Trico DTM-4M Central Lubrication Meter Unit 1/8 Bspt

Product Description

The TRICO DTM-4M is a meter unit designed for central lubrication systems. It threads into a lubrication distribution line using 1/8-inch BSPT connections on both the inlet and outlet ports. The unit meters lubricant flow in cyclic lubrication circuits, helping ensure consistent delivery to each lubrication point during each pump cycle. It weighs 0.03 pounds, making it a compact, lightweight component suited for tight installation spaces. This part is typically installed by maintenance technicians and industrial lubrication specialists working on automated or manual lubrication setups.

This meter unit is intended for use in central lubrication systems found in industrial machinery, manufacturing equipment, and heavy-duty vehicles. It is compatible with both electric and manual cyclic pump systems. The 1/8-inch BSPT thread connections are standard in many European and metric-style lubrication circuit assemblies. This unit fits into progressive or cyclic distribution blocks where controlled metering at each lube point is required.

Key Features

• 1/8-inch BSPT inlet and outlet thread connections for direct in-line installation
• Compatible with all cyclic system electric and manual pumps
• Lightweight construction at 0.03 pounds for use in space-constrained installations
• Designed for consistent, metered lubricant delivery per pump cycle
• Compact form factor suited to multi-point central lubrication distribution lines

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or lubrication system specialists. Shut down and de-energize the lubrication pump and relieve any residual line pressure before removing or installing meter units. Use appropriate thread sealant compatible with the lubricant in the system and avoid over-tightening BSPT fittings, as BSPT is a tapered thread that seals on the thread form itself. Verify flow direction and outlet alignment before returning the system to service.
