INTRODUCTION 

TO 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 

LUBRICATION TRENDS 

Why Less Lubrication is Better 

Traditionally, lubrication users have been under a mis-conception that if a small amount of 

liquid is good, then a larger amount of liquid is better. This tendency to over-lubricate has 

led to other problems in industry such as material contamination, clean up expenses and 

environmental contamination. In some cases, users have removed lubrication systems 

entirely 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. 

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 

In gravity feed systems, the liquid is dispensed 

through a manually adjusted needle valve. As the 

liquid level in the reservoir changes, the drip rate 

changes due to the head pressure of the liquid. 

This leads to over or under-lubrication.

THE PurgeX ® THEORY 

How It Works 

PurgeX ® is a pump that dispenses a precise amount of lubricant with 

each cycle. It is available air operated or electric motor operated, and 

can deliver liquid or grease directly through a 1/8” NPT port or 

through a spray nozzle. 

Adjustment stem for 

easy setting of 

lubrication delivered 

per cycle. 

AIR INLET 

Delivering the Smallest Amounts of 

Lubrication 

The ability to deliver very small amounts of lubricant with each cycle is what 

distinguishes PurgeX ® from all other lubrication products. In fact the name 

PurgeX ® , comes from its designed ability to purge air from the lubrication 

system. This eliminates the need to pre-fill lubrication lines during initial 

installation. If the liquid reservoir runs low, or air is introduced in some other 

manner into the system, the self-priming PurgeX ® will fill lines with lubricant 

automatically. The net result is the ability to reliably deliver the smallest 

amount of lubricant with each cycle. 

Anodized 

aluminum 

body resists 

corrosion. 

LIQUID INLET 

Each PurgeX ® pump has an adjustable precise lubricant delivery per cycle 

(see chart 1 below). On air operated models, the liquid output is adjustable 

from 0 to .012 cubic inches (.20 cc’s). On electric motor operated models 

the output is adjustable from 0 to .009 cubic inches (.15 cc’s). By setting the 

cycle rate of the PurgeX ® pump, a wide range of lubricant delivery over time 

is achieved. If needed, lubricant delivery can be completely shut off at any 

time by adjusting the piston to the fully closed position.

o-ring shuttles. 

Modular

Pressure increases in pump 

chamber forcing evacuation 

valve to open, allowing a 

measured volume of liquid to 

flow out of pump chamber.

Piston continues down and 

out of pump chamber 

ejecting liquid from the 

pump chamber, and 

physically contacting the 

evacuation valve. This over 

travel causes all remaining 

air bubbles and small 

impurities to flush out of the 

pump chamber. These air 

bubbles and small impurities 

are carried downstream 

during each cycle. Also, 

eliminates “After-Drip”.

Typical PurgeX ® System 

Requirements 

Simplicity of design, installation, and maintenance are the 

trademarks of PurgeX ® . Each unit is an independent pump, the 

basic requirements include only a lubricant reservoir, 3-way 

solenoid valve, timer or sequence signal, tubing and fittings. The 

illustration in the figure below, shows a basic system with four 

lubricant feed points. 

Multiple Feed Points 

In order to simplify tubing, fittings and mounting requirements in 

multiple feed point applications, the patented Threadapter ® system 

is used. Internal connections provide common air and lubricant lines 

for all PurgeX ® pumps in the same manifold. It is also easy to 

connect additional PurgeX ® pumps to the manifold at any time.

AIR OPERATED, LIQUID OR GREASE DELIVERY 

The B3162-100 & 300 series of PurgeX ® is air operated and designed for use with a wide 

variety of liquids and lubricating oils. The B3162-400 series of PurgeX ® is air operated 

and designed for grease delivery. A remote, pressurized grease reservoir is used to 

deliver grease to the PurgeX ® pump. An internal ball check in the outlet port permits 

pressurized delivery of the grease to the PurgeX ® pump. PurgeX ® pumps are quality 

engineered, manufactured, provide simplicity of operation, and are reliable over long 

periods of time (over 360,000,000 cycles have been achieved). Precise volumetric 

delivery is achieved with a positive displacement design and adjustment capability. 

• Air pressure from 3-way solenoid valve begins lubrication cycle. 

• When the air pressure is removed, the internal piston and evacuation valve retract, 

drawing liquid into the pumping chamber with a vacuum of 20-25” HG, preventing 

any after-drip of liquid. 

• A 9:1 ratio of the air side to the lube side of the piston provides reliable delivery 

in all typical applications. 

• For applications with multiple feed points, the PurgeX ® is supplied in a manifold with 

common air and liquid or grease inlet ports, using the Threadapter ® connector. Each 

PurgeX ® in the manifold operates as an individual pump with a separate adjustment 

for lubricant delivery per cycle. 

• PurgeX ® pump delivers small amounts of liquid/grease per cycle and can be rapid 

cycled for greater volumes or is excellent for high speed applications.

AIR AND ELECTRIC MOTOR OPERATED WITH 

INTEGRAL GREASE RESERVOIR 

Entirely engineered and precision 

manufactured in the USA, these grease 

pump systems employ the patented 

PurgeX ® technology and will dispense an 

accurate volume each cycle. The metering 

systems can be used with a wide range of 

greases 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 grease 

to be ejected. Location of the meter is not 

critical as the meter can be mounted in any 

orientation. For safety purposes, a relief 

valve is incorporated into the injector 

block. Each PurgeX ® operates as an 

individual pump and is available in single 

feed or multiple feed manifolds. 

B3560 

B3477 

B3325 

• For applications with multiple feed points, 

the Threadapter ® is a fastener for securing 

the two pumps together, which allows fluid 

communication in the manifold. This 

exclusive and unique feature allows the 

option of changing the units in the field by 

merely adding additional pumps.

THE SIX PACK 

“READY TO GO” LUBRICATION SYSTEM 

The Six Pack system from Oil-Rite ® provides simplicity and convenience in one easy to 

use package. Each system is equipped with a bank of air operated PurgeX ® pumps. A 

solid state timer controls the “on” and “off” times of the delivery cycle through a 3-way 

solenoid valve. All components are wired and plumbed to a back plate that is enclosed 

in a hinged door NEMA 12 enclosure, protecting components from the environment. A 

rugged 1/2 gallon crystal clear polycarbonate reservoir with a hinged lid mounted on 

top, feeds the system and allows for visual confirmation of the fluid level. This system 

proves a valuable solution for many applications. Each pump operates independently, 

allowing for individual adjustment of flow to each lube point. This precise delivery 

allows for efficient use of expensive fluids as well as virtually eliminating any excess 

fluid entering the environment. 

• No Priming Necessary-Positive Inlet Suction 

• Purges entrained air-will not vapor lock 

• Suck-Back feature (no after drip) from outlet 

• Vacuum of 20”-25” Hg generated on fluid inlet

Constant Level Lubricators 


OIL-RITE SERVICE TO DESIGN 

AND PLANT ENGINEERS 

Whether you are seeking the proper lubrication equipment 

for a machine still in the design stage or for machinery 

already in use, Oil-Rite can help you. Oil-Rite engineers, with 

all their accumulated knowledge and skills, will study your 

lubrication problem and help you select precisely the right 

equipment for your individual application. There’s no 

obligation. 

CAPACITY SELECTOR GUIDE-DROP FEED LUBRICATORS 

The selection of reservoir capacity for drop feed 

lubricators should take into consideration: 

1. Number of drops per minute to be dispensed. 

2. Desired interval between refill. 

3. Number of feed outlets in case of multiple 

lubricators. 

4. Continuous or intermittent operations. 

Table 1 serves as a guide and permits selection of a 

reservoir for individual needs.

*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 proper 

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 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.

CONSTANT LEVEL LUBRICATORS are built to give long, 

trouble free service. The finest materials and workmanship are 

incorporated throughout. They will maintain a fixed liquid level 

in a bearing housing or gear box. 

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 the liquid until a seal and 

proper level are again established. 

The Style CS Constant Level Lubricator is identical in 

design 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 reservoir 

need not be removed for refilling. A shutoff valve holds the 

liquid in the reservoir when the filler cap is removed. After the 

cap is screwed down again, the lubricator resumes normal 

functioning. 

An air vent is supplied which can be piped back to the 

bearing or gear box thereby equalizing any existing pressure 

or vacuum. The reservoir is crystal clear glass or shatterproof 

acrylic permitting the liquid supply to be visible at all times.

Single Feed Electro Lubricators 

Single Feed Electro Lubricators 

SINGLE FEED ELECTRO LUBRICATORS deliver a 

pre-adjusted rate of liquid, by gravity from a reservoir, through 

a normally closed solenoid valve to an adjustable needle 

valve, which has a friction lock to retain its setting. 

These units are simple, yet efficient. The drop feeding of 

the liquid can easily be observed through a lower sight 

chamber. Flow is controlled by wiring the normally closed 

solenoid valve across the line of the drive motor, providing 

automatic operation. The solenoid can be operated by a 

separate switch or timer for intermittent use. 

Durable, shatterproof acrylic reservoirs are for 

temperatures below 160° F. Crystal clear pyrex or polycarboate 

reservoirs are available for temperatures below 225° F. 

A self-closing filler cap is provided on top of the reservoir.

Multiple Feed Electro Lubricators 

Multiple Feed Electro Lubricators 

MULTIPLE FEED ELECTRO LUBRICATORS have been 

revolutionized by utilizing a new manifold, multiple sight feed 

valve system. This exclusive and unique feature allows, for 

the first time, the option of changing the units in the field by 

merely stacking them together. 

Liquid is released, by gravity, from a reservoir, through a 

normally closed solenoid valve to the new modular stacked 

multiple sight feed valves. Each valve is a complete unit that 

interlocks and seals with the preceding valve. 

Up to 24 sight feed valves can be separately adjusted and 

the setting retained by means of a friction lock. Drop feeding 

of liquid to widely separated points can be controlled and 

observed from one central location. 

The highest standard of quality is built into these Oil-Rite 

water resistant solenoid valves. The compact solenoid is 

usually wired across the line of the drive motor. The solenoid 

can be operated by a separate switch or timer for 

intermittent operation.

Reservoirs cont. 

TEN OUNCE RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY dispenses liquid, by 

gravity. This reservoir is injection molded polycarbonate and 

the enclosure cap is injection molded polypropylene. 

This reservoir is ideal for many applications. As an oil cup, 

it can be directly mounted to bearing housing, gear box, 

transmission, etc. It can also be assembled with a remote 

mounting shank, allowing for the reservoir to be mounted 

away from the point of application. 

The polycarbonate reservoir is transparent, allowing for 

visual inspection of contents, and is compatible with a wide 

range of fluids. It will tolerate temperature changes from 

minus 40° F. to maximum of 150° F. without any significant 

dimensional changes. It is shatterproof, making it well suited 

for rugged industrial applications, as well as areas where 

glass is not permitted.

POLYCARBONATE BOTTLES are fully transparent, sturdy, 

with rigid walls, almost indestructible, stain-resistant, and 

have a chemical resistance to wide range of fluids. 

They can be used for a multitude of applications such as 

containers for storage, laboratory experiments, shipping of 

parts or liquids and oil dispensing reservoirs. The bottles are 

also ideal for retaining samples of chemical or medical 

products. 

The bottles possess good fire resistant properties. They 

will permit the use of conventional marking or identifying 

techniques such as adhesive labels, silk screening, printing 

markers, etc. 

The enclosure caps are made of ultraviolet stabilized 

polypropylene, a material which matches the polycarbonate 

bottles in mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance to fluids. 

A large opening in the bottle simplifies filling and 

emptying without spillage. The shape of the bottle is such 

that it can be held securely even when wet to unscrew the 

enclosure.

Air Operated Dispensers 

ACRYLIC AIR OPERATED DISPENSERS dispense 

liquid by air pressure, from a reservoir to elevated, distant 

and inaccessible points. 




Air pressure is applied through an adjustable pressure 

regulator on the unit. This will reduce the pressure within the 

reservoir to a valve suitable for dispensing. Use higher 

pressure for heavy liquids and long pipe runs, and lower 

pressure for light liquids and shorter pipe runs. 

To fill the dispenser, simply turn off the air supply, bleed 

the reservoir and replenish liquid through the large filler cap 

on top of the unit. 

These units feature a liquid filter within the reservoir. The 

reservoir is made of crystal clear acrylic and provides a large 

filler cap.

Constant Level Lubricator Installation Instructions 

Installation Instruction 

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, be 

sure cap is always screwed down 

tight. Removing filler cap shuts off 

oil supply. Loose filler cap causes 

leakage of liquid from reservoir 

through 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 the 

air 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. 

This installation (Figure 2) is especially 

suitable for bearings having excessive back 

pressure or vacuum. A constant level is 

maintained in spite of air pressure or vacuum 

in bearing, as equalizing tube assures static 

balance of pressure between bearing and 

lubricator. 

Typical installation (Figure 3) for ring-oiled 

bearings. Liquid level should be slightly above 

inside diameter of ring. With the correct liquid 

level the ring carries liquid to shaft smoothly 

without splashing and chattering.

Chain Lubrication 



All chains should be lubricated in order to protect a costly 

investment. You will profit by the recommendations made, 

since chain life will be increased many times. Even under 

dusty and abrasive conditions, lubrication is recommended. 

Only when it is impossible to lubricate should a chain be 

operated dry at a sacrifice in chain life. 

The primary purpose of chain lubrication is to provide a 

film 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 pay 

for 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 prime 

importance. Many factors influence the choice of equipment 

shown in this brochure. The selection of a suitable lubricant 

is equally important, and we suggest you consult your oil 

company.

Power Drive Chains 

The amount and type of lubrication are governed by the type 

of chain and operating conditions. The lubrication needed 

will depend upon friction and heat. All power drive chains 

create heat, some considerable, some little. Generally, the 

operating temperature should not exceed 160° F. 

Fig. 1. 

Proper lubricating 

methods for power 

drive chains can be 

divided into four 

areas, and selected 

from chart Fig. 1. 

1. Determine pitch 

diameter in inches of 

the small sprocket. 

2. Determine revolutions 

per minute of 

the small sprocket. 

3. Extend lines 

from pitch diameter 

and RPM. The area 

in 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 system 

for 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 most 

cases 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 

suggests the use of chain cleaners, followed by brush 

lubricating. Chain cleaners are strongly recommended when 

abrasive conditions exist, and oiling even in these cases is 

considered 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, which 

are 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 the 

material itself might be very sensitive or prohibit the use of oil 

or grease. 

Chain Brush Lubrication 

The use of a brush is the most effective and reliable method 

of 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 and 

distributing oil to essential high and low points. 

A brush will also perform a cleaning action in addition to 

oiling. Accumulated dirt and old lubricants are wiped off 

automatically. Brush type lubrication therefore accomplishes 

the dual function of oiling as well as cleaning. Oil-Rite’s brush 

type lubricators are adaptable to most equipment. They may 

be selected from many styles, and if only a small space is 

available, components can be installed separately and 

connected with tubing. 

Brushes for general purpose use have specially selected 

bristles for oil retention and good wear. They are normally 

furnished with all regular catalog items. Crimped black nylon 

brushes are available for greater wear resistance, longer life 

and 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 centrifugal 

force. 

3. Brushes should ride the chain at a point where there is a 

minimum of sway to prevent damage to the brush. 

4. Rotate brushes occasionally and adjust to compensate 

for 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 be 

cleaned 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 suitably 

mounted offer one method of chain cleaning. 

Care should be taken to install the brushes at 

a point where chains sway is at a minimum. 

Wire Wheel Brushes 

Wire wheel brushes are ideal for cleaning 

chains. They can be mounted on opposite 

sides of the chain and rotated by the chain 

itself, 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 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 hazardous 

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 dispenser 

through multiple needle valves. 

These systems supply liquid to widely 

separated 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 stop 

liquid flow to valves. However, the liquid 

which remains in the tubing will dispense 

to brushes. 

Central dispensers can be equipped 

with 2 to 24 sight feed valves. Oil-Rite’s 

new manifold multiple feed valve 

systems are very versatile and sturdy in 

construction. This exclusive and unique 

feature allows for the first time, the option 

of changing the manifold arrangement in 

the field by merely stacking them together. 

Each feed valve can be separately 

adjusted and the setting retained. 

Manual and solenoid controlled models 

are available. 

Chain, Single & Multiple Systems 

Single Chain Lubricators Consist of: 

A. Complete System—External piping is 

not required. Simply mount lubricator 

at a position where there is a 

minimum amount of chain sway.

Chain Lubricators 

ELECTRO CHAIN LUBRICATORS WITH BRUSHES are 

especially suitable for intermittent operations. They are turned 

on and off automatically with a solenoid valve which is wired 

across the line of the chain drive motor. The solenoid can also 

be 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 in 

the mounting shank. 

The flexible bristles of the brush follow the contour of the 

moving chain and spread liquid to all load-carrying points. This 

results in a reduction of chain wear which prolongs the life of 

costly chains. Lubrication occurs only when the chain moves 

through the brush riding on the chain. For typical installation, 

see page 39.

MANUAL CHAIN LUBRICATORS WITH BRUSHES are ideal 

for continuous operation. They are turned on and off with a 

toggle shutoff and liquid is dispensed through a brush riding 

the chain. 

Liquid is fed to brushes by gravity through an adjustable 

precision needle valve with a friction lock, which guards 

against loosening from vibration. The toggle shutoff is used to 

start and stop liquid flow, but will not affect the metering 

adjustment. Drop feeding can be observed through the 

viewing window in the mounting shank. 

The flexible bristles of the brush follow the contour of the 

moving chain and spread liquid to all load-carrying points. This 

results in a reduction of chain wear which prolongs the life of 

costly chains. Any desired amount of liquid will be spread 

evenly on the chain assuring positive lubrication. For typical 

installation, see page 39.

Shank Brush Dispensers 

SHANK BRUSH DISPENSERS consist of a central 

lubricator with single or multiple feed valves and copper or 

plastic tubing which connects to shank brushes. 

This system allows single or multiple chain lubrication 

from one reservoir. Remote mounting of brushes permit 

installation in extremely narrow quarters. Drop feeding is 

controlled by feed valves directly beneath central lubricator, 

thus eliminating danger of reaching into drives in hazardous 

quarters. Shutting off liquid supply on central lubricator will 

immediately stop drop feeding of valves. The liquid which 

remains 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.

Valve Brush Dispensers 

VALVE BRUSH DISPENSERS consist of 

a central full flow dispenser and copper or 

plastic tubing which is then connected to 

valve brushes. 

These systems allow single or multiple 

chain lubrication from one reservoir. 

Remote mounting of brushes permit

Circulating Lubrication Systems 

CIRCULATING OIL SYSTEMS are the 

most versatile type of lubrication system 

available. They are often used on large 

expensive bearings, or when it is 

absolutely essential to provide continuous 

operation under adverse conditions. 

A typical pump dispenser which 

provides a continuous flow of liquid to the 

bearings is shown. By proper direction of 

liquid flow, this system can be used for 

heavily loaded bearings operating at high 

speeds and temperatures. This type of 

system is good in extremely dirty and 

corrosive atmospheres. The liquid is 

normally returned to the pump dispenser 

by gravity. Adequately sized return lines 

are necessary with vents to provide a free 

flow of return liquid back to the reservoir. 

Any restricted flow at this point could 

cause high liquid level in the bearing 

housing, creating heat, and damaging the 

bearings. Flow sights are often used to 

monitor the return liquid flow. There are 

also a wide variety of sight feed valves 

and control valves available to adjust and 

regulate the liquid flow into the bearing. 

Several of the common options 

available for the pump dispensers are 

dual pumps for a back up system, dual 

filters available in micron ratings down to 

5 microns, heat exchangers, either air 

cooled or water cooled, permitting heat 

removal rates extending into the 

hundreds of thousands of BTU/HR. 

Heaters can also be provided to maintain 

a certain liquid temperature, and can be 

utilized for cold weather start ups. 

Pressure regulating devices, along with 

pressure switches, low level switches, 

and filter condition alarms are also 

available. 

These systems can be found as simple 

off the shelf devices or can be 

specifically designed and engineered to 

actual 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 characteristics 

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.

occasional cleaning or for the 

replacement of the element itself. 

An idea of the capacity of the filter can 

be visualized from a test of 750 SSU 

liquid at 70° F. gravity feed with a 6 inch 

head. This resulted in a flow of ½ ounce 

per minute. The maximum pressure of the

Spray System Dispensers 

Air Operated Spray Dispensers 

AIR OPERATED SPRAY DISPENSERS 

feed liquid to elevated, distant, or 

inaccessible points. The system consists 

of a central acrylic reservoir which 

dispenses liquid through one or more 

spray nozzles. 

These lubricators can be used to apply 

liquid to conveyors, chain drives, bull 

gears, trolley wheel bearings, wire rope, 

strip stock for punch presses, or any 

other application requiring a film of liquid. 

The amount of liquid sprayed is infinitely 

adjustable from a fine spray, invisible to 

the eye, to a coarse spray by adjusting 

the air pressure of the needle valve on 

the spray nozzle. Any liquid 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. A normal air line of 

approximately 80 PSI is connected to a 

pressure regulator which reduces the 

pressure within the reservoir to any 

desired amount. This adjustable, reduced 

air pressure forces the liquid through 

piping to separate control valves for 

dispensing or spraying. Smooth control of 

liquid flow can be effected by pressure 

regulation and separate control valves, a 

desirable feature for conditions 

demanding fine adjustment. 

For best performance, a second 

regulator with suitable air capacity is 

supplied to adjust the air pressure to 

spray valves. Operation can be made 

automatic with two solenoid valves which 

can be activated by a motor drive or with 

a timer. This allows the valves to 

continually or momentarily apply a film of 

liquid. A relief valve makes operation 

safe.

AIR OPERATED SPRAY DISPENSERS 

permit fine or coarse spraying of liquids 

from any angle. The system consists 

principally of a central steel reservoir 

which dispenses liquid through one or 

more spray nozzles. 

This spray system can be used to 

apply liquid to conveyors, chain drives, 

bull gears, trolley wheel bearings, wire 

rope, strip stock for punch presses, or 

any other application requiring a film of 

liquid. The amount of liquid sprayed is 

infinitely adjustable from a fine spray, 

invisible to the eye, to a coarse spray, by 

adjusting the air and liquid pressure or 

the needle valve on the spray nozzle. Any 

liquid 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 


regulator which reduces the air pressure 

within the reservoir to a desired amount. 

This reduced air pressure forces liquid 

through tubing to individual or 

gang-mounted spray nozzles each 

having a precision needle valve 

adjustment. Smooth, hairline adjustments 

can be made and any setting retained. 

An additional regulator on the central 

reservoir for air pressure allows further 

control. Air filters are available as an 

option. Liquid filters and pressure relief 

valves are also provided. 

For automatic operation, solenoid 

shut-off valves are available. The 

solenoid valves permit continuous or 

momentary spray application of a liquid 

film. This is done by either wiring the 

solenoid valves across the line of a drive 

motor to turn on and off the system 

automatically with the drive or a timer can 

be used.

Deluxe Air Operated Dispenser 

DELUXE AIR OPERATED DISPENSERS 

offer a compact design, extreme 

reliability, with built in components. The 

air pressurized reservoir feeds liquid to 

elevated, distant, or inaccessible points. 

These systems are ideal for use on 

applications where gravity feeding is not 

suitable. This unit is exceptionally 

desirable for dusty and dirty 

surroundings, since the pressure within 

the reservoir prevents foreign matter from 

contaminating liquid or clogging valves. 

Operation is simple. A normal air line at 


pressure regulator which reduces the 

pressure within the steel reservoir to any 

desired amount. This adjustable reduced 

air pressure forces the liquid through 

piping to control valves for dispensing or 

spraying. Very fine adjustments of liquid 

flow can be achieved by air pressure 

regulation and control valves. 

For best performance, a second 

pressure regulator with suitable capacity 

is supplied for use on spray systems in 

order to precisely adjust the air volume to 

spray valves. Operation can be made 

automatic with the use of two solenoid 

valves. Stopping and starting is 

accomplished by wiring across a motor 

drive or by using a timer. A dump valve is 

provided to bleed the air from the 

reservoir before filling. A relief valve set 

for 30 PSI makes operation safe. 

The reservoir of either 2½ gal. or 5 gal. 

capacity is bolted to the lower base which 

houses all components with only flush 

mounted level gage and control handles 

exposed. Air filters and liquid filters can 

readily be serviced for cleaning. The 

dispenser can be either floor mounted or 

wall mounted. Wall mounting requires an 

optional wall bracket which can be 

provided. 

The steel dispenser is designed to 

serve as a central reservoir for lubricating 

systems. It is furnished with an oil filter, 

pressure regulator with gage, relief valve, 

liquid level gage, and a filler cap for 

replenishing the oil supply. 

These lubricators can be used to apply 

liquid to conveyors, chain drives, bull 

gears, trolley wheel bearings, wire rope, 

strip stock for punch presses, or any other 

application requiring a film or liquid. The 

amount of liquid sprayed is infinitely 


the eye, to a coarse spray by adjusting 

the air pressure or the needle valve on the 

spray nozzle. Any liquid that flows can be 

sprayed up to 1000 SSU viscosity at 100° 

F. The lighter the liquid, the easier it is to 

spray.

Spray Valves 

SPRAY VALVES have excellent, 

dependable performance in a compact 

design and are offered in flat or round 

spray patterns. The spray valves 

minimize objectional fogging. Any liquid 

that flows, up to a viscosity of 1000 SSU 

at 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, sheet 

stock, die casting molds --- applying 

liquid to food products, water to 

embossing rolls of paper machinery, etc. 

The amount of liquid sprayed is infinitely 


the eye, to a coarse spray to suit most 

applications. 

Spray valves are provided with a liquid 

inlet, ( 1 /8” female NPT). Each unit has an 

extra-fine needle valve to meter or shut 

off the flow of liquid with a knurled hand 

wheel. 

Spray valves with a larger orifice are 

also available for very heavy liquid, and 

for applications where large quantities 

are to be sprayed. Tamperproof construction 

is also available. Spray valves 

can be manifold mounted, if so desired.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR SPRAY VALVES 

1. All spray valves should be operated 

with air operated dispensers having 

dual-pressure control, one for liquid 

and one for air. For best performance, 

the liquid pressure should equal or 

exceed the air pressure. 

2. Use the needle valve for adjustment 

only. This adjustment is sensitive; as 

little as ¼ turn either way may give 

desired results. 

3. Both liquid and air nozzles are 

readily removable for cleaning. They 

are machined to close limits, and the 

slightest 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 stem 

against the seat and damage it. 

PREVENTION OF AFTER-DRIP 

1. To minimize drip after shut-off, an individual 

shut-off or check valve should 

be located in the liquid line close to 

the nozzle. 

2. Cycle liquid only and leave air on 

continuously. 

3. Leave air on longer than liquid to 

purge spray valve. 

4. Use piping as small as possible ( 1 /8 OD 

tube) for liquid leading to spray valves 

from solenoid valves. 

5. Locate solenoid valve as close as 

possible to spray valve. 

6. Make sure no air is in liquid line. This 

will act as an accumulator and force 

liquid through spray valves after 

solenoid valve is shut off. 

7. Hoses will also act as accumulator, 

expanding during pressure cycle and 

contracting during pressure off, 

thereby forcing excess liquid through 

spray 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 a 

result, two or more valves 

may be required to 

compensate for the smaller 

pattern. 

3. Air movement and air turbulence 

caused by the movement of the 

material being sprayed can deflect 

spray into the atmosphere. 

Remedy: Spray at an angle against 

material travel.Experiment 

to find best angle.

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 characteristics with low 

pressure drop. 

These units are principally used on gravity or 

pressure lubricating systems of larger machinery for 

lubrication where considerable capacities of oil must 

be dispensed. The rugged, sturdy construction makes 

them especially suitable for paper mill machinery, 

steel mills, rolling mills, sugar mills, steam and gas 

engines, gear units, etc. Their use can be extended to 

any application requiring adjustable, visible flow 

control. 

Large sight glass windows on both sides of the 

valve are properly gasketed to prevent leakage and 

permit an excellent observation of the liquid stream. 

The sights 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. 

The unique features of this valve is the porting 

arrangement, which allows the user to select several 

combinations of patterns to simplify field piping and 

installation.

flow to a complete shutoff. 

Precision flow control for fine 

metering of liquids. 

Large vented sight chambers are provided 

for easily observing the flow of liquid. 

SMALL SIGHT FEED VALVES control the volume of 

liquid being dispensed while permitting visual 

observation of liquid flow. The valves are primarily 

used on gravity or pressure lubricating systems for 

bearing lubrication on machinery. Their use can be 

extended to any application requiring adjustable, visible, 

flow control. They are equipped with needle valve 

control that regulates liquid flow from full flow to a 

complete shutoff. 

The valves are available with a conventional 

exposed adjustment, but can be provided with 

tamperproof construction. The construction is rugged 

and sturdy. The bodies are made of plated steel. The 

sight glass is firmly held between two seals, a solid 

one at the bottom and a split one on top for venting. 

The purpose of the vent is to eliminate any air block 

which might occur in some applications which 

develop a suction or back pressure. 

There are some applications under which vacuum 

or pressure must be maintained on the discharge side 

of a valve. For applications requiring air tight sight 

chambers, solid gaskets can be provided. 

Body machined from solid bar 

stock resulting in sturdy and 

compact designs.

MULTIPLE SIGHT FEED VALVES permit feeding of 

liquids to widely separated points, controlled and 

observed from one central location. They are suitable 

for gravity or pressure lubricating systems. These 

valves are used in a variety of industries: chemical, 

mining, paper, agricultural, marine, woodworking, 

textile, and can be used to lubricate typical equipment 

like pumps, compressors, machine tools, bearings, 

seals, punch presses and rollers. 

A revolutionary principle regarding the assembly of 

these valves has been incorporated. The customer, 

for the first time has the option of changing the unit in 

the field by merely stacking them together, eliminating 

the costly tie-rod and manifold method. 

Very compact, the multiple valves require only the 

minimum amount of space making the valves 

especially suitable for lubricating inaccessible places. 

Construction is extremely sturdy using a 5 /8" square 

aluminum alloy. “O” rings between the valves form a 

positive seal. The generous sight viewing glass is 

firmly held between two gaskets. Buna-N seals are 

furnished throughout and are suitable in operation for 

225° F. and 125 P.S.I. maximum. The valve assembly 

is provided with a single 1 /8 " female N.P.T. inlet, and 

the outlets are equipped with 1 /4 " O.D. tube fittings. 

The sight chamber of the valve is equipped with a 

vent. The purpose of this vent is to eliminate any air 

block which might occur in some applications which 

develop a suction or back pressure. 

Modification for special applications can also be 

furnished such as solenoid actuation, special gasket 

material and other materials.

Sight Feed Valves with Shutoffs 

ADJUSTABLE SIGHT FEED VALVES WITH TOGGLE 

SHUTOFF are widely used for gravity lubricating systems 

where small quantities of liquid are to be dropped in. Their use 

can be extended to applications requiring adjustable, visual, 

flow control. 

The needle valve permits fine adjustment over the entire 

range, from extremely low drop rate to a stream. The 

adjustments are retained by a friction lock. The toggle shuts off 

the flow completely, without interfering with the setting in any 

way. The sight chamber below the needle valve allows visual 

check of the feed rate and the venting of this chamber allows 

discharge by gravity.

ADJUSTABLE SIGHT FEED VALVES WITH SOLENOID 

SHUTOFF permit shutoff of drop feeding without disturbing 

the selected adjustable flow rate. A needle valve regulates 

liquid flow. Fine adjustments can be made and the sight 

chamber permits excellent observation of the liquid. The 

friction lock retains the setting. The solenoid is available in all 

voltages and frequencies and the coil is permanently molded 

into the housing, creating a very durable and water resistant 

construction. 

The sight chamber of the valve is equipped with a vent. For 

applications requiring air tight sight chambers, solid gaskets 

can be provided.

Constant Flow Control Valves & Solenoids 

Control Valves & Solenoids 

CONSTANT FLOW CONTROL VALVES have a fixed flow 

rate and can be equipped with orifices producing a specific 

flow rate ranging from 3 ounces per minute to 1 gallon per 

minute. The flow rate selected will remain constant within plus 

or minus 20% for 3 ounces 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. 

Flow control valves are used in low pressure lubricating 

systems. They do not require frequent adjustment usually 

needed on ordinary valves and are, therefore, especially 

suitable for use in automated plants, for elevated, distant, or 

hard 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. This 

allows a piston with a certain orifice to be exchanged with a 

different one for changing the flow rate if necessary. 


• Flow Rate Non Adjustable See Table 

• Pressure 15 P.S.I. Minimum 



• Oil Viscosity Between 400 SSU and 750 SSU 


• Piston Brass 


Piston increases or decreases the area of 

the outlet port of the cylinder, furnishing a 

constant flow rate under varying pressure.

applications requiring rapid, positive, open and closed action 

in locations where space is a premium, hard to reach, or in 

automated plants. It operates in any position and is furnished 

with ¼ pipe threads. The solenoid valve is normally closed. 

When current is applied to the solenoid, the valve port opens 

and it is automatically closed again when the current is 

shutoff. These valves are for continuous duty and flow cannot 

be 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 sturdy 

in construction, using aluminum alloy bodies and stainless 

steel plungers and springs. Buna-N seals are standard.

PRECISION RELIEF VALVES meet the industry’s 

requirements for more exacting and reliable performance. The 

relief valve has a fixed upper pressure rating which is held 

within close tolerances. In addition, relief pressures can be 

reduced and any setting locked. The setting for the upper limit 

is tamperproof and cannot be adjusted. 

These units are used as a safety device on reservoirs 

where a certain maximum pressure should not be exceeded, 

or for any other application demanding pressure to be relieved 

at a specific value. The valves are offered in relief pressure 

ratings of 30 PSI and 60 PSI maximum. They have a ¼ inch 

pipe thread. 

The function of this device is simple. A plunger equipped 

with an O-ring is seated against a port inside the valve body. 

A spring holds the plunger to its seat. An enclosure cap is 

screwed over the valve body which is used to adjust the valve 

for the upper pressure limit. A vent hole on the top of the cap 

allows 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. To 

use the relief valve for the maximum rated pressure, screw the 

top 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 lock 

the setting with the locknut.

Window Flow Sights 

WINDOW FLOW SIGHTS WITH RESTRICTED ORIFICE 

dispense liquid at a fixed flow rate which is determined by the 

orifice selected. 

The flow of liquid is downward through a nozzle in the 

transparent sight and can readily be observed. Pipe threads 

for inlet and outlet are provided. All units are normally 

furnished with a pressure tight sight. 

These flow sights have many applications. They provide a 

simple, tamperproof method of furnishing the desired amount 

of lubrication for bearings without the use of control valves. 

The sights can be used as components in lubricating systems 

and in a multitude of applications involving fluid transfer. 

The construction is rigid. Bodies are machined from steel 

bar stock, and are plated. Buna-N seals are used. Inlet and 

outlet are offered in 1 /8” or 1 /4” female pipe threads. The sights 

are glass. There are four standard orifices available, ranging 

from 1 /32” to 1 /8” in diameter. Special orifices are available on 

request.

WINDOW FLOW SIGHTS FOR FULL FLOW offer no 

restrictions to the flow, permitting liquid to flow freely. The flow 

of liquid and its clarity can be visually observed through the 

sights. The units have an airtight sight chamber. 

The Window Sights are primarily used in low pressure oil 

lines. There are no restrictions on the inside, therefore, no 

pressure drop, resulting in the full flow of liquid equal to 

respective pipe size. They can be installed in any position, 

either horizontally, vertically, or at an angle, and are offered in 

various pipe sizes. 

Construction is simple and sturdy. Body is made from bar 

stock and is steel, plated. The sight is glass with Buna-N 

seals. Maximum recommended pressure is 125 P.S.I., and 

maximum 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 on 

request.

Full Vision Flow & Over Flow Sights 

FULL VISION FLOW SIGHTS WITH RESTRICTED ORIFICE are used in oil 

lines to check the flow of oil and its clarity by visual observation. The large size 

and construction permits maximum visibility and dependable inspection of 

liquid flow from a distance. They are often used at elevated heights to tell at 

a glance whether oil is circulating. 

The flow of liquid is downward through a nozzle in the sight. All units are 

furnished with a removable vent plug. The sight chamber is normally vented 

when flow is discharged by gravity and closed when flow is discharged by low 

pressure.

Restricted orifices and large sight offer a simple, 

effective, tamperproof method for dispensing liquids 

at a specific flow rate. 

OVER FLOW SIGHTS are used in oil lines of 

circulating systems to maintain a constant 

visible liquid level. In addition, they permit 

checking of the liquid flow and clarity of liquid 

at a glance. Used mainly on large ring oil or 

reservoir type bearings of steam turbines or 

gear boxes, they can be used on many other 

applications. 

The construction is lightweight with 

aluminum alloy bodies and acrylic sight 

chambers withstanding temperatures up to 

160° F. Pyrex sights are available on request 

which withstand up to 225° F. Bolts and 

standpipe are steel, plated. Buna-N seals are 

standard. The unit is very rigid, but can be 

disassembled for cleaning if required.

UNION COUPLING GAGES are made for applications 

requiring horizontal inlets and where clearance from 

obstructions do not permit rotating the gage for mounting. 

STRAIGHT LEVEL GAGES are made for applications 

requiring vertical inlet and permit direct mounting for quick 

response of fluid level. 

These gages are made of tough, plated steel bodies which 

allow visual observation of liquid level and liquid clarity. 

The glass sights are compatible with many chemicals, and 

they will retain their clarity through various temperature 

changes. The tough steel channel gage will protect against 

glass breakage.

PROTECTED VENT — The vent hole in cap 

allows air to communicate with the atmosphere 

and also minimizes the possibility of 

dust, dirt or moisture getting inside the gage. 

LEAKPROOF CONSTRUCTION — The 

glass sight is mounted between an oil-resistant 

seal of long-life Buna-N and a Teflon ® 

glass protector. 

REVOLVABLE SHIELDS — By loosening 

the cap, the shield can be revolved into the 

most convenient position for viewing or taken 

off completely for cleaning. 

QUICK RESPONSE — Large vent hole and 

unrestricted passages permit fast, accurate 

liquid level response to level change in main 

reservoir. 

BENEFITS — To visibly indicate liquid supply 

level on machinery lubrication and liquid 

storage systems. Brass gages resist rust and 

corrosion. 

Optional Caps 

Style OGG 





location having enough clearance for a one-piece liquid 

level gage. Gages can be disassembled for installation in 

very tight places. 

SIMPLE INSTALLATION — Square shank, with pipe 

thread, screws horizontally or vertically into tapped hole. 

Options are available for difficult or irregular mountings. 

QUALITY-BUILT — Shank body, cylindrical brass shield 

and cap are machined to close tolerances. Sights are 

clear, sturdy gage glass. For a leak tight seal, a Buna-N 

seal and a Teflon ® glass protector are furnished. Other 

commercial seal materials are available on request. 

MODIFICATIONS AVAILABLE — If desired, these elbow 

liquid level gages can be supplied with High or Low labels 

or level marks. In addition to the standard line, many 

special gages, similar to the ones described here, have 

been developed for customer’s specific applications. 

Should you have special requirements, our engineering 

service is available without obligation.

Level Gages...Brass - Elbow & Union Coupling 

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. 

UNION COUPLING BRASS GAGES are for 

applications requiring horizontal inlets. They are used in 

areas where clearance from obstructions do not permit 

rotating the gage for assembly. 

The brass level gages for visibly indicating liquid 

levels are rugged, machined from brass stock and have 

glass sights which are protected by revolvable shields. 

A protected vent hole in the cap reduces the possibility 

of dust, dirt or moisture getting inside the gage.

Level Gages...Brass - Elbow & Straight 

ELBOW BRASS GAGES WITH FEMALE INLET are 

primarily used for applications requiring horizontal inlets and 

where a normal pipe nipple is used to extend the gage from 

the application due to clearance of mounting bolts or other 

irregularities. 

STRAIGHT BRASS GAGES with shielded sight are for 

applications requiring vertical inlet and permit direct mounting 

for rapid transfer of fluid. 

The brass gages are rugged, machined from brass stock 

and the sight is protected by a revolvable shield. A protected 

vent hole in the cap reduces the possibility of dust, dirt or 

moisture getting inside the gage.

Level Gage...Flush Aluminum 

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 against 

the outside surface of a reservoir with only a small amount 

of 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 is 

desirable to indicate fluid levels. 

These level gages are used to determine the liquid level 

inside a metal reservoir by visual observation of the level in 

a transparent sight. The clarity and condition of the liquid 

can also be checked. Models with a thermometer will show 

the temperature of the liquid as well. 

Extremely sturdy and rigid, these gages come with glass 

sights mounted inside the steel channel shield to provide 

maximum protection against breakage. Visibility of the 

liquid level is excellent through the large sight opening. A 

reflector enhances the visibility of the liquid level. Liquid 

level markings can be added on request. 

Back mounting gages are used on tanks permitting 

access to the inside, in order to fasten the nuts on the 

mounting studs inserted in drilled holes in reservoirs. Front 

mounting gages are used on reservoirs which do NOT 

permit access to the inside, therefore, the tanks must have 

two tapped holes, ½-20, to receive the mounting studs, 

which are fastened from the outside.

BROAD FACE NYLON LEVEL GAGES are used for 

distant viewing of the level and clarity of the liquid. These 

tough, rugged gages are offered for flush mounting only, in 

heights up to 36 inches. 

This gage is used on tanks, reservoirs, packaged hydraulic 

units, and in many other applications where it is necessary to 

check liquid levels for the protection of costly equipment. 

The unit consists of an almost unbreakable plastic sight, 

compatible with most oils and holds a 1½ inch wide column 

of liquid. It is held between top and bottom enclosures with 

two internal tie rods which compress the necessary seals. 

High and Low level marking are internally mounted across 

the tie rods. 

Red line tape for increasing visibility of the liquid. Hollow 

mounting bolts provide large passages for liquid to enter the 

gage and to vent displaced air back into the tank, effecting 

quick level response. 

Back mounting gages are used on tanks permitting access 

to the inside in order to fasten the nuts on the mounting 

studs, inserted in drilled holes in reservoirs. Front mounting 

gages are used on reservoirs which do NOT permit access to

Window Sights 

GASKETED WINDOW SIGHTS have sights that are placed 

between two seals within the sight bodies, providing a leak 

tight seal. 

These window sights are used for fluid sighting on hydraulic 

tanks, pressure vessels, reservoirs, packaged power 

equipment, hydraulic lines and piping or most any application 

where oil or fluid inspection is essential. 

An exclusive feature of these units is the new stainless steel 

reflector which maximizes visibility in poor light. The reflector 

will not tarnish, corrode or discolor under the most adverse 

conditions. 

These sights are principally used to visually indicate liquid 

levels, observing liquid condition, fluid motion, mechanical 

movements, or tests performed with a safe enclosure. Two or 

more sights can be mounted so as to indicate High-Low or 

in-between levels.

Single Stage Liquid Level Switches 

SIngle Stage Liquid Level Switch 

SINGLE STAGE LIQUID LEVEL SWITCHES are designed to shut down 

machinery or turn on warning devices when the liquid supply fails or recedes to a 

predetermined level. This is especially important in automated plants which 

demand 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 oil 

reservoirs on screw machines, along with many other applications. They can be 

wired to flash a warning light, sound a howler, shut down a machine, or signal a 

computer. 

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 a 

reed 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 protection 

against shock and moisture. This reed switch assembly is screwed into the lower 

end of the liquid control switch and can be removed without draining the float 

chamber. An Oil-Rite relay is recommended.

Single Stage cont. 

SINGLE STAGE 

When the liquid level in the tank is above a predetermined 

level, the white light is on indicating an adequate liquid supply. 

When the liquid level falls below this predetermined level, the 

magnet in the float actuates the reed switch, which in turn 

signals the control relay. The control relay then turns off the 

white light and turns on the red light and horn to indicate a low 

liquid supply level. This DPDT switch arrangement also allows 

for auxiliary contacts so other indication or switching may be 

initiated at the low level signal. 

TWO STAGE ACTUATION USING TWO SINGLE STAGE 

SWITCHES 

Two single stage switches can be used for hi-low actuation 

when the actuation levels required are further apart than on 

the two stage level switch. When the liquid in the dispenser 

falls to a predetermined low level, a magnet in the lower float 

actuates a reed switch, which in turn actuates the control 

relay. This control relay turns on the white light and opens the 

solenoid valve, allowing liquid from the supply tank to refill the 

dispenser. When the liquid level in the dispenser rises to a 

predetermined high level, the magnet in higher float actuates 

a reed switch, which in turn actuates the control relay. This 

control relay turns on a green light and closes the solenoid 

valve thus stopping the flow of the liquid from the supply tank 

to the dispenser. 

SIngle and Two Stage Actuation 

ONE STAGE RELAY 

Closing circuit (a) energizes coil (c) of relay which triggers and

TWO STAGE RELAY 

Closing circuit (a) with circuit (b) open energizes relay coil (c) 

which triggers and holds contacts (e) in position (x). Only a 

momentary closing of circuit (c) is necessary to attain position 

(x). Closing circuit (b) with circuit (a) open energizes coil (d) of 

relay which triggers and holds contacts (e) in position (y). Only 

a momentary closing of circuit (d) is necessary to attain position 

(y). The 4 P.D.T. contacts can be used to open or close 

separate individual circuits.

When Ordering Relay Specify: 



INSTALLATION 

1. Mount switch with suitable brackets or connectors to suit 

the application. 

2. Be sure to locate switch at correct height for proper 

functioning and switch actuation. The relation of the liquid 

to the lower liquid inlet is shown on the respective drawing. 

3. Mount switch upright, within 10° of vertical, to minimize 

friction of float on central pipe. 

4. Wire switch according to basic wiring diagram. An 

optional conduit box, designed for these switches, can be 

attached to the switch. 

5. Use the switch with the suggested control relay for best 

performance and long life. If the switch is used without the 

suggested Oil-Rite relay, be sure to keep the switch load 

within 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, loose 

bolts or nuts, buoyancy of float, loose wire connections, 

etc. 

3. Actuate reed switch by lowering and raising float. If this is 

not possible, remove the reed switch assembly with a 

screwdriver through the lower end of the central pipe and 

check reed switch with a small magnet. The reed switch 

can be removed without disturbing the liquid. 

4. In the event of a reed switch failure, replace the entire reed 

switch assembly, as all reed switches are permanently 

sealed in tubing for shock and moisture protection. 

5. Check relay functioning and contacts.

VENT PLUGS WITH FILTER AND DEFLECTORS can be 

used to relieve pressure or vacuum on bearing housings, gear 

boxes, reservoirs, or any application where venting is 

necessary. These vent plugs assure pressure equalization 

and minimize undesirable problems, such as bearing seal 

blowout due to excessive pressure. 

The vent plugs allow air to freely communicate through a 40 

micron filter. The filter is easy to clean — just unscrew the hex 

cap on top, remove filter element, clean, and reassemble. 

They are also equipped with a splash deflector which 

prevents the liquid from spilling into the vent hole and outside.

LIQUID FILTERS principle use is for small individual 

components such as Sight Feed Valves, Spray Valves, Oil 

Cups, etc. where it is desirable to use one filter with each 

component. 

The 40 micron filter element can be easily removed for 

occasional cleaning or for the replacement of the element 

itself. 

An idea of the capacity of the filter can be visualized from a 

test of 750 SSU liquid at 70° F. gravity feed with a 6 inch head. 

This resulted in a flow of ½ ounce per minute. The maximum 

pressure of the unit should not exceed 125 PSI.
