1/2" NPT MIDI Airline Drip Lubricator | XOL-MIDI-N12

The Pneuforce XOL-MIDI-N12 airline drip lubricator meters a controlled oil mist into the compressed air stream for pneumatic equipment that requires continuous lubrication. This model uses a MIDI modular body with 1/2" NPT ports.

The adjustable drip-feed design allows lubrication delivery to be matched to equipment demand and can be combined with compatible filters and regulators as part of a complete modular FRL assembly.

Modular Joining Kits and Field-Change Thread Blocks

A matching MIDI XOFR filter-regulator and XOL lubricator can be joined with the FRLKIT-MIDI modular FRL joining kit. Each joining kit is size-specific: MINI, MIDI and MAXI kit bodies are not interchangeable. To change the connection thread size while retaining the MIDI modular component, select a compatible MIDI OHB replaceable port/thread block. Available MIDI thread blocks: OHB-MIDI-38 (3/8" NPT), OHB-MIDI-12 (1/2" NPT), OHB-MIDI-34 (3/4" NPT). This helps distributors and plant maintenance teams carry fewer complete FRL variants and configure the required NPT port size at the point of installation. Confirm the port block, seals, orientation and component compatibility before fitting.

Choosing the Correct Pneuforce FRL Component

XOL-MIDI-N12 provides adjustable oil-mist lubrication for pneumatic components specifically designed to receive lubricated air. Install after the filter and regulator. The MIDI series has a published minimum airflow of 0.2 CFM (6 NL/min) for the oil-feed function; do not assume reliable lubrication at lower flow.

Controlled Lubrication for Pneumatic Equipment

A lubricator introduces a measured oil mist downstream of the filter and regulator. It should be used only where the connected valves, cylinders, air motors or tools require ongoing lubrication.

Key Features

  • Adjustable drip-feed lubrication
  • 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet ports
  • MIDI modular body size
  • Visible oil level and serviceable bowl
  • Can be combined with compatible modular FRL components
  • Helps support lubricated pneumatic tools and equipment
  • Suitable for OEM and maintenance installations

Typical Applications

  • Pneumatic air tools
  • Air motors
  • Lubricated cylinders and valves
  • Industrial machinery
  • Assembly equipment
  • Complete filter-regulator-lubricator assemblies

Installation & Service Guidance

Install downstream of the filter and regulator, observe airflow direction and mount vertically. Use only lubricant approved for the connected equipment and adjust the drip rate while the system is operating.

Important: Isolate and fully depressurize the compressed air system before installation or maintenance. Confirm model, body size, port size and component compatibility before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this pneumatic lubricator do?

It delivers an adjustable oil mist into a compressed-air line to lubricate compatible downstream pneumatic equipment.

Where does it go in an FRL system?

After the air filter and regulator and before components that require lubricated air. Confirm the marked flow direction and install the unit vertically.

What connection size and body does it use?

This is a MIDI FRL body with 1/2" NPT ports, suitable for matching modular air preparation assemblies.

What are the minimum and rated airflow specifications?

The FRL datasheet lists 216 CFM (6,100 NL/min) rated flow and 0.2 CFM (6 NL/min) minimum airflow for the MIDI lubricator oil-feed function.

Does every pneumatic cylinder or valve require lubricated air?

No. Many modern components are designed to run on clean, dry, non-lubricated compressed air. Use oil mist only where the equipment manufacturer calls for it.

What lubricating oil should I use?

Select an air-line lubricant approved by the downstream equipment manufacturer. The product family datasheet does not specify a universal lubricant grade.

Can I refill the bowl while it is pressurized?

Do not remove a pressure-containing bowl while pressurized. Isolate and fully depressurize the component before bowl removal or service.

What temperature range is listed?

The FRL datasheet gives an operating temperature range of 41–140°F (5–60°C). Confirm the intended lubricant remains suitable for the working environment.

Which joining kit connects a MIDI XOFR and XOL?

Use Pneuforce FRLKIT-MIDI to join compatible MIDI XOFR filter-regulators and XOL lubricators. Choose the kit for the same body size; MINI, MIDI and MAXI joining kits cannot be mixed.

Can I change the MIDI FRL NPT connection size without replacing the complete assembly?

Yes, where the assembly accepts the replaceable Pneuforce OHB thread blocks. The MIDI port options are OHB-MIDI-38 (3/8" NPT), OHB-MIDI-12 (1/2" NPT), OHB-MIDI-34 (3/4" NPT). A suitable block can simplify on-site configuration and inventory management; confirm the matching component and seals first.

Does the XOL lubricator have a condensate drain?

No. The XOL is an oil-mist lubricator with an oil reservoir. It does not filter condensate and has no bowl drain. Use an upstream XOF filter or XOFR filter-regulator where drainage is needed.
