Trico DCM-4M Lubrication System Meter Unit M8x1.0

Product Description

The TRICO DCM-4M is a meter unit designed for central lubrication systems. It threads in at M8x1.0 on one end and 1/8 inch BSPT on the other, allowing it to meter and distribute lubricant at a controlled rate within a cyclic lubrication circuit. This unit is installed by maintenance technicians and lubrication specialists working on industrial and commercial machinery. At just 0.03 pounds, it is a compact component that fits into tight lube-line configurations without adding bulk to the assembly.

The DCM-4M fits into central lubrication systems that operate on a cyclic delivery cycle. It is suitable for use with both electric-driven and manual pump configurations, making it a versatile choice across a range of machine lubrication setups. Typical applications include automated lube lines on production equipment, machine tools, and similar industrial machinery where consistent, metered lubricant delivery is critical to bearing and component life.

Key Features

• M8x1.0 male thread on one end for direct mounting into lube system ports
• 1/8 inch BSPT thread connection for compatibility with standard British pipe fittings
• Meters lubricant delivery in cyclic lubrication circuits
• Compatible with both electric and manual cyclic pump systems
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for installation in compact or space-constrained lube manifolds

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified maintenance technician or lubrication system specialist. Before servicing any lubrication line, relieve system pressure and shut down the associated pump to prevent unintended lubricant discharge. Use appropriate thread sealant compatible with the lubricant being used, and do not overtighten the threaded connections to avoid damaging the meter unit body or mating ports.
