Priming / Prefilling Fittings and
Grease Lines
All grease lines (extensions and tubes) must
be primed/prefilled. Without priming/prefilling,
the lubricator would first need time to fill the
tubes with lubricant before it would actually
supply lubricant to the lubrication point.
Example: A tube that is 1/2 meter long x 6 mm
(19.5 inches x 1/4 inch) diameter, requires
about 14 ccm (1 Tablespoon) of lubricant. With
a 12 month activator screw, the lubricator
would need about 1-1/2 months to fill this tube.
F
IG. 4 illustrates one way to pre fill using stan-
dard parts for a grease gun with extension
thread M10 x 1.
Remote Mounting Installations
• Installations up to 3 ft away from the lubri-
cation point can be mounted with flexible
tubes and a bracket. Refer to F
IG. 5, FIG. 6
and F
IG. 7 for examples of correct remote
mounting installations
• Remote installations require a grease line.
Graco recommends using a tube with an
inside diameter of at least 6 mm (1/4 inch).
1. Select a position for the lubricator that is
easy to access and protected from
high-pressure water jets, falling materials,
corrosive chemicals and extreme tempera-
tures. Temperature must be below +40°C
(+104°F).
2. Prime the grease line and all accessories
with the same grease that is contained in
the lubricator.
3. Secure grease lines with ties or similar
means.
