Enco RF-30 One Shot Lube System

Well now you took my idea for my HF drill mill , I've all the parts only I'm using copper lines . Depending where I may solder mine into the castings , I figure they'll be closer and less chance of dropping a part and busting a fitting hanging out an inch . Mainly I've got about fifty ft of 1/8"soft copper line material. Even going to use it on all my machines . I also thought of using a converted a grease gun and on the distribution block add a grease fitting to pump oil into the machines . I have plenty of them and two of the reservoir pumps . Good job but I don't trust the push in type fittings. Your set ups real nice and looks professional .
 
Good luck with your project. I agree, push-to connect fittings leak and sometimes the tubing falls out. I prefer compression fittings.
 
I installed a check valve at the inlet to the distribution manifold. Take a look at the first picture. At the top of the manifold you will see a pipe nipple and a brass fitting on top. That is the check valve.

neat, thanks for the info Tom
