In a typical lubricator, filtered and regulated air enters the lubricator housing and is channeled in either of two directions depending on flow rate. At low flow rates, all the air passes through the venturi where it mixes with metered oil droplets. Under higher flow conditions, the spring-loaded bypass valve opens and the excess flow bypasses the venturi, then blends with the lubricated air at a downstream point. A manual adjustment (needle valve) in the housing sets the oil drip-rate into the air stream; a sight gauge allows that rate to be monitored. Fill plugs at the lubricator top provide access to refill the reservoir with oil
