Lubricator-equipped air preparation for pneumatic tools that call for an oiled air supply. The current collection features complete WAALPC filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) systems rather than standalone inline lubricators. Each combines filtration, pressure control, and an integrated lubricator in one compact assembly.
Important: use lubricated air only where the tool manufacturer recommends it. Do not introduce oil into equipment, processes, or air lines that require clean, dry, oil-free air.
Choosing a lubricator-equipped FRL
When an integrated lubricator makes sense
A lubricator-equipped FRL is a practical option for a single pneumatic workstation when the connected tool benefits from continuous air-line lubrication and the line is dedicated to that use.
Selection checklist
- Confirm that the pneumatic tool is designed for lubricated air.
- Verify thread size, flow requirement, and working pressure.
- Choose manual or auto drain based on the maintenance routine.
- Use the recommended pneumatic tool oil and follow the product instructions for adjustment.
- Keep lubricated branches separate from paint, instrumentation, or other oil-sensitive air uses.
Air lubricator FAQ
Can I use a lubricator on every air line?
No. Only add lubrication where it is compatible with all equipment and processes downstream. A shared line can contaminate tools or processes that require oil-free air.
Should I choose manual or auto drain?
Choose manual drain where the workstation is routinely checked. Choose an auto-drain FRL when reducing manual condensate handling is the better fit for the application.
Compare all-in-one options in FRL Systems, or shop filter-regulators for applications that do not require lubrication.
