I think these are the sort of thing you are looking for, normally called 'Automatic Cylinder Drain Cocks' these are for 3 1/2" gauge but should be able to be scaled up for 5" gauge.

I have details of the automatic drain cocks. I was looking for the push button type that Don Young features on his drawing. Mike
