Prevent cavitation with the Column Bypass Tubing Kit

This kit is used when the Column is installed on a Luneta Hub with a filter cart attached. The Bypass Kit will prevent the filter cart from drawing oil out of the Column. This prevents cavitation from occurring within the cart.


It is available in 1" NPT or 3/4" NPT sizing to accomodate both sizes of the Hub's 4 ports.

Frequently Asked Questions

What keeps the Sight Glass in place?


The locknut provides adequate pressure to keep the Sight Glass securely in place.

Does the sampling valve have to be installed pointing up?

No! You can install the port in whatever direction makes the most sense for your operation. It will be able to dispense oil from any angle.

Why can't I purchase a Pod smaller than 1/2" diameter?

The thread reducer must be 1/2" or greater to allow for the pilot tube to pass through properly. Otherwise the oil level will not display properly.

Do I have to drain the machine to take out the indicators for viewing?

No. Luneta's patented design allows you to rotate the indicators up out of the oil so they can be removed without spilling oil.
