The Piusi K40 is the industry’s “workhorse” metered nozzle, designed for technicians who demand a bulletproof, battery-free solution for oil dispensing. In an era of sensitive electronics, the K40 relies on a time-tested mechanical nutating disk mechanism. This “always-on” analog design ensures that your meter is ready to work in extreme cold, high-heat, or high-moisture environments where digital displays often fail or require frequent battery changes.

The F00973120 model is specifically engineered for the North American market, featuring a 1/2″ NPT inlet and a Rigid Steel Spout, calibrated for Quart and Gallon measurements.

Key Features & Benefits

• Mechanical Reliability: The nutating disk measurement system provides high accuracy ($pm 1%$) across a wide range of oil viscosities without the need for a power source. The large, high-contrast face features a 4-digit resettable batch total (Quarts) and a 7-digit non-resettable lifetime totalizer (Gallons).
• 1,000 PSI High-Pressure Rating: Built for heavy-duty industrial and automotive applications, the K40 is rated for a constant working pressure of 70 Bar (1,000 PSI). It is the perfect match for high-ratio 5:1 and 10:1 pneumatic pumps used in large distribution networks.
• Rigid Steel Spout: For applications requiring a fixed, steady aiming point, the rigid spout offers superior stability. It eliminates the “whip” or “kick” associated with flexible hoses when the pump first engages, allowing for precise targeting in open-top containers or accessible fill ports.
• Manual Non-Drip Tip: The rigid spout is finished with a manual-close non-drip valve. By sealing the tip after use, you eliminate “post-dispense” weeping, keeping your shop floor clean and maintaining a professional workspace.
• Integrated 1/2″ NPT Swivel: Comes factory-equipped with a high-pressure 1/2″ NPT swivel. This allows the meter to rotate 360° independently of the hose, preventing kinks, reducing wrist strain, and making it much easier to maneuver around vehicle chassis.
• Rugged Die-Cast Body: The internal measuring chamber is protected by a shock-proof, aluminum housing designed to survive the drops, impacts, and daily rigors of a high-volume service bay.

Technical Specifications

In the world of fluid management, simplicity equals longevity. The Piusi F00973120 is preferred by fleet managers and heavy equipment mechanics because it eliminates the downtime associated with dead batteries or “glitched” LCD screens. It provides a tactile, reliable measurement solution that remains accurate from the first quart to the millionth gallon, regardless of the environment.
