English term or phrase: Air tank moisture drain
This actually doesn't have much context in the sense that it isn't being used in a sentence but a field in a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is a checklist for services carried out on various machinery on a building site. Down one side there is a column that lists all of the things to be checked (break system, hydraulic system, battery, etc...) and this is one entry in that column. Unfortunately I am struggling to find the equivalent in French.

I would guess that 'air tank is 'Réservoir à Air' but I can't seem to put it together with 'moisture drain' to make it sound right!

Any help much appreciated!!!
