Description
Bijur Delimon – Meter Unit FKD-1: Medium Flow, Insert Type D (British Standard)
L. Dewitt's SKU #: B8872 | Mfr Part #: B8872The Bijur Delimon B8872 Meter Unit (Type FKD-1) is a precision oil proportioning device for Single Line Resistance (SLR) cyclic lubrication systems. The FKD is the 1/8 BSPT equivalent of the FKA — an insert-type unit designed for machines with British Standard Pipe bearing ports. Like the FKA, the inlet shank inserts into a drilled machine passage while the 1/8 BSPT outlet connects to the bearing. It delivers "Medium" metered oil per cycle.
Regulated Medium Flow
As a FKD-1 model, this unit delivers Medium flow, appropriate for mid-size bearings operating under moderate load and speed. This rate delivers a balanced oil volume per cycle — enough to maintain a complete lubricant film without generating waste at lighter-duty bearing points elsewhere in the system.
Cyclic System Integrity
An integrated 5 lb check valve ensures one-directional oil flow and prevents internal passage drainage between pump cycles. For cyclic lubrication systems only. Not compatible with continuous-flow pumps.
