Trico DSM-0M Lubrication System Meter Unit M8x1.0

Product Description

The TRICO DSM-0M is a meter unit designed for central lubrication systems. It features M8x1.0 metric thread connections on both ports, allowing it to integrate directly into cyclic lubrication circuits. The unit controls lubricant metering at individual lubrication points, ensuring consistent, measured delivery during each pump cycle. At 0.03 pounds, it is a compact component suited for installation in tight or multi-point manifold configurations. Licensed lubrication system technicians and industrial maintenance mechanics typically specify and install this type of metering unit.

The DSM-0M is intended for use in central lubrication systems where precise lubricant distribution is required across multiple service points. It is compatible with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps, making it applicable across a wide range of automated and hand-operated lubrication setups. Typical installations include machinery, equipment frames, and vehicle chassis fitted with centralized grease or oil lubrication networks using metric-threaded fittings.

Key Features

• M8x1.0 metric thread on both connection ports for direct in-line installation
• Compatible with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps
• Designed for central lubrication system metering applications
• Lightweight construction at 0.03 pounds for use in compact or multi-unit arrays
• Metric thread standard for compatibility with metric-spec lubrication hardware

Compatibility

Compatible with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps used in central lubrication systems with M8x1.0 metric-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance mechanics or lubrication system technicians. Before servicing any lubrication system component, relieve system pressure and power down any electric pump to prevent unintended lubricant discharge. Use appropriate metric wrenches to avoid overtightening the M8x1.0 threaded connections. Verify all fittings are leak-free before returning the system to service.
