Trico DCM-1 Central Lubrication Meter Unit 5/16-24 X 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The TRICO DCM-1 is a meter unit designed for central lubrication systems. It controls the measured delivery of lubricant from a central pump to individual lube points throughout a machine or piece of equipment. The unit features a 5/16-24 inch primary thread connection and a 1/8 inch NPT secondary connection. It is compatible with both electric and manual cyclic pumps, making it a flexible component for a range of lubrication circuit configurations. Maintenance technicians and industrial mechanics install this type of metering unit as part of planned lubrication system builds or service replacements.

The DCM-1 is intended for use in central lubrication system applications across industrial and mechanical environments. It functions within cyclic system designs where a central pump distributes lubricant on timed or manual cycles to multiple lube points. The NPT thread standard on the secondary connection allows integration with standard pipe fittings commonly found in industrial fluid systems. This unit suits both new system installations and replacement of worn or failed meter units in existing setups.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 inch primary thread connection for direct pump or manifold mounting
• 1/8 inch NPT secondary thread connection for standard pipe fitting integration
• Compatible with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps
• Designed for central lubrication system metering applications
• Compact and lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps in central lubrication system applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of lubrication meter units is typically performed by maintenance mechanics or industrial technicians. De-energize and depressurize the lubrication system before removing or installing any metering components. Ensure thread connections are clean and properly engaged before applying system pressure. Follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines and applicable facility maintenance standards during installation.
