Safety Cans

Also known as Type I safety cans, these have a single opening for both filling and pouring. Safety cans are a safer choice than fuel cans for storing flammable liquids. They have a spring-loaded, self-closing lid; pressure-relief cap; and a flame arrester.

Powder-coated steel cans are for petroleum-based liquids. Color-coding typically indicates usage: red for gasoline, yellow for diesel, blue for kerosene, and green for other liquids.

Droplet Coolant Dispensers

Deliver a small, controlled amount of coolant to a workpiece. Turn the knobs to set the air flow and the number of droplets per minute for each coolant stream. Dispenser has two any-which-way nozzles that stay in place once positioned. Each nozzle has a magnetic base.

Note: Dispenser is only for use with synthetic- and vegetable-based coolants (sold separately).

Mounting kit (sold separately) is magnetic, so it’s easy to move the system from one machine to another.

Oil Reservoirs

140Â° F Max. Temp.

225Â° F Max. Temp.

Mount these reservoirs directly to your machine, or use them with a flow-adjustment valve and brush (each sold separately) to create a dispenser.

Reservoirs with 140° F max. temp. have NPTF (Dryseal) threads, which are compatible with NPT threads. Flow rate depends on temperature.

Reservoirs with removable filter prevent valve blockage.

Vented-System Constant-Level Oil Reservoirs

For use in clean environments, these oil reservoirs have multiple air vents that keep pressure balanced. They maintain a constant level of oil in bearing housings, gear boxes, and similar closed machinery. When oil falls below the set level, these reservoirs automatically replenish the supply. They have oil outlets on the side and bottom for flexibility in installation. For applications that require adjustable flow control, pair with a flow-adjustment valve (sold separately).

Sealed-System Constant-Level Oil Reservoirs

A sealed design prevents contamination in dirty and dusty environments. Install a line between the reservoir's pressure port and the lubricated equipment to balance pressure. Designed to maintain a constant level of oil in bearing housings, gear boxes, and similar closed machinery, when oil falls below the set level, these reservoirs automatically replenish the supply. They have oil outlets on the side and bottom for flexibility in installation. For applications that require adjustable flow control, pair with a flow-adjustment valve (sold separately).

Serve multiple lubrication points from a single location. These dispensers have a solenoid that automatically starts and stops flow so lubrication is dispensed only while equipment is running. When wired to a machine’s on/off switch, the solenoid remains closed until the machine is turned on. To adjust the flow to individual lubrication points, turn the dial on the corresponding valve. Dispensers can be used with any oil grade. Flow rate depends on temperature.
