7.3.1 RECOMMENDED OIL
The oil recommended for KT Pumps in most applications is KV-100 oil. KV-100 is specially formulated to
provide peak lubrication even in arduous conditions, high pumping capacity at low pressures and resist
rust and oxidation. These properties further enhance the performance and durability of Kinney KT pumps.
See Table 2 for a list of recommended oils by service type. LT oil may be required where low temperature
starting or process contamination is encountered. Kinlube 220 may be recommended where a fire retardant
fluid is required. Halocarbon 125 is an inert fluid recommended for oxygen service, and for highly corrosive
applications.
