Overview
The Arrow Pneumatics L182 is a miniature inline lubricator designed for low-flow pneumatic applications in compact air tool systems. This model delivers precision oil mist lubrication to pneumatic components, ensuring proper operation and extended service life of air-powered equipment. The L182 operates at a maximum pressure of 150 PSI and handles air flow up to 16 SCFM, making it ideal for small-displacement tools and low-demand pneumatic circuits.
Key Features
- 1/4″ NPT port connections for standard inline installation
- 1 oz polycarbonate reservoir bowl for easy oil level visibility and refilling
- Fine adjustment screw for precise control of oil mist delivery rate
- Automatic flow compensation—adjusts oil mist delivery with variations in air flow
- Low-flow operation requires only 0.1 CFM air consumption from the lubrication system
- Black E-coated aluminum body for corrosion resistance and durability
- Temperature range: 40°F to 160°F operating window
