Elastomers: Neoprene and nitrile
ASSEMBLY
1. Lubricate o-rings with o-ring grease.
2 If the 1/4 turn manual drain (30, 31, 32 ) was removed,
lubricate the portion of the drain body (30) that contacts
the bowl, and the hole in the manual drain body that
accommodates the stem of drain valve (31) with o-ring
grease. Press body (30) thru hole from inside of bowl.
Place retainer o-ring (32) over body (30) and position in
groove. Press drain valve (31) thru hole in body (30).
3. Assemble the liquid indicator parts (33 thru 38) to bowl.
Apply a 0,9 to 1,8 kg (2 to 4 pound) clamping force to
upper and lower brackets (34) to pull brackets together.
Tighten screws (33) to 0,9 to 1,1 N-m (8 to 10 inchpounds).
4. Assemble lubricator as shown on exploded view. Pay
particular attention to the following:
● Apply increasing torque to the six reservoir adapter
screws (3) in a crisscross pattern. Apply final torque of
2,26 to 3,39 N-m (20 to 30 inch-pounds).
● Turn bowl (40) into adapter (28) until arrowhead on
bowl is aligned with or to the right of slot in adapter.

* Current 1-quart reservoir models (Model 15-002-507)
use liquid level lens kit 2273-22. Early 1-quart reservoir
models (Model 15-002-007) are identical in appearance
to the 2-quart reservoir and use liquid level lens kit
2272-02.
WARNING
These products are intended for use in industrial
compressed air systems only. Do not use these products
where pressures and temperatures can exceed those listed
under Technical Data.
In lubrication applications some oil mist may escape
from the point of use to the surrounding atmosphere.
Users are referred to safety and health standards for
limiting oil mist contamination and utilization of protecting
equipment
Before using these products with fluids other than air,
for nonindustrial applications, or for life-support systems
consult Norgren.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Shut off inlet pressure. Reduce pressure in inlet and
outlet lines to zero. Loosen fill plug (1). Lubricator may
be disassembled without removal from the air line.
2. Remove reservoir:
1-Quart Reservoir: Turn reservoir (40)
counterclockwise and remove from adapter (28).
All Other Reservoirs: Remove screws (3) and separate
reservoir from body.
3. Disassemble in general accordance with the item
numbers on exploded view. Unscrew siphon tube (6)
from head (5). Do not remove siphon tube from fitting.
Do not remove drain (30, 31, 32) unless replacement is
necessary. Remove and replace only if it malfunctions.
4. Disassembly of the reservoirs is not normally required.

INSTALLATION
1. Shut-off air pressure. Support weight of lubricator with 2
and 5 gallon reservoirs on shelf, floor, etc. Install
lubricator in air line ● vertically (reservoir down),
● with air flow in direction of arrow on head,
● downstream of filters and regulators,
● upstream of cycling valves,
● as close as possible to the device being lubricated.
2. Connect piping to proper ports using pipe thread sealant
on male threads only. Do not allow sealant to enter
interior of unit.
FILL RESERVOIR
Shut off inlet air pressure and reduce pressure in reservoir
to zero. Remove fill plug, add oil, and reinstall fill plug. Oil
level must always be visible in liquid level lens on metal
reservoir. DO NOT OVERFILL. Do not remove the fill plug
when the reservoir is pressurized, as oil will blow out the
fill plug hole.
