TRICO 30078 Constant Level Oiler, Type EH, 8 oz. Capacity, 2-5/8 Inch Size, Plastic Reservoir

Working Mechanism:

• After this Opto-Matic oiler has been installed properly, the unit constantly maintains the oil at a certain limit.
• When the oil level in the system drops below the certain point, the liquid seal on the unit's reservoir spout breaks and allows air to enter through the air vent into the oil reservoir. It allows the oil to flow from the reservoir into the equipment and maintain the required lubrication.
• The liquid seal reestablishes itself after the depleted oil self-levels according to this constant level oiler.
