Specifications: BL4000T is an AirTAC B Series air lubricator. BL identifies the lubricator series, 4000 is the catalog size/port code for a 1/2-inch connection, and the T suffix selects NPT thread. The actual connection for this model is NPT 1/2 in. This listing identifies the legacy model; its C-version supply replacement is stated below.

Ordering and Replacement
Order BL4000T; we supply BL4000CT as the replacement.
This is our store ordering and supply policy. The catalogs document the product specifications and dimensions; they do not provide a manufacturer certification of dimensional interchangeability. Match the thread type and check the replacement dimensions before installation.

Legacy catalog reference weight
250 g, published for the legacy design. This is a catalog reference, not a measured weight. The C-version catalog does not publish a product weight.
Features and Operation
The compact lubricator is intended for air service with ISO VG 32 oil or an equivalent lubricant.
The transparent sight dome allows the oil-drop quantity to be observed directly.
A high-strength plastic guard protects the oil bowl; its listed material is PA66.
The catalog states low pressure loss and a low flow requirement for mist formation, without publishing a numerical mist-start flow.
The catalog uses the pneumatic lubricator symbol and shows the oil bowl vertically below the body. The inlet and outlet are identified by IN and OUT in the dimensional drawing. The plotted flow characteristics describe outlet pressure as air flow increases.

Published operating ranges
Both supplied tables state 0.05–1.0 MPa operating pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, −5 to +70 °C (non-freezing), and ISO VG 32 or equivalent lubricant.
Bowl-guard material
Legacy version: PA66; C version: PA6 + glass fiber. Component numbering also changes between catalogs.
The matched nominal connection is retained, but the external dimensions change. Match the complete ordering code and the available installation space. These catalog comparisons do not establish interchangeability of bowls, guards or other internal parts.

Applicable catalog curve
BL Series — legacy catalog, printed page 258
Horizontal axis
Air flow, L/min; labelled ticks: 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600.
Vertical axis
Outlet pressure, MPa; labelled ticks: 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6.
Curve presentation
Six unlabelled curves begin around 0.1–0.6 MPa at zero flow and show outlet pressure falling as flow increases.
Use the actual PDF curve for the required operating point. The last labelled axis value is not a rated or guaranteed flow capacity. These are series reference curves, not separately measured data for every thread or port variant. The pages do not state an individual inlet-pressure test condition for each curve, a standard-volume convention, reference temperature, fixed rating pressure drop or numerical mist-start flow.
