Trico 36217 Swivel Adapter Pilot Tube Oil Sample Port

Product Description

The TRICO 36217 is a swivel adapter pilot tube oil sample port designed for use in lubrication and oil sampling systems. It features a 12-inch stainless steel tube paired with a carbon steel port body and a 1/4-inch MNPT thread connection. The swivel adapter design allows for flexible positioning during sampling without disturbing the surrounding plumbing. Rated to a maximum operating pressure of 34.5 bar, this fitting is built for demanding industrial lubrication monitoring applications. Installation and sampling tasks are typically performed by maintenance technicians and millwrights working on rotating equipment lubrication systems.

This oil sample port is suited for use in industrial and commercial lubrication systems where consistent, representative oil samples are required for condition monitoring programs. The 12-inch stainless steel tube length allows access to mid-stream flow for accurate sampling. The MNPT thread makes it compatible with standard pipe fittings commonly found in machinery lubrication circuits. It is appropriate for applications requiring operation across a wide temperature range of -4 degrees F to 392 degrees F.

Key Features

• Swivel adapter design allows flexible tube positioning during oil sampling
• 12-inch stainless steel tube provides mid-stream sample access
• Carbon steel port body with 1/4-inch MNPT thread for standard pipe compatibility
• Maximum operating pressure of 34.5 bar for demanding lubrication system environments
• Wide operating temperature range of -4 degrees F to 392 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for industrial lubrication oil sampling systems using standard 1/4-inch MNPT threaded pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or millwrights on rotating equipment and lubrication systems. De-energize and depressurize the system before installing or replacing the sample port. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for petroleum-based fluids on all MNPT connections. Ensure the swivel is positioned to allow safe, unobstructed access for sampling valves or syringes during routine oil analysis.
