 Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2007 8:25 pm Post subject: IP Lubricator assembly |
 |
|
I thought seeing as I'm going to get a regulator for 'Victor', I might as well get a lubricator as well. So I would like to know how they fit in. Does the 'Tee piece' from the lubricator slot into the reverser valve and then the steam pipe from the new regulator slot into the back of it? If so it doesn't sound as difficult as first thought! If anyone has some scans of instructions or pictures of it all assembled, I'd be most grateful if you could post them up here

That's pretty much how it is MTA. You have to solder the steam pipe into the lubricator. Then the lubricator slots into the block at the front.
I'm looking for pictures but PB is running slow ATM!

Anyone know if pps do the lubricators as they don't list them on their site.
Also are pps upgraded pistons the same as ip upgraded pistons?

Yes, but PPS's gauge one cylinders are the same as the 0 gauge but with 2 more gaskets. While I.P do a proper sort of larger port faces.
Not sure whether PPS sell lubricators

MTA if you dont mind soldering a coller onto some copper pipe get yourself a Roundhouse lubricator to fit instead of the IP one.
It looks better and works better especially if you are going to get a regulator.
Also I have gotten two IP lubricators and both of them were bent up incorrectly so I had to straighten and rebend them to fit them which caused kinks in the pipe.

Thanks for your help guys. Especially GJ who scanned in the instructions. It does not say though it needs to be soldered MM

The t on mine fitted perfectly.......... In the bin.
The lubricator drum bit went to James.
And the roundhouse 1 i fitted works much better.
Go with the flow MTA and fit the roundhoude type 1. Those who have fitted them im sure will agree they are a much better idea. |

How much is the Roundhouse Lubricator and how would you fit it? Is it in the same manner albeit from the regulator steam pipe?

Can you give a precise list of what to buy to fit a roundhouse one. I am a bit thick with that sort of thing.
Unions is it?
What gets soldered to what and how?
Best get my brain in gear, got a meeting with my bosses bosses boss tomorrow!

Think mine was £11.75 from roundhouse it comes with all the connections you need to fit it to the ip/pps regulator. Im sure if you ring roundhouse they will help you. They are a fantastic company, never known anyone as helpfull or interested in their job before.

Have a look at their web site but be warned it can prove expensive  |

its realy simple. 1 end just screws onto the ip/pps type regulator and the union that roundhouse supply with the lubricator just needs fitting in to the steam pipe that comes with the regulator.
If you need anymore help just ask i will be glad to help as much as i can.
