WARNING

To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal injury
and property damage:

• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.

• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to this
product before installation, servicing, or conversion.

• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure, temperature, and
other conditions listed in these instructions.

• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.

• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.

• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
perfo rmed by k nowledgeabl e pers onnel wh o unde rstand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.

• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical supplies
(when necessary) should be connected and the product tested for
proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present, or the product
does not operate properly, do not put into use.

• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered by
paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your local representative
for replacement labels.

CAUTION

Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with Filters
and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial environments, but
should not be located in areas where they could be subjected to direct sunlight,
an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the rated range. As with most
plastics, some chemicals can cause damage. Polycarbonate bowls should not
be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and certain alcohols.
They should not be used in air systems where compressors are lubricated with
fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate ester and diester types.

Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of most
such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are present
or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific recommendations
where these conditions exist.

TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER ONLY!
DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride,

gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.

WARNING

To avoid polycarbonate bowl rupture that can cause personal injury or
property damage, do not exceed bowl pressure or temperature ratings.
Polycarbonate bowls have a 150 PSIG pressure rating and a maximum
temperature rating of 125°F.

Micro-Mist Lubricators (Figure 1)

Description

These micro-mist lubricators are designed to deliver an atomized oil mist to air
operated tools, motors, and other pneumatic equipment. Units are equipped with
full-view sight glass for visual indication of oil drop rate, needle valve feed adjustment
to regulate oil drop rate, and a venturi bypass disc to compensate for changes in air
flow demands.

Installation of Lubricator

1. Lubricator should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service whenever
possible - repair service kits are available. Keep pipe and tubing lengths to a
minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compounds should
be used sparingly and applied only to the male pipe – never into the female port.
Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break off and
lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.

2. Install lubricator so that air flow is in the direction of arrow on body.

3. Installation should be upstream from, and as close as possible, to the device it is to
lubricate (valve, cylinder, tool, etc.). Whenever possible, avoid locations that require
air-borne oil to move in an upward direction to reach the device to be lubricated.

4. The installation of an individual lubricator for each air consuming device provides
best assurances of proper lubrication.

5. In new installations, it is good practice to “wet down” the inside diameter of piping
and/hose with oil before making final connections. Although your lubricator delivers
oil to the line, pre-coating the inside diameter with oil helps insure that proper
amounts of oil are delivered to the point of application.

Operation & Service of Lubricator

Warning: Before filling, inlet pressure must be eliminated and then de-

pressurize system pressure.

1. FILLING - After de-pressurizing system, remove fill plug or bowl to refill lubricator.
Fill bowl to fill line indicated on the bowl with oil of 150 to 200 SSU at 100°F viscosity

- same as SAE No. 10 (petroleum based hydraulic oils or spindle oils are good
examples). DO NOT USE OILS WITH TACKY ADDITIVES, COMPOUND OILS
CONTAINING SOLVENTS, GRAPHITE, SOAPS OR DETERGENTS. (Automotive
oils generally contain detergents and are not recommended.

2. Replace the fill plug or bowl and seat firmly. Excessive torque is not necessary. The
lubricator is now ready for setting.

3. OIL DELIVERY ADJUSTMENT - To adjust oil delivery, turn the adjusting needle on
top of the lubricator.

Leaner - Clockwise Richer - Counterclockwise
By counting the number of drops per minute in the sight dome, you can adjust lubricator
to your required setting. Approximately 3% of the droplets visible in the sight dome
go downstream; adjust drip rate accordingly. Consult oil delivery conversion chart
(see below).
Generally, one drop per minute downstream for every 10-15 SCFM flow is satisfactory.
25 drops per minute equals one ounce per hour - volume of oil passing through the
sight dome.

NOTE: This is a constant density type lubricator which delivers a constant ratio of oil to

air flow. Therefore, if air flow increases or decreases, oil delivery will be effected
proportionately. ONLY IF DIFFERENT RATIO IS DESIRED NEED YOUR NEEDLE
VALVE SETTING BE CHANGED AFTER YOUR INITIAL SETTING.

Operation of the Filter

1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the filter.

2. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated moisture and
oil reaches the bottom of the element holder. Automatic drain models (pulse drain)
will collect and dump liquids automatically. They are actuated when a pressure drop
occurs within the filter.

3. The filter element should be removed and replaced when the pressure differential
across the filter exceeds 70 kPa (10 psig, 0.7 bar).

Service

Caution: SHUT OFF AIR SUPPLY and exhaust the primary and secondary

pressure before dis-assembling unit. (Units may be serviced without
removing them from the air line.)

Servicing Filter Element

1. Unscrew threaded bowl and element holder. Then remove filter element, deflector,
and gaskets.

2. Clean all internal parts, bowl, and body before re-assembling unit. See Polycarbonate
bowl cleaning section.

3. Install deflector, filter element, and gaskets.

4. Attach element holder. Torque from 0.9 to 1.4 N•m (8 to 12 in-lbs).

5. To assist with retaining bowl’s o-ring while installing bowl, lubricate the o-ring (with
a mineral based oil or grease). Then place on the bowl.

6. Screw bowl into the body until it is stopped by body; then back off bowl 1/8 turn.

7. Apply pressure to the system and check for leaks. If leaks occur, shut off the air
supply, de-pressurize the system and make necessary adjustments to eliminate
leakage.

the air stream assuring entrainments separation at all flow rates. Filter element with
extra large surface assures fine filtration with low pressure drop. Turn manual drain
counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close.

and close to devices it is to service (valve, cylinder, tool, etc.). Position unit vertically
with the bowl drain mechanism at the bottom. Free moisture will thus drain into the
sump (“quiet zone”) at the bottom of the bowl.
