Parker 17L32BE Compressed Air Lubricator 90 Cfm 1/2 Inch Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 17L32BE is a standard compressed air lubricator designed to deliver controlled oil mist lubrication to pneumatic tools, cylinders, valves, and air-driven equipment in compressed air lines. Part of the Parker 17L Series, this unit handles up to 90 CFM of airflow through a 1/2 inch NPT port, making it a practical fit for mid-sized pneumatic systems in industrial, commercial, and mechanical service environments. The zinc body provides durable corrosion resistance, while the polycarbonate bowl with metal bowl guard allows visual monitoring of oil level during operation. A built-in sight glass and micro mist functionality give technicians direct feedback and fine lubrication control without interrupting system operation.

The 17L32BE is suited for use in compressed air distribution systems where downstream pneumatic components require continuous or metered lubrication. Typical installations include manufacturing lines, maintenance shops, HVAC control air systems, and general industrial pneumatic circuits. It is compatible with modular FRL (filter-regulator-lubricator) configurations, allowing inline assembly with matching Parker 17L Series filter and regulator components. The unit is rated for a minimum working temperature of 32 degrees F, so installations in unheated spaces near or below freezing require attention to system design.

Key Features

• 90 CFM airflow capacity through a 1/2 inch NPT port suits mid-range pneumatic system demands
• Micro mist lubrication delivers fine, consistent oil dispersion to downstream components
• Zinc body construction resists corrosion in demanding shop and industrial environments
• Polycarbonate bowl with metal bowl guard allows safe visual inspection of oil level
• Integrated sight glass provides at-a-glance confirmation of oil flow during operation
• Modular connection design supports inline assembly with compatible 17L Series FRL components
• Nitrile seals provide reliable performance across typical compressed air service conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use in Parker 17L Series modular FRL configurations with 1/2 inch NPT end connections. Compatible with standard compressed air systems requiring inline lubrication at up to 90 CFM.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed industrial mechanic, pipefitter, or qualified pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air line before installing or servicing this lubricator. Ensure flow direction matches the arrow marked on the body, and verify all NPT threaded connections are properly sealed with thread sealant rated for compressed air service. Do not exceed the rated CFM or minimum temperature limits for the unit.
