Product Information
Full details
The Morris Air Force EP22 is a premium, low-viscosity airline oil designed for lubricating air tools. It offers excellent protection against wear, rust, and corrosion, while its special additives ensure optimal performance even in demanding conditions. A key benefit is its antifogging agent, promoting a healthier work environment. The main caveat to consider is its specific formulation for air tools, which may not be suitable for all general lubrication needs.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of Morris Air Force EP22?
Morris Air Force EP22 is specifically formulated as a low-viscosity lubricant for air tools, providing protection against wear, rust, and corrosion while ensuring efficient operation through mist lubrication.
Can I use this oil for general machinery lubrication?
While it can be used for general lubrication in industrial applications, its primary design and optimal performance are for air tools and pneumatic equipment. For other machinery, consult the manufacturer's recommendations for lubricant type.
How does the antifogging agent benefit me?
The antifogging agent helps reduce the amount of oil mist released into the air, contributing to a healthier and safer working environment by minimizing inhalation exposure.
What is the importance of demulsibility?
Good demulsibility means the oil quickly separates from water. This is crucial in compressed air systems where moisture can be present, preventing water from emulsifying with the oil and compromising lubrication.
How often should I refill the inline lubricator?
The refill frequency depends on the usage of the air tool and the setting of the lubricator. Regularly check the oil level in the lubricator and refill as needed to ensure continuous lubrication.
What does 'EP' stand for in EP22?
EP stands for 'Extreme Pressure'. This indicates that the oil contains additives designed to protect equipment under high load and pressure conditions, reducing wear on critical components.
Does the distinct color have any functional purpose?
Yes, the distinct color serves for easy identification, helping to ensure that the correct lubricant is being used in air tool systems and preventing the accidental use of an incompatible oil.
Troubleshooting
Air tool performance is sluggish or weak.
Ensure the inline lubricator is properly filled with Morris Air Force EP22 and set to the correct oil feed rate. Check the air supply line for blockages or leaks. Verify that the air tool itself is clean and free from internal debris.
Excessive oil mist in the work area.
Reduce the oil feed rate on the inline lubricator. Ensure the lubricator is functioning correctly and not over-atomizing the oil. Check for any leaks in the air tool or connections that might be causing excessive discharge.
Visible rust or corrosion on air tool parts.
Confirm that the correct grade of air line oil (Morris Air Force EP22) is being used. Check for excessive moisture in the compressed air supply, which might require a more robust air drying system. Ensure the oil is reaching all critical lubrication points.
Oil appears cloudy or milky.
This may indicate water contamination. Check the compressed air system for water ingress and ensure the oil's demulsibility is functioning. If contamination is severe, drain and flush the system and refill with fresh EP22 oil.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers robust protection against wear and extreme pressure.
- Effectively prevents rust and corrosion in air tools.
- Maintains performance under high temperatures and oxidizing conditions.
- Ensures efficient lubrication through superior misting.
- Contributes to a safer working environment with antifogging properties.
- Minimizes maintenance needs due to low deposit formation.
Cons
- Primarily formulated for air tools, limiting broader application.
- Requires specific dispensing systems (e.g., inline lubricators) for optimal use.
- Low viscosity might not be suitable for systems requiring heavier lubricants.
- Distinct color, while helpful for identification, may be undesirable in some sensitive environments.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Morris Air Force EP22 is typically used in conjunction with an inline lubricator installed in the compressed air line leading to the tool. Ensure the lubricator is filled with EP22 oil and adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific air tool being used. The oil's low viscosity is designed for efficient misting, so proper lubricator setup is key.
Compatibility: This oil is specifically designed for air tools and pneumatic equipment, including road drills, jack hammers, air speed saws, torque wrenches, air motors, and pneumatic rams/cylinders. It is also suitable for general lubrication in industrial applications where a light, anti-wear oil is required. Avoid using this oil in applications requiring high-viscosity lubricants or where food-grade specifications are necessary.
Care: Store the oil in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation. Regularly check and refill inline lubricators. Periodically inspect air tools for signs of wear or damage, which may indicate a need to adjust lubrication settings or consider maintenance.
