduce engine speed when pressure builds—helping conserve fuel, reduce wear, and manage load efficiently.
Conrader Safety Relief Valves
These valves are ASME Section VIII approved and CRN-registered for Canadian use. This model includes a brass body with top ring-pull for manual testing or emergency release. In other words, it protects tanks and lines from overpressure by releasing air when PSI thresholds are exceeded.
Conrader Pilot Valve
Conrader pilot valves regulate system pressure automatically by controlling unloader valves or engine throttles. This brass unit features an adjustable stem and side port for pressure signaling. Therefore, it ensures accurate cut-in/cut-out pressure control for reciprocating compressors, especially in engine-driven systems.
