Oil Mist Curbs
Capture & Return Leaking Oil From Your Ductwork
Unique and unusual pick-up placement combined with overhead constraints, often mean that the final connection to a machine center is accomplished with a flex hose. Flex hose connections on oil mist applications always — ALWAYS!!!!! — leak. The effluent puddles on the top of the machine, runs down the sides and puddles on the floor creating a safety hazard.
Oil Mist Curbs from US Duct
Oil mist curbs are a simple and effective solution that captures the leaking oil and returns it directly to the machine center.
How to Control Oil Leaking From Your Ductwork
First, you CANNOT stop the leak. The curbs allow the hose to leak but capture it in a curb fully welded around an adapter. The adapter is attached to the port of the machine center. The hose then attaches to the adapter. As the oil leaks, it leaks into the curb. Small weep holes drilled at the base of the curb, allow the oil to weep/leak back into the machine.
