The drain valve consist of a motor, valve
body, shaft, return spring, and pivoting ball
inside the body used for closing. The drain
valve is controlled by the control board.
When power is applied to the drain valve it
will close, stopping water from going into the
drain. The valve automatically opens when
power is removed. This allows the normally
open drain valve to drain in the event of a
power failure.
