 Opto-Matic®
Constant Level Oilers
Opto-Matic
Oilers provide a constant level of oil in a pump bearing
housing, gear box, or other wet sump application. The
Opto-Matic is the standard throughout processing industries.
Stainless steel models provide long life in corrosive
environments for the chemical, pulp and paper and mining
industries.
| • |
One-piece
glass reservoir ensures proper constant level function;
there is no possibility of air leakage that would
cause overfilling of the bearing housing |
| • |
Adjustable
level setting allows use in many applications |
| • |
Multiple
air vent slots provide for proper functioning at
all times |
| • |
Large
surge chamber models help prevent oil overflow during
machine start-up and shut-down |
| • |
Side
and bottom connections for simplified installation |
| • |
BSPT
connection ports available |
|

Opto-Matic®
Closed System Oilers
The Closed
System Oiler is designed for all types of rotating equipment
where a constant level must be maintained in a bearing
housing. The closed system design prevents contamination
and spillage, while the adjustable collar allows the oil
level to be externally adjusted to the desired level. |
|
 Watchdog®
Oilers
The
Watchdog Closed System Oiler is designed for bearing
housings, gear boxes and other wet sump applications,
and is ideal for use in the chemical processing, utility
and pulp and paper industries. The Watchdog's viewport
eliminates the need for separate ways of monitoring
lubrication levels and replacing oil. Mounted on the
centerline of the desired oil level, these constant
level oilers do not require any adjustment or level
setting.
| • |
Closed
system design prevents contamination and spillage |
| • |
Simplified
installation with no vent line to pump bearing housing
required |
| • |
2
oz. or 4 oz. reservoirs provide oil make-up |
| • |
Integral
viewport eliminates the need for separate installation |
| • |
Three
styles to choose from: an engineered thermoplastic
body and reservoir, an aluminum body with glass
reservoir and an aluminum body with thermoplastic
reservoir |

LCL
Oilers
LCL
Large-capacity Oilers provide a constant level
of oil in a pump bearing housing, gear box, or
other wet sump application. They operate on the
same principle as the Opto-Matic Oilers and are
used in applications requiring a large reservoir
capacity. In isolated areas where refilling is
a problem, LCL Oilers can save time and maintenance
costs.
| • |
Large
capacity glass or acrylic reservoir to 2-1/2
quarts; acrylic reservoir to 1 gallon |
| • |
Side
connection of 1/2 NPT makes for durable and
rigid installation |
| • |
Oil
level setting may be raised by sawing or filing
the beveled spout to desired height |

 Expansion
Chambers
Trico Expansion
Chambers are designed to absorb the expansion of gases
or fluids in closed systems. A rolling diaphragm provides
a variable volume that, when properly sized, maintains
chamber pressure at or near zero PSI. This reduced pressure
build-up will extend seal life and help prevent leakage.
Expansion chambers also protect the integrity of closed
systems by eliminating the exchange of air from the chamber
to the surrounding atmosphere. A choice of thread sizes
and capacities offers flexibility to the user. |

Watchdog®
Air Dryers
The
Watchdog Air Dryer is a passive drying system designed
for bearing housings and other applications where moisture
condensation must be minimized. Relative humidities
are substantially reduced in most applications. Standby
equipment can be protected from internal moisture damage
when the Watchdog Air Dryer is installed.
| • |
1"
NPT port for easy installation in ANSI and API pumps |
| • |
Desiccant
cartridges change color to indicate when replacement
is required; replacement takes less than one minute |
| • |
Engineered
thermoplastic provides high temperature rating and
excellent corrosion resistance |
| • |
Serves
as both a viewport and an air dryer |
|
|

AD-250
Air Drying System
When
a positive air pressure purge is desired for a pump
bearing housing, this system can save you money
and increase bearing life. Instead of using expensive
argon or nitrogen gas, the -40° dewpoint of
the Air Dryer allows use of ordinary compressed
air to prevent damaging water moisture from entering
the bearing housing. The AD-250's unique design
dries the air at a high pressure and uses a downstream
regulator to provide the correct pressure in the
bearing housing and extend cartridge life. |

|
Viewports
Viewports
are now available for a variety of applications, with
44 models to choose from. To resist corrosion, these viewports
are offered in zinc-plated steel or brass bodies. The
lenses can be removed in the field for cleaning, so you
do not have to purchase and install a new viewport. Both
NPT and BSPT thread sizes are available; lenses are available
in 3-D plastic and flat glass styles. |
|
Breather
Vents
Trico Breather Vents are specifically designed for
centrifugal pumps, or other applications requiring an
exact exchange of air. With a choice of 6 thread sizes,
these vents adapt to a wide range of equipment. |
|
Sump
Bottles
Sump Bottles are used as collection chambers on bearing
housings and other wet sump applications. They collect
water and contaminates, and have a drain plug for easy
inspection and removal of fluids. |
