Parker 17L42BE Air Lubricator 90 Cfm 3/4 Inch Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 17L42BE is a standard compressed air lubricator designed to deliver controlled oil mist lubrication to pneumatic tools, valves, cylinders, and air-driven equipment in compressed air systems. Part of the Parker 17L Series, this unit features a zinc body and a polycarbonate bowl with metal bowl guard, handling up to 90 CFM of airflow through a 3/4 inch NPT port. The nitrile seals provide reliable performance across a range of temperatures starting at 32 degrees F. Modular connection support makes it straightforward to integrate into filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) assemblies. A built-in sight glass allows quick visual confirmation of oil level and mist output during service.

This lubricator is suited for industrial and commercial pneumatic systems where consistent downstream lubrication is required. It is commonly installed on air supply lines feeding pneumatic actuators, air motors, impact tools, and control valves in manufacturing, maintenance, and process environments. The 3/4 inch NPT end connections are compatible with standard threaded pipe fittings used across trade applications. The modular design supports inline assembly with Parker 17L Series filter and regulator bodies, making it a practical choice for technicians building or servicing FRL units.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Parker 17L Series modular FRL systems. Accepts standard 3/4 inch NPT threaded connections for inline installation in compressed air distribution lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before connecting or servicing this lubricator. Use thread sealant rated for compressed air service on all NPT connections and verify all fittings are fully seated before re-pressurizing the system. Fill the bowl only with pneumatic tool oil or lubricant specified for air line service; do not use petroleum-based oils incompatible with nitrile seals or polycarbonate bowls.
