- Check the Bowl daily to ensure there is no water or contamination in your machine.
- Do not sample from the Bowl. The oil inside is not a good representation of the oil that is actively making contact with your gears.
- When purging, hold the drain open until the Bowl has completely refilled with clean oil.
- Close the drain valve.
- For use on drain level ports only.
- Do not use on machines with oil temperatures outside the range of -20°F (-29°C) to 200°F (94°C).
- Do not use on machines with ambient temperatures outside the range of -20°F (-29°C) to 200°F (94°C).
- For use with mineral and synthetic oils compatible with Tritan, Viton, zinc-plated steel.
- Do not use on systems exceeding 65 psi (4.48 bars)

What is the size of the valve used?
1/4" NPT threads. twist to lock, spiral, poppet valve
Can I sample from the bowl?
We do not recommend sampling from the bowl as it will naturally collect water and other contaminants. It does not paint an accurate picture of the condition of the oil that is actively contacting your gears.
Do the threads require Teflon tape?
Thread sealing tape NOT recommended as it may cause contamination. Luneta officially recommends the use of paste or dope to seal threads.
