INTRODUCTIONTO PurgeX®
The patented PurgeX® pump is one of the
most unique and successful products in
industry today. Since 1988, thousands of
satisfied customers have made PurgeX®
their choice for reliable and precise
lubrication. It is called PurgeX® because
entrapped air and other impurities are
automatically “purged” from the system.
In lab tests, over 360,000,000 cycles
have been achieved without appreciable
wear. By dispensing very small amounts
of liquid or grease, environmental
contamination is greatly minimized.
Precision output and excellent
repeatability provide higher productivity
rates. In addition, precise metering can
be achieved over a wide range of
adjustability. Some of the more popular
applications for PurgeX® include:
• Lubricating liquids
• Food additives
• Greases
• Dyes
• Chemicals
• Solvents
• Inks
LUBRICATION TRENDSWhy Less Lubrication is BetterTraditionally, lubrication users have been under a mis-conception that if a small amount ofliquid is good, then a larger amount of liquid is better. This tendency to over-lubricate hasled to other problems in industry such as material contamination, clean up expenses andenvironmental contamination. In some cases, users have removed lubrication systemsentirely in order to prevent these problems. With the PurgeX® system, extremely small amounts of lubricant can be applied either directly or by spray.
Advantages of Automatic Lubrication Systems — Many manufacturing companies continue to use manual lubrication methods as well as gravity feed lubrication systems.Both of these types of lubrication have inherent problems that PurgeX® can solve.
In manual systems, the costs to lubricate can be expensive over the long term. When the liquid or grease is applied at more lengthy intervals, the lubrication benefits are not maximized(see chart below). In addition, the amount of lubricant that is dispensed varies, leading to over-lubrication or under-lubrication.
In gravity feed systems, the liquid is dispensedthrough a manually adjusted needle valve. As theliquid level in the reservoir changes, the drip ratechanges due to the head pressure of the liquid.This leads to over or under-lubrication.

THE PurgeX® THEORYHow It WorksPurgeX® is a pump that dispenses a precise amount of lubricant witheach cycle. It is available air operated or electric motor operated, andcan deliver liquid or grease directly through a 1/8” NPT port orthrough a spray nozzle.
Delivering the Smallest Amounts ofLubricationThe ability to deliver very small amounts of lubricant with each cycle is what distinguishes PurgeX® from all other lubrication products. In fact the namePurgeX®, comes from its designed ability to purge air from the lubricationsystem. This eliminates the need to pre-fill lubrication lines during initialinstallation. If the liquid reservoir runs low, or air is introduced in some othermanner into the system, the self-priming PurgeX® will fill lines with lubricantautomatically. The net result is the ability to reliably deliver the smallestamount of lubricant with each cycle.
Each PurgeX® pump has an adjustable precise lubricant delivery per cycle(see chart 1 below). On air operated models, the liquid output is adjustablefrom 0 to .012 cubic inches (.20 cc’s). On electric motor operated modelsthe output is adjustable from 0 to .009 cubic inches (.15 cc’s). By setting thecycle rate of the PurgeX® pump, a wide range of lubricant delivery over timeis achieved. If needed, lubricant delivery can be completely shut off at anytime by adjusting the piston to the fully closed position.
LIQUID OUTLET
As piston moves up the o-ring shuttles.
Liquid flows into pump chamber through piston.
Evacuation valve is closed by the spring.Sealing the output lineeliminating “after drip”.
As piston moves down, the o-ring shuttles.
Pressure increases in pumpchamber forcing evacuationvalve to open, allowing ameasured volume of liquid toflow out of pump chamber.
Piston continues down andout of pump chamber ejecting liquid from thepump chamber, and physically contacting theevacuation valve. This overtravel causes all remainingair bubbles and small impurities to flush out of thepump chamber. These airbubbles and small impuritiesare carried downstream during each cycle. Also,eliminates “After-Drip”.

Entirely engineered and precisionmanufactured in the USA, these greasepump systems employ the patentedPurgeX® technology and will dispense anaccurate volume each cycle. The meteringsystems can be used with a wide range ofgreases that demand critical flow control.Grease is supplied from a rugged fiberglass reservoir to the pump. An air signal pulses the single piece piston causing a pre-determined amount of greaseto be ejected. Location of the meter is notcritical as the meter can be mounted in anyorientation. For safety purposes, a reliefvalve is incorporated into the injectorblock. Each PurgeX® operates as an individual pump and is available in singlefeed or multiple feed manifolds.
• For applications with multiple feed points,the Threadapter® is a fastener for securingthe two pumps together, which allows fluidcommunication in the manifold. Thisexclusive and unique feature allows theoption of changing the units in the field bymerely adding additional pumps.

CONSTANT LEVEL LUBRICATOR WITH LOW LEVEL
SAFETY SWITCHES will maintain a fixed liquid level within
the bearing housing, vital in protecting bearings from failure
and preventing possible machine breakdown due to
insufficient lubrication. A safeguard against loss of lubricant
is provided by a low level safety switch. The low level switch
can be used to actuate warning devices or shut off a
machine, thus protecting costly machinery.
Operation is based on the liquid seal principle. Whenever
the liquid level recedes below the set level because of liquid
consumption, the liquid seal on the spout, inside the
lubricator, is temporarily broken. This allows air from the air
intake to enter the reservoir, releasing the liquid until a seal
and proper level are again established.
To refill unit, remove reservoir cap. An automatic shutoff
will hold the liquid supply in the reservoir while refilling. After
filling, screw cap on tightly and lubricator will resume normal
functioning.

*based on liquid drops of 3/16 dia.
Most drop feed lubricators usually deliver drops of
approximately 3/16 dia. Smaller or larger drops will, of
course, necessitate a decrease or increase of the
reservoir capacity given in Table 1. To obtain the prop-
er reservoir capacity for 1/8 dia. or 1/4 dia. drops,
simply multiply the ounce capacity shown in Table 1
with the respective multiplier given in Table 2.

Constant Level Lubricators
CONSTANT LEVEL LUBRICATORS are built to give long, trouble free service. The finest materials and workmanship areincorporated throughout. They will maintain a fixed liquid levelin a bearing housing or gear box.
When the liquid in the bearing recedes because of liquidconsumption, the liquid seal on the inside of the lubricator istemporarily broken. This allows air from the air intake to enterthe lubricator reservoir, releasing the liquid until a seal andproper level are again established.
The Style CS Constant Level Lubricator is identical indesign to Style C with two exceptions. A large sight for viewing the liquid level and condition of the liquid is provided,plus there are larger liquid outlets for rugged, heavy duty installations.
For reference, a liquid level line is scribed on the base.Units are easily refilled through a top filler cap.The reservoirneed not be removed for refilling. A shutoff valve holds the
liquid in the reservoir when the filler cap is removed. After thecap is screwed down again, the lubricator resumes normalfunctioning.
An air vent is supplied which can be piped back to the bearing or gear box thereby equalizing any existing pressureor vacuum. The reservoir is crystal clear glass or shatterproofacrylic permitting the liquid supply to be visible at all times.

MULTIPLE FEED ELECTRO LUBRICATORS have beenrevolutionized by utilizing a new manifold, multiple sight feedvalve system. This exclusive and unique feature allows, forthe first time, the option of changing the units in the field bymerely stacking them together.
Liquid is released, by gravity, from a reservoir, through anormally closed solenoid valve to the new modular stackedmultiple sight feed valves. Each valve is a complete unit thatinterlocks and seals with the preceding valve.
Up to 24 sight feed valves can be separately adjusted andthe setting retained by means of a friction lock. Drop feedingof liquid to widely separated points can be controlled andobserved from one central location.
The highest standard of quality is built into these Oil-Ritewater resistant solenoid valves. The compact solenoid isusually wired across the line of the drive motor. The solenoidcan be operated by a separate switch or timer for intermittent operation.

MULTIPLE FEED MANUAL LUBRICATORS have been revolutionized by utilizing a new manifold, multiple sight feedvalve system. This exclusive and unique feature allows, forthe first time, the option of changing the units in the field bymerely stacking them together.
Liquid is released, by gravity, from a reservoir, through atoggle shutoff valve which is located below the reservoir, tothe new modular stacked multiple sight feed valves. Eachvalve is a complete unit that interlocks and seals with thepreceding valve.
Up to 24 sight feed valves can be separately adjusted andthe setting retained by means of a friction lock. Drop feedingof liquid to widely separated points can be controlled andobserved from one central location.

Air Operated Dispensers
STEEL AIR OPERATED DISPENSERS dispense liquid byair pressure from a reservoir to elevated, distant, and inaccessible points.
Designed to serve as a central reservoir of an oiling system, additional sight feed valves are needed for the regulation of oil flow.
Air pressure is applied through an adjustable pressureregulator on the unit. This will reduce the pressure within thereservoir to a valve suitable for dispensing: higher pressurefor heavy oils and long pipe runs, lower pressure for light oilsand shorter pipe runs.
To fill, simply turn off the air supply, bleed the reservoirand replenish liquid through the large filler cap on top of theunit.
These units feature a liquid filter readily accessible fromthe outside of the tank. The reservoir is made of weldedheavy gage steel and will withstand higher temperatures thanthe acrylic reservoir.

Air pressure is applied through an adjustable pressureregulator on the unit. This will reduce the pressure within thereservoir to a valve suitable for dispensing. Use higher pressure for heavy liquids and long pipe runs, and lowerpressure for light liquids and shorter pipe runs.
To fill the dispenser, simply turn off the air supply, bleedthe reservoir and replenish liquid through the large filler capon top of the unit.
These units feature a liquid filter within the reservoir. Thereservoir is made of crystal clear acrylic and provides a largefiller cap.

Constant Level Lubricator Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION
1. Liquid level is usually marked on the
base of lubricator. Mount liquid by
using side or bottom outlet at the exact
and most desirable level.
2. Correct liquid level is lowest level at
which bearing operates perfectly.
3. Lubricator should be level in all
directions to function at its best.
4. Keep connections short, rigid, and
close to bearing to avoid vibration.
5. Fill bearing well by filling lubricator.
Repeated filling may be necessary.
6. The anti-friction bearings should be
fitted with breather tubes piped to the
outside or to air intake of lubricator.
7. On lubricators with top filler cap, besure cap is always screwed downtight. Removing filler cap shuts offoil supply. Loose filler cap causesleakage of liquid from reservoirthrough vent hole, rendering lubricator ineffective.
PRINCIPLE
Constant level lubricators automatically
maintain the liquid in a bearing reservoir
at a constant level. Operation is based on
the liquid seal principle. (Figure 1) When
the liquid in the bearing recedes because
of liquid consumption, the liquid seal on
the inside of the lubricator is temporarily
broken. This allows air from the air intake
to enter the lubricator reservoir, releasing
oil until a seal and proper level are again
established.
APPLICATIONS
Constant level lubricators are used on
sleeve bearing, anti-friction bearings,
gear boxes, pump housing, etc. Other
uses include moistening pads and any
other application demanding the
maintenance of a constant liquid level.
LIQUID LEVEL
Oil-Rite has available constant level
lubricators with fixed or with adjustable oil
level. Original equipment manufacturers
usually prefer lubricator with fixed liquid
level to make an installation tamperproof.
LIQUID RESERVOIR
Oil-Rite offers constant level lubricators
with acrylic, glass, or high temperature
plastic reservoirs to suit specific
applications. The reservoirs are
transparent to permit a visual check of the
oil supply at all times. Since the liquid in
the reservoir assumes the same color as
that in the bearing housing, a visual check
of the condition of the liquid is also
afforded.
AIR INLET
The air inlet on Oil-Rite’s constant level
lubricators is provided with a pipe
thread to accommodate an air filter for
the prevention of dust and dirt getting into
the liquid.
For dusty and dirty surroundings, such
as those found in cement mills, textile
plants, paper mills, coal handling
facilities, etc. it is recommended that the
air inlet of the lubricator be piped into the
top of the bearing housing. Such a closed
circuit offers full protection.
Pressure differential between theair intake of the lubricator and the bearing housing, such as is experienced on ventilating fans and blowers, anti-friction bearings, etc., necessitates that the air inlet on the lubricator be piped into the top of the bearing housing to equalize pressure.
SURGE LEVEL
In certain cases, such as in gear boxes, a
considerable quantity of liquid is carried
by the gears to the upper portion of the
gear housing during operation. After
shutdown, the liquid surges back to the
lubricator and raises the liquid level.
Constant level lubricator should therefore
be equipped with a sufficient surge level
to prevent liquid from overflowing through
the air intake.
Typical installation (Figure 3) for ring-oiledbearings. Liquid level should be slightly aboveinside diameter of ring. With the correct liquidlevel the ring carries liquid to shaft smoothlywithout splashing and chattering.
This installation (Figure 2) is especially suitable for bearings having excessive backpressure or vacuum. A constant level is maintained in spite of air pressure or vacuumin bearing, as equalizing tube assures staticbalance of pressure between bearing andlubricator.

suggests the use of chain cleaners, followed by brush lubricating. Chain cleaners are strongly recommended whenabrasive conditions exist, and oiling even in these cases isconsidered advantageous as it will prolong chain life.
Chains operating at elevated temperatures (above 250° F)can be lubricated by brush oilers with stainless steel brushes, or with stainless steel wire wheel brushes, whichare rotated by the chain, transferring oil from a pan to the underside of the chains. Spraying is also widely used to lubricate “hot” chains.
Special methods of lubrication should be found, if possible,for chains which come in contact with material being handled. These problems are sometimes very difficult as thematerial itself might be very sensitive or prohibit the use of oilor grease.
Chain Brush Lubrication
The use of a brush is the most effective and reliable methodof chain lubrication, avoiding excess oil, dripping and slippery floors. The bristles of a brush are flexible and will follow the contour of the moving chain thus spreading anddistributing oil to essential high and low points.
A brush will also perform a cleaning action in addition tooiling. Accumulated dirt and old lubricants are wiped off automatically. Brush type lubrication therefore accomplishesthe dual function of oiling as well as cleaning. Oil-Rite’s brushtype lubricators are adaptable to most equipment. They maybe selected from many styles, and if only a small space isavailable, components can be installed separately and connected with tubing.
Brushes for general purpose use have specially selectedbristles for oil retention and good wear. They are normallyfurnished with all regular catalog items. Crimped black nylonbrushes are available for greater wear resistance, longer lifeand are recommended for high speed chains. Crimped stainless steel brushes can be used for lubricating high temperature chains (above 250° F) as well as for cleaning.Selection of brush size and mounting:1. Select lubricator with a brush size wide enough to almost
cover the chain width.2. Whenever possible locate brush on the inside surface of
the chain, so oil will penetrate chain links by centrifugalforce.
3. Brushes should ride the chain at a point where there is aminimum of sway to prevent damage to the brush.
4. Rotate brushes occasionally and adjust to compensatefor wear. Provision is made on nearly all units for a minimum of ½” brush wear.
Chain Cleaning
Chains operating in dusty and dirty surroundings should becleaned periodically. Complete removal of chains for cleaning purposes is not necessary as chains can effectively be cleaned automatically without removal.
Stainless Steel Brushes
Brushes with stainless steel bristles suitablymounted offer one method of chain cleaning.Care should be taken to install the brushes ata point where chains sway is at a minimum.
Wire Wheel Brushes
Wire wheel brushes are ideal for cleaningchains. They can be mounted on oppositesides of the chain and rotated by the chainitself, thus cleaning it automatically.
Write us for recommendations regarding chain lubrication for your machinery. You can benefit from practical ideas tested and successfully used by others.
Chain Lubrication
Chain Lubrication
All chains should be lubricated in order to protect a costlyinvestment. You will profit by the recommendations made,since chain life will be increased many times. Even underdusty and abrasive conditions, lubrication is recommended.Only when it is impossible to lubricate should a chain beoperated dry at a sacrifice in chain life.
The primary purpose of chain lubrication is to provide afilm of oil at all load carrying points where motion occurs.This will reduce friction, minimize wear, stretch, corrosion,and reduce power consumption. Benefits obtained will payfor the lubricating equipment in a very short time.
The proper selection of equipment for dispensing the lubricant to the wearing surfaces of the chain is of primeimportance. Many factors influence the choice of equipmentshown in this brochure. The selection of a suitable lubricantis equally important, and we suggest you consult your oilcompany.
Helpful Engineering Data
Power Drive Chains
The amount and type of lubrication are governed by the typeof chain and operating conditions. The lubrication neededwill depend upon friction and heat. All power drive chainscreate heat, some considerable, some little. Generally, theoperating temperature should not exceed 160° F.
Fig. 1.
Proper lubricatingmethods for powerdrive chains can bedivided into fourareas, and selectedfrom chart Fig. 1.1. Determine pitchdiameter in inches ofthe small sprocket.2. Determine revo-lutions per minute ofthe small sprocket.3. Extend linesfrom pitch diameterand RPM. The areain which these lines
meet will indicate the lubricating method.
The recommended methods of chain lubrication are:1. Slow to medium speed area.
Use brush lubricator with nylon brushes.2. High speed area.
Use brush lubricator with nylon brushes or spray systemfor best wearing qualities.
3. Extremely high speed area.Use force feed oiling system to carry away heat.
Conveyor and Elevator Chains
The lubrication of these chains depends upon many factors,and operating conditions usually govern the method of lubrication. We will be glad to make specific recommendations for individual applications.
Many methods of lubrication may be used which in mostcases depend on the nature of the surrounding atmosphere.Clean atmosphere may permit the use of brush type lubrication. The existence of lint or non-abrasive dust

CHAIN LUBRICATORS dispense liquid
by gravity from a reservoir to an integral
brush through an adjustable needle
valve. Available with manual or electro
shutoff.
These units have an adjustable liquid
feed rate which is observed through the
lower sight chamber. Flow to brush is
controlled by either the manual shutoff
or by wiring a solenoid valve across the
line of the drive motor, providing
automatic operation. The flexible bristles
of the brush follow the contour of the
moving chain and spread liquid to all
load-bearing points. Brushes can be
adjusted for wear and can be readily
replaced.
Reservoirs are transparent,
break-resistant, high temperature plastic
which allows quick visual check of liquid
supply. A 5/8-18 threaded mounting
shank is provided with each unit.
SINGLE LINE SYSTEMS manually or
solenoid actuated, these systems are
designed to operate with a central
reservoir. Connected in series with a
single line or pipe, it dispenses liquid by
gravity from a full flow dispenser to a
valve brush, Style SFGC.
Shutting off liquid supply on
dispenser will immediately stop the flow
of liquid to the valve brush eliminating
danger of reaching into drives in haz-
ardous quarters. Remote mounting of
brushes permit installation in narrow
quarters. A single dispenser for gravity
feeding will feed up to 24 valve brushes.
Pressure dispensers can feed as many
as 60 valve brushes from a single line.
Brushes can be adjusted for wear and
can be readily replaced.
MULTIPLE LINE SYSTEMS release liquid from a centralized dispenserthrough multiple needle valves.
These systems supply liquid to widelyseparated points. They are controlled,observed and filled from one central station which eliminates danger of reaching into drives or hazardous quarters. Shutting off of liquid supply at central dispenser will immediately stopliquid flow to valves. However, the liquidwhich remains in the tubing will dispenseto brushes.
Central dispensers can be equippedwith 2 to 24 sight feed valves. Oil-Rite’snew manifold multiple feed valve systems are very versatile and sturdy inconstruction. This exclusive and uniquefeature allows for the first time, the optionof changing the manifold arrangement inthe field by merely stacking them togeth-er. Each feed valve can be separatelyadjusted and the setting retained.Manual and solenoid controlled modelsare available.
Single Chain Lubricators Consist of:

Chain Lubricators
ELECTRO CHAIN LUBRICATORS WITH BRUSHES areespecially suitable for intermittent operations. They are turnedon and off automatically with a solenoid valve which is wiredacross the line of the chain drive motor. The solenoid can alsobe operated by a separate switch or timer for intermittent use.
Liquid is fed to brushes by gravity through a solenoid valve.It is then fed to an adjustable precision needle valve with a friction lock, which guards against loosening from vibration.Drop feeding can be observed through the viewing window inthe mounting shank.
The flexible bristles of the brush follow the contour of themoving chain and spread liquid to all load-carrying points. Thisresults in a reduction of chain wear which prolongs the life ofcostly chains. Lubrication occurs only when the chain movesthrough the brush riding on the chain. For typical installation,see page 39.

SHANK BRUSH DISPENSERS consist of a central lubricator with single or multiple feed valves and copper orplastic tubing which connects to shank brushes.
This system allows single or multiple chain lubricationfrom one reservoir. Remote mounting of brushes permit installation in extremely narrow quarters. Drop feeding iscontrolled by feed valves directly beneath central lubricator,thus eliminating danger of reaching into drives in hazardousquarters. Shutting off liquid supply on central lubricator will immediately stop drop feeding of valves. The liquid whichremains in the tubing, however, will dispense to brushes.Central lubricators can be equipped with 1 to 24 feed outlets.Manual or automatic solenoid valve controlled models are available.

CIRCULATING OIL SYSTEMS are themost versatile type of lubrication systemavailable. They are often used on largeexpensive bearings, or when it isabsolutely essential to provide continuousoperation under adverse conditions.
A typical pump dispenser which provides a continuous flow of liquid to the bearings is shown. By proper direction ofliquid flow, this system can be used for heavily loaded bearings operating at highspeeds and temperatures. This type ofsystem is good in extremely dirty and corrosive atmospheres. The liquid is normally returned to the pump dispenserby gravity. Adequately sized return linesare necessary with vents to provide a freeflow of return liquid back to the reservoir.Any restricted flow at this point couldcause high liquid level in the bearinghousing, creating heat, and damaging the bearings. Flow sights are often used tomonitor the return liquid flow. There are
also a wide variety of sight feed valvesand control valves available to adjust and regulate the liquid flow into the bearing.
Several of the common options available for the pump dispensers aredual pumps for a back up system, dual filters available in micron ratings down to5 microns, heat exchangers, either aircooled or water cooled, permitting heatremoval rates extending into the hundreds of thousands of BTU/HR.Heaters can also be provided to maintaina certain liquid temperature, and can be utilized for cold weather start ups.Pressure regulating devices, along withpressure switches, low level switches,and filter condition alarms are also available.
These systems can be found as simpleoff the shelf devices or can be specifically designed and engineered toactual customer needs.

UNIVERSAL PATTERN BULLS-EYE SIGHT FEED VALVES
allow visual observation of the liquid stream from a distance,
with the volume of flow controlled by an adjustable needle
valve. The Bulls-Eye sight feed valve has excellent flow char-
acteristics with low pressure drop.
These units are principally used on gravity or pressure
oiling systems of larger machinery for lubrication where
considerable capacities of liquid must be dispensed.
Large sight glass windows on both sides of the valve can
easily be removed for cleaning or replacement without
disconnecting the valve. Threaded retaining rings on both
sides secure the glass with full circumferential support for
excellent sight pressure integrity.

CONSTANT FLOW CONTROL VALVES are used in low
pressure lubricating systems. They do not require frequent
adjustment usually needed on ordinary valves.
They have a fixed flow rate and can be equipped with
orifices producing a specific flow rate ranging from ounces
per minute to gallon per minute. The flow rate selected will
remain constant within plus or minus 20% for 3 to 9 ounces
per minute, and within plus or minus 10% for 1 pint to 1
gallon per minute. This accuracy will be retained with varying
pressures, ranging from 15 PSI minimum to 125 PSI
maximum, and with any oil having a viscosity of 400 SSU
minimum to 750 SSU maximum.

Spray System Dispensers
AIR OPERATED SPRAY DISPENSERS
feed liquid to elevated, distant, or inaccessible points. The system consistsof a central acrylic reservoir which dispenses liquid through one or morespray nozzles.
These lubricators can be used to applyliquid to conveyors, chain drives, bullgears, trolley wheel bearings, wire rope,strip stock for punch presses, or anyother application requiring a film of liquid.The amount of liquid sprayed is infinitelyadjustable from a fine spray, invisible tothe eye, to a coarse spray by adjustingthe air pressure of the needle valve onthe spray nozzle. Any liquid that flows canusually be sprayed, up to 1000 SSUviscosity at 100° F. The lighter the liquid,
the easier it is to spray.Operation is simple. A normal air line of
approximately 80 PSI is connected to apressure regulator which reduces thepressure within the reservoir to anydesired amount. This adjustable, reducedair pressure forces the liquid through piping to separate control valves for dispensing or spraying. Smooth control ofliquid flow can be effected by pressureregulation and separate control valves, adesirable feature for conditions demanding fine adjustment.
For best performance, a second regulator with suitable air capacity is supplied to adjust the air pressure tospray valves. Operation can be madeautomatic with two solenoid valves which
can be activated by a motor drive or witha timer. This allows the valves to continually or momentarily apply a film ofliquid. A relief valve makes operationsafe.

AIR OPERATED SPRAY DISPENSERS
permit fine or coarse spraying of liquidsfrom any angle. The system consists principally of a central steel reservoirwhich dispenses liquid through one ormore spray nozzles.
This spray system can be used toapply liquid to conveyors, chain drives,bull gears, trolley wheel bearings, wirerope, strip stock for punch presses, orany other application requiring a film ofliquid. The amount of liquid sprayed isinfinitely adjustable from a fine spray,invisible to the eye, to a coarse spray, byadjusting the air and liquid pressure orthe needle valve on the spray nozzle. Anyliquid that flows can usually be sprayed,up to 1000 SSU viscosity at 100° F. The
lighter the liquid, the easier it is to spray.Operation is simple. An air line at
approximately 80 PSI is connected to aregulator which reduces the air pressurewithin the reservoir to a desired amount.This reduced air pressure forces liquidthrough tubing to individual or gang-mounted spray nozzles each having a precision needle valve adjustment. Smooth, hairline adjustmentscan be made and any setting retained.
An additional regulator on the centralreservoir for air pressure allows furthercontrol. Air filters are available as anoption. Liquid filters and pressure reliefvalves are also provided.
For automatic operation, solenoid shut-off valves are available. The
solenoid valves permit continuous ormomentary spray application of a liquidfilm. This is done by either wiring thesolenoid valves across the line of a drive
motor to turn on and off the system automatically with the drive or a timer canbe used.

DELUXE AIR OPERATED DISPENSERS
offer a compact design, extreme reliability, with built in components. Theair pressurized reservoir feeds liquid toelevated, distant, or inaccessible points.These systems are ideal for use on applications where gravity feeding is notsuitable. This unit is exceptionally desirable for dusty and dirty surroundings, since the pressure withinthe reservoir prevents foreign matter fromcontaminating liquid or clogging valves.
Operation is simple. A normal air line atapproximately 80 PSI is connected to apressure regulator which reduces thepressure within the steel reservoir to anydesired amount. This adjustable reducedair pressure forces the liquid through piping to control valves for dispensing orspraying. Very fine adjustments of liquidflow can be achieved by air pressure regulation and control valves.
For best performance, a second pressure regulator with suitable capacityis supplied for use on spray systems inorder to precisely adjust the air volume tospray valves. Operation can be made
automatic with the use of two solenoidvalves. Stopping and starting is accomplished by wiring across a motordrive or by using a timer. A dump valve isprovided to bleed the air from the reservoir before filling. A relief valve setfor 30 PSI makes operation safe.
The reservoir of either 2½ gal. or 5 gal.capacity is bolted to the lower base whichhouses all components with only flushmounted level gage and control handlesexposed. Air filters and liquid filters canreadily be serviced for cleaning. The dispenser can be either floor mounted orwall mounted. Wall mounting requires anoptional wall bracket which can be provided.
The steel dispenser is designed toserve as a central reservoir for lubricatingsystems. It is furnished with an oil filter,pressure regulator with gage, relief valve,liquid level gage, and a filler cap forreplenishing the oil supply.
These lubricators can be used to applyliquid to conveyors, chain drives, bullgears, trolley wheel bearings, wire rope,strip stock for punch presses, or any other
application requiring a film or liquid. Theamount of liquid sprayed is infinitelyadjustable from a fine spray, invisible tothe eye, to a coarse spray by adjustingthe air pressure or the needle valve on thespray nozzle. Any liquid that flows can besprayed up to 1000 SSU viscosity at 100°F. The lighter the liquid, the easier it is tospray.

SPRAY VALVES have excellent,dependable performance in a compactdesign and are offered in flat or roundspray patterns. The spray valves minimize objectional fogging. Any liquidthat flows, up to a viscosity of 1000 SSUat 100° F., can be sprayed.
The spray valves are used for a multitude of applications such as lubrication of chains, cables, gears,punches, dies, drills, taps, reamers,milling cutters, grinding wheels, sheetstock, die casting molds --- applying liquid to food products, water to embossing rolls of paper machinery, etc.The amount of liquid sprayed is infinitelyadjustable from a fine spray, invisible tothe eye, to a coarse spray to suit mostapplications.
Spray valves are provided with a liquidinlet, (1/8” female NPT). Each unit has anextra-fine needle valve to meter or shutoff the flow of liquid with a knurled handwheel.
Spray valves with a larger orifice arealso available for very heavy liquid, andfor applications where large quantitiesare to be sprayed. Tamperproof con-struction is also available. Spray valvescan be manifold mounted, if so desired.SPECIFICATIONS:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SPRAY VALVES
1. All spray valves should be operatedwith air operated dispensers havingdual-pressure control, one for liquidand one for air. For best performance,the liquid pressure should equal orexceed the air pressure.
2. Use the needle valve for adjustmentonly. This adjustment is sensitive; aslittle as ¼ turn either way may givedesired results.
3. Both liquid and air nozzles are readily removable for cleaning. Theyare machined to close limits, and theslightest change in shape, due to mishandling, may alter the spray pattern unacceptably.
4. When making adjustment on tamperproof valves, use two wrenches so that the packing nut is not disturbed. If the packing nut is over-tightened, it could force the stemagainst the seat and damage it.
PREVENTION OF AFTER-DRIP
1. To minimize drip after shut-off, an indi-vidual shut-off or check valve shouldbe located in the liquid line close tothe nozzle.
2. Cycle liquid only and leave air on continuously.
3. Leave air on longer than liquid topurge spray valve.
4. Use piping as small as possible (1/8 ODtube) for liquid leading to spray valvesfrom solenoid valves.
5. Locate solenoid valve as close aspossible to spray valve.
6. Make sure no air is in liquid line. Thiswill act as an accumulator and forceliquid through spray valves after solenoid valve is shut off.
7. Hoses will also act as accumulator,expanding during pressure cycle andcontracting during pressure off, thereby forcing excess liquid throughspray valves.
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FOR
REDUCING FOGGING AND
ATMOSPHERIC CONTAMINATION
1. Excessive air volume and or air velocity.Remedy: Lower air pressure at spray
valve to an absolute minimum.
2. Nozzle too far from point of application, causing excessive air friction.Remedy: Move spray nozzle closer
to point of application. As aresult, two or more valvesmay be required to compensate for the smallerpattern.
3. Air movement and air turbulencecaused by the movement of the material being sprayed can deflectspray into the atmosphere.Remedy: Spray at an angle against
material travel.Experimentto find best angle.

Multiple Sight Feed Valves
MULTIPLE SIGHT FEED VALVES permit feeding ofliquids to widely separated points, controlled andobserved from one central location. They are suitablefor gravity or pressure lubricating systems. Thesevalves are used in a variety of industries: chemical,mining, paper, agricultural, marine, woodworking, textile, and can be used to lubricate typical equipmentlike pumps, compressors, machine tools, bearings,seals, punch presses and rollers.
A revolutionary principle regarding the assembly ofthese valves has been incorporated. The customer,for the first time has the option of changing the unit inthe field by merely stacking them together, eliminatingthe costly tie-rod and manifold method.
Very compact, the multiple valves require only theminimum amount of space making the valves especially suitable for lubricating inaccessible places.
Construction is extremely sturdy using a 5/8" squarealuminum alloy. “O” rings between the valves form apositive seal. The generous sight viewing glass isfirmly held between two gaskets. Buna-N seals arefurnished throughout and are suitable in operation for225° F. and 125 P.S.I. maximum. The valve assemblyis provided with a single 1/8 " female N.P.T. inlet, andthe outlets are equipped with 1/4 " O.D. tube fittings.
The sight chamber of the valve is equipped with avent. The purpose of this vent is to eliminate any airblock which might occur in some applications whichdevelop a suction or back pressure.
Modification for special applications can also befurnished such as solenoid actuation, special gasketmaterial and other materials.

CONSTANT FLOW CONTROL VALVES have a fixed flowrate and can be equipped with orifices producing a specificflow rate ranging from 3 ounces per minute to 1 gallon perminute. The flow rate selected will remain constant within plusor minus 20% for 3 ounces to 9 ounces per minute, and within plus or minus 10% for 1 pint to 1 gallon per minute. Thisaccuracy will be retained with varying pressures, ranging from15 PSI minimum to 125 PSI maximum, and with any oil having a viscosity of 400 SSU minimum to 750 SSU maximum.
Flow control valves are used in low pressure lubricatingsystems. They do not require frequent adjustment usuallyneeded on ordinary valves and are, therefore, especially suitable for use in automated plants, for elevated, distant, orhard to get at places.
The cylinder in the body, as well as the piston and spring,can readily be removed due to the unique construction. Thisallows a piston with a certain orifice to be exchanged with adifferent one for changing the flow rate if necessary.

Shutoff Valves & Precision Relief Valves
PRECISION RELIEF VALVES meet the industry’s requirements for more exacting and reliable performance. Therelief valve has a fixed upper pressure rating which is heldwithin close tolerances. In addition, relief pressures can bereduced and any setting locked. The setting for the upper limitis tamperproof and cannot be adjusted.
These units are used as a safety device on reservoirswhere a certain maximum pressure should not be exceeded,or for any other application demanding pressure to be relievedat a specific value. The valves are offered in relief pressureratings of 30 PSI and 60 PSI maximum. They have a ¼ inchpipe thread.
The function of this device is simple. A plunger equippedwith an O-ring is seated against a port inside the valve body.A spring holds the plunger to its seat. An enclosure cap isscrewed over the valve body which is used to adjust the valvefor the upper pressure limit. A vent hole on the top of the capallows the escape of the released air or liquid. A locknut is provided on the valve body to lock the cap in place.
Units are installed by means of the pipe thread provided. Touse the relief valve for the maximum rated pressure, screw thetop cap down until seated and lock this setting with the locknut.
Should it be desirable to reset the valve for a lower pressure, it is only necessary to back off the top cap to a suitable point producing the desired pressure relief, and lockthe setting with the locknut.

It operates in any position and is furnishedwith ¼ pipe threads. The solenoid valve is normally closed.When current is applied to the solenoid, the valve port opensand it is automatically closed again when the current is shutoff. These valves are for continuous duty and flow cannotbe adjusted.
They are available in all commercial voltages and frequencies. The coil is permanently molded into the housing,creating a very durable, water resistant construction.
Solenoid valves are usually pipe mounted. They are sturdyin construction, using aluminum alloy bodies and stainlesssteel plungers and springs. Buna-N seals are standard.Neoprene, Butyl, or Ethylene Propylene and Viton® seals arealso available upon request.

Window Flow Sights
WINDOW FLOW SIGHTS FOR FULL FLOW offer no restrictions to the flow, permitting liquid to flow freely. The flowof liquid and its clarity can be visually observed through thesights. The units have an airtight sight chamber.
The Window Sights are primarily used in low pressure oillines. There are no restrictions on the inside, therefore, nopressure drop, resulting in the full flow of liquid equal torespective pipe size. They can be installed in any position,either horizontally, vertically, or at an angle, and are offered invarious pipe sizes.
Construction is simple and sturdy. Body is made from barstock and is steel, plated. The sight is glass with Buna-Nseals. Maximum recommended pressure is 125 P.S.I., andmaximum temperature is 225° F.
There are five standard pipe thread sizes ranging from 1/8”to 3/4” female pipe thread. Larger sizes can be provided onrequest.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Pressure 125 P.S.I. Maximum• Temperature 225° F. Maximum• Sight Glass-Pressure Tight Solid Gaskets• Body Steel, Plated• Seals Buna-N
WINDOW FLOW SIGHTS WITH RESTRICTED ORIFICE
dispense liquid at a fixed flow rate which is determined by theorifice selected.
The flow of liquid is downward through a nozzle in the transparent sight and can readily be observed. Pipe threadsfor inlet and outlet are provided. All units are normally furnished with a pressure tight sight.
These flow sights have many applications. They provide asimple, tamperproof method of furnishing the desired amountof lubrication for bearings without the use of control valves.The sights can be used as components in lubricating systemsand in a multitude of applications involving fluid transfer.
The construction is rigid. Bodies are machined from steelbar stock, and are plated. Buna-N seals are used. Inlet andoutlet are offered in 1/8” or 1/4” female pipe threads. The sightsare glass. There are four standard orifices available, rangingfrom 1/32” to 1/8” in diameter. Special orifices are available onrequest.

PROTECTED VENT — The vent hole in capallows air to communicate with the atmos-phere and also minimizes the possibility ofdust, dirt or moisture getting inside the gage.
LEAKPROOF CONSTRUCTION — Theglass sight is mounted between an oil-resis-tant seal of long-life Buna-N and a Teflon®
glass protector.
REVOLVABLE SHIELDS — By looseningthe cap, the shield can be revolved into themost convenient position for viewing or takenoff completely for cleaning.
QUICK RESPONSE — Large vent hole andunrestricted passages permit fast, accurate liquid level response to level change in mainreservoir.
BENEFITS — To visibly indicate liquid sup-ply level on machinery lubrication and liquid storage systems. Brass gages resist rust andcorrosion.

UNION COUPLING BRASS GAGES are for applications requiring horizontal inlets. They are used inareas where clearance from obstructions do not permitrotating the gage for assembly.
The brass level gages for visibly indicating liquid levels are rugged, machined from brass stock and haveglass sights which are protected by revolvable shields.A protected vent hole in the cap reduces the possibilityof dust, dirt or moisture getting inside the gage.
SHORT ELBOW BRASS GAGES are for applications requiring horizontal inlets with minimal clearance for mounting.
LONG ELBOW BRASS GAGES are for applications requiring horizontal inlets which need additional clearance.

Milled Aluminum Liquid Level Gage These flush mount gages offer a
rugged milled aluminum construction with a unique staked end body design
to handle any industrial liquid level application.
These gages can be used to view liquid levels in hydraulic reservoirs,
gearboxes, bearing housings, crankcases, transformers and machinery oil
reservoirs.
Fluid enters through a cross hole in the hollow lower bolt and is
communicated back into the tank, through the cross hole in the
hollow top bolt. The gage is offered in centerline lengths ranging from 3” to
36”.
The unique design of this gage minimizes parts and optimizes production
capabilities thus offering a very competitive liquid level gage. The milled
aluminum body provides adequate fluid visibility yet a rigid gage design. All
aluminum components resist rust and corrosion.

CHANNEL LEVEL GAGES can be mounted flush againstthe outside surface of a reservoir with only a small amountof protrusion.
Liquid level gages for flush mounting are used for a multitude of applications, such as on tanks, reservoirs,packaged hydraulic equipment, large steel mill pumps,hydraulic presses, and for any other application where it isdesirable to indicate fluid levels.
These level gages are used to determine the liquid levelinside a metal reservoir by visual observation of the level ina transparent sight. The clarity and condition of the liquidcan also be checked. Models with a thermometer will showthe temperature of the liquid as well.
Extremely sturdy and rigid, these gages come with glasssights mounted inside the steel channel shield to providemaximum protection against breakage. Visibility of the liquid level is excellent through the large sight opening. Areflector enhances the visibility of the liquid level. Liquidlevel markings can be added on request.
Back mounting gages are used on tanks permittingaccess to the inside, in order to fasten the nuts on themounting studs inserted in drilled holes in reservoirs. Frontmounting gages are used on reservoirs which do NOTpermit access to the inside, therefore, the tanks must havetwo tapped holes, ½-20, to receive the mounting studs,which are fastened from the outside.

RIGID PLASTIC LEVEL GAGES can be mounted flush against the out-side surface of a liquid reservoir with only a small amount of protrusion.
Liquid level gages for flush mounting are used for a multitude of appli-cations, such as on tanks, reservoirs, packaged hydraulic equipment,large steel mill pumps, hydraulic presses, and for any other applicationwhere it is desirable to indicate liquid levels.
Liquid level gages are used to determine the liquid level inside areservoir by visual observation of the level in a transparent sight. Theclarity and condition of the liquid can easily be checked. Models with athermometer will also show the temperature of the liquid.
Break resistant level gages show the liquid level clearly from all sides.These gages are made of clear, transparent, almost unbreakableTrogamid® nylon which can be furnished in many lengths.
Back mounting gages are used on tanks permitting access to theinside in order to fasten the nuts on the mounting studs, inserted in drilledholes in reservoirs. Front mounting gages are used on reservoirs whichdo NOT permit access to the inside, therefore, the tank must have twotapped holes, to receive the mounting studs, which are fastened from theoutside. Many special gages have been developed for customer’s specific applications.

GASKETED WINDOW SIGHTS have sights that are placedbetween two seals within the sight bodies, providing a leaktight seal.
These window sights are used for fluid sighting on hydraulictanks, pressure vessels, reservoirs, packaged power equipment, hydraulic lines and piping or most any applicationwhere oil or fluid inspection is essential.
An exclusive feature of these units is the new stainless steelreflector which maximizes visibility in poor light. The reflectorwill not tarnish, corrode or discolor under the most adverseconditions.
These sights are principally used to visually indicate liquidlevels, observing liquid condition, fluid motion, mechanicalmovements, or tests performed with a safe enclosure. Two ormore sights can be mounted so as to indicate High-Low or in-between levels.

SINGLE STAGE LIQUID LEVEL SWITCHES are designed to shut downmachinery or turn on warning devices when the liquid supply fails or recedes to apredetermined level. This is especially important in automated plants whichdemand bearing protection to safeguard against downtime and costly repairs.
The units are ideal for monitoring the liquid level in unattended automated plants,large bearings, gear cases, transformers, circuit breakers, oil tanks, and cutting oilreservoirs on screw machines, along with many other applications. They can bewired to flash a warning light, sound a howler, shut down a machine, or signal acomputer.
The switch with a clear acrylic reservoir is used for remote indication of low liquid levels. The top outlet can be piped directly into the reservoir, or it can be vented to the outside for use on applications with atmospheric pressure.
The switch less reservoir is designed for internal use on open or pressure tanks.Simplicity makes these switches reliable in operation. When the liquid in the
reservoir recedes to the low level, a magnet carried inside of the float actuates areed switch within the central pipe.
The magnetic reed switch is single pole-single throw and is intended for pilot control only. It is potted into an auxiliary tube with silicone rubber for protectionagainst shock and moisture. This reed switch assembly is screwed into the lowerend of the liquid control switch and can be removed without draining the float chamber. An Oil-Rite relay is recommended.

TWO STAGE ACTUATION USING TWO SINGLE STAGE
SWITCHES
Two single stage switches can be used for hi-low actuationwhen the actuation levels required are further apart than onthe two stage level switch. When the liquid in the dispenserfalls to a predetermined low level, a magnet in the lower floatactuates a reed switch, which in turn actuates the controlrelay. This control relay turns on the white light and opens thesolenoid valve, allowing liquid from the supply tank to refill thedispenser. When the liquid level in the dispenser rises to apredetermined high level, the magnet in higher float actuatesa reed switch, which in turn actuates the control relay. Thiscontrol relay turns on a green light and closes the solenoidvalve thus stopping the flow of the liquid from the supply tankto the dispenser.
SINGLE STAGE
When the liquid level in the tank is above a predeterminedlevel, the white light is on indicating an adequate liquid supply.When the liquid level falls below this predetermined level, themagnet in the float actuates the reed switch, which in turn signals the control relay. The control relay then turns off thewhite light and turns on the red light and horn to indicate a lowliquid supply level. This DPDT switch arrangement also allowsfor auxiliary contacts so other indication or switching may beinitiated at the low level signal.
ONE STAGE RELAY
Closing circuit (a) energizes coil (c) of relay which triggers andholds contacts (e) in position Y. When circuit (a) is open con-tacts (e) return to position X.
TWO STAGE RELAY
Closing circuit (a) with circuit (b) open energizes relay coil (c)which triggers and holds contacts (e) in position (x). Only amomentary closing of circuit (c) is necessary to attain position(x). Closing circuit (b) with circuit (a) open energizes coil (d) ofrelay which triggers and holds contacts (e) in position (y). Onlya momentary closing of circuit (d) is necessary to attain posi-tion (y). The 4 P.D.T. contacts can be used to open or closeseparate individual circuits.

INSTALLATION
1. Mount switch with suitable brackets or connectors to suitthe application.
2. Be sure to locate switch at correct height for proper functioning and switch actuation. The relation of the liquidto the lower liquid inlet is shown on the respective drawing.
3. Mount switch upright, within 10° of vertical, to minimizefriction of float on central pipe.
4. Wire switch according to basic wiring diagram. An optional conduit box, designed for these switches, can beattached to the switch.
5. Use the switch with the suggested control relay for bestperformance and long life. If the switch is used without thesuggested Oil-Rite relay, be sure to keep the switch loadwithin the resistive load rating, as specified.
MAINTENANCE
1. Very little maintenance is required but preventive maintenance is in order by an inspection at regular intervals.
2. Inspect switch and relay visually and check for leaks, loosebolts or nuts, buoyancy of float, loose wire connections,etc.
3. Actuate reed switch by lowering and raising float. If this isnot possible, remove the reed switch assembly with ascrewdriver through the lower end of the central pipe andcheck reed switch with a small magnet. The reed switchcan be removed without disturbing the liquid.
4. In the event of a reed switch failure, replace the entire reedswitch assembly, as all reed switches are permanentlysealed in tubing for shock and moisture protection.
5. Check relay functioning and contacts.
