Overview
The Parker 06L12BE is a compact Prep-Air II mist lubricator designed for industrial pneumatic systems. This compact mist lubricator injects a mist of oil into the flowing air stream to automatically provide the correct amount of internal lubrication for air tools and other pneumatic devices. With 1/4″ NPT ports and a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI, the 06L12BE is ideal for low- to mid-flow applications where consistent lubrication is critical for tool longevity.
Key Features
- Proportional oil delivery across a wide range of air flows
- Generates fine oil particles (5 micron or smaller) for effective lubrication in complex piping arrangements
- Precision needle valve for repeatable, adjustable oil delivery
- Polycarbonate bowl with metal guard for durability and visibility
- Compact design suitable for inline installation
- Integral 1/4″ NPT ports for direct connection
