Here is a link to it on ebay. Runs around $160.00 including shipping. Inlet and outlet are 1/2" NPT female and the control fitting is 1/4" NPT female. The control inlet needs air pressure after the compressor shuts off to purge the dryer. This can be done tapping off the tank. I will do this with a simple valve since I don't have a unloader valve on my compressor. The amount of air used is little compared to air brakes so it only needs to be done once in a while. The heater circuit keeps the purge valve warm and can be hooked into the compressor power it draws 75 watts. Only needed to purge in cold weather. Air from the compressor goes to the Dryer first and then it goes to the tank, accessories and air gauge with dry air. The unit is about 8" in dia and about 13" tall and mounts to the frame under the truck on a bracket. I will mount mine on the cross member, drivers side, behind my hydraulic pump box and it won't stick down much and above all the rest of the stuff. I have a link to trouble shooting and installing one if you need it.
