Air Tool Mini In-Line Oiler ¼" (4389H)

Hello The oil is distributed into the air flow towards the air tool at the end of the line. Thanks for using Q&A

Hello Onpoint, There should be a small hex screw inside the oiler that you can tighten/loosen to regulate the oil amount. Thanks for using Q&A, KC.

The widest end should be nearest the tool. If the wide end is nearest the compressor the oil consumption is way too high and will ruin your air tools by blowing the seals and gaskets. You'll also end up with oil running everywhere. 2 drops every 15-30 minutes of use is more than enough.

Hi jggh, We are not aware of any reason why 3-1 oil should harm this oiler. However it is important to check with the oil manufacturer whether the oil itself is suitable for use with air tools as you would be potentially breathing in the vapour and also there is the possibility of dieseling, whereby the compressed oil vapour combusts under pressure causing a hazard to both tool and user. If the manufacturer of 3-in-1 oil say that it should not be used, then you should use a purpose-designed air tool oil. Unfortunately Screwfix do not stock this but it is readily available elsewhere. Thanks for using Screwfix Q&A.

Hello Briangor, The oil flow is in one direction only. Thank you for using Q&A.
