Trico DSM-3 Central Lubrication Meter Unit 5/16-24

Product Description

The TRICO DSM-3 is a meter unit designed for central lubrication systems, providing controlled lubricant distribution at a single lube point within a centralized network. The unit features identical 5/16-24 inch threaded connections on both the inlet and outlet ports, allowing for straightforward inline installation. At 0.03 pounds, the DSM-3 is a compact, lightweight component suited for integration into both electrically driven and manually operated cyclic lubrication systems. It is typically installed by maintenance mechanics or lubrication system technicians performing centralized lube system builds or retrofits.

The DSM-3 is intended for use in central lubrication system applications across industrial and commercial equipment where cyclic lube delivery is required. It is compatible with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps, making it a versatile metering point for systems that run on timed or manually triggered lubrication cycles. This unit is well suited for machinery requiring consistent, measured grease or oil delivery to individual bearing points or wear surfaces.

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 lubrication system technician or qualified maintenance mechanic. De-pressurize and shut down the lubrication system before removing or installing meter units to prevent uncontrolled lubricant discharge. Use appropriate thread sealant compatible with the lubricant being distributed and verify that the 5/16-24 thread connections are fully engaged and leak-free before returning the system to service.
