Aux Comp Purge Valve - help

Our purge valve on the aux. comp. under the clear water bowl has a twist valve attached that I must turn to allow water to flow out of this bowl.  There is a purge valve attached but the wires connected to it are cut so it doesn't work.  Would like to repair this and am looking for a part number and wiring diagram so I can get this working again.  Have checked beamalarm and some posts here but am not finding what I am looking for.  ???

As usual your help/assistance is appreciated.

Scott, there is a solenoid valve on bottom of the bowl,which is normally open. Closes when compressor comes on.
Part # RAP6354 solenoid,n/o 1/8" 150 PSI SNGL.
I purchased mine at MOT.
I could not find it on line, maybe you can

Thanks Tom for the PN.  I also need to find how/where to wire so it functions.  The wires on my unit are cut and can not see where they were attached.

Scott, there are two wires one of which is grounded and the other goes to the pressure switch on the compressor.
There is a very good schematic on Barry's website.
