Henner,

Yes, it is a "dead leg" lubricator with only one leg to the vertical steam line. Its configuration is just like a typical Roundhouse lubricator, except one "leg" is cut off at the lubricator body and the cut off copper tube is plugged with a small soldered-in copper rivet.

The copper tube is 0.125" diameter. The oil opening is on the top of the tube inside, just like a Roundhouse lubricator, and the hole size is 0.035", which is the size of a US #65 drill bit. It is the smallest drill bit I have.

Glad to be of help.

Regards,
Steve

Steve,
sorry for the late reply, I was out of town. Thank you very much for your
pictures of the lubricator. Is it in fact a dead leg lubricator as I can
only see one "leg" ? What is the diameter of the tube/oil opening ?
Regards
Henner
