ThislubricantdistribuonlinesshouldbemadeupofGroeneveldØ4mm,semi‐rigid,nylontubing.Itisrecommendedthatthe—

loomsdependingonpumplocaonandquantyandposioningofthegreasepoints.Ifgroupingthelines,intolooms,allow‐
sufficientlengthforconnecontothebulkheadoutletconnectorsandthebearings,makinganallowanceformovementonthe
machinery.Inconjunconwiththe‘Installaon Record’sheet(seepage16),fitthenumberidenficaonsleevestothelinesatthe

Workingfromthefurthestpointfromthepump,feedthelubricaonlinesthroughthemachinefollowingexisngmachineservices,
wherepossible.Ensurethatthelubricaonlinesareposionedtofitthebearingfings.Whereabearingisonamovingpart,‐
ensurethatthelineissufficienttoallowforfullmovement.Toavoidrubbingorfriconwithmovingparts,grommetsorprotecve
sleevingshouldbeused.Also,dependingontheseverityofmovement,compressionfingsmaybepreferredatthebearingpoints.

runningthetubingintothepumpingunits,togivetheloomstrengthandrigidity,thetubesshouldbeclippedtogethertoforman
arrangementwithanoffsetfromthepumpof50to60mm(2”‐2‐1/2”).Thestarngpointfortheloomcanbeasrequired.
