Trico DSM-1M Lubrication System Meter Unit M8x1.0

Product Description

The TRICO DSM-1M is a metering unit designed for central lubrication systems. It controls the distribution of lubricant to individual lube points within a cyclic lubrication circuit, ensuring each point receives a consistent, measured dose. The unit uses metric M8x1.0 threading on both connection ends, making it a straightforward fit into metric-threaded lubrication line assemblies. At 0.03 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component. Installation is handled by lubrication system technicians or maintenance mechanics working on automated or manual lube systems in industrial, fleet, or heavy equipment applications.

The DSM-1M is intended for use in central lubrication systems that operate on a cyclic basis, including both electric pump-driven and manual pump-driven circuits. These systems are commonly found on construction equipment, agricultural machinery, manufacturing lines, and commercial vehicles where multiple grease or oil points must be serviced from a single pump source. The meter unit threads directly into the distribution block or supply line, requiring no special adapters when working with standard M8x1.0 metric fittings.

Key Features

• M8x1.0 metric thread on both connection ends for direct inline installation
• Compatible with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps
• Compact and lightweight at 0.03 pounds
• Designed for central lubrication system metering applications
• Metric thread standard suits equipment with metric-spec lubrication fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps in central lubrication system applications. Both connection threads are M8x1.0 metric standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a lubrication system technician or qualified maintenance mechanic. Depressurize and shut down the pump circuit before removing or installing any metering unit. Use appropriate metric wrenches and do not overtighten fittings into threaded ports. Verify system pressure and flow are within the pump and line specifications before returning the circuit to service.
