Take Better Oil Samples
Achieve and maintain a world-class lubrication program. Upgrade to oil sampling valves and get the trendable oil samples you need to effectively extend out oil drain intervals and make decisive predictive maintenance decisions.
Oil sampling valves allow you to consistently sample active oil directly from the active zone while the equipment is running. The oil samples obtained will provide the most accurate information about the oil and machine.
Checkfluid Manufacturers Oil Sampling Valves for Both Pressurized and Non-Pressurized Equipment
Pressurized Sampling Solutions
KP Pushbutton
- Sampling pressures 5 - 750 psi (0.03 - 5.17 MPa)
- Pushbutton style valve - simply push for your oil sample
- No probes needed, no tubing required, no vacuum pumps
- Reduce the chance of cross-contamination
- Remote access solutions available
Non-Pressurized Sampling Solutions
LTJ Sampling Tube
- High flow sampling valve for high viscosity oils or lower temperatures
- Sampling tube draws oil from the active zone
- Samples 7x faster than the M16x2 style
- Installs compactly into almost any port without special tools or adapters
- Sampling 0 -125 psi (0 - 0.86 MPa)

Why Oil Sampling Valves?
Oil sampling valves allow you to consistently sample active oil directly from the active zone while the equipment is running. No shutdowns, no more scheduling samples around production. You can sample at any time without opening your system up to external contamination. Additionally, sampling valves can reduce the time it takes to get a sample by 80%.
More importantly, the oil samples obtained will provide the most accurate information about the oil and machine. This is because the oil sample is being pulled from the best sampling location, not just the more convenient each time. If the best sampling location is not the most accessible, remote access installation allows for the sampling valves to be installed while ensuring that easy, safe sampling.
By switching to sampling valves companies have saved thousands in avoiding production shutdowns and through optimized oil drain intervals. Being able to pin-point component issues directly through better-located sampling valves has also saved companies thousands in unneeded component changes out and non-stock products. These cost savings immediately and directly impact the bottom line profitability

CORE Solution
- Checkfluid's CORE Solution covers the functions you need for total fluid management of your gearbox or reservoir
- It combines the AD Drain Mount and AB Breather Mount into a closed system meaning you can sample, filter, drain, fill and monitor all from a closed system
- The same high flow sampling valve as the LTJ Series allows you to combine sampling excellence with other visual monitoring techniques
- Sample, filter, monitoring without impacting production
- Ask to see case studies to see what other companies have been able to achieve with the CORE Solution
See How Easy It Is To Sample
Basic KP Sampling:
- Unthread dust cap from the valve
- Place sampling bottle under valve spout
- Press button to fill bottle to 3/4 mark
- Release button to close the valve
- Thread on the bottle cap and thread dust cap onto the valve
- Send oil sample to the lab ASAP
Basic LTJ Sampling:
- Unthread dust cap from the valve
- Slowly thread the needle probe into the valve for approx 1.25 turns to open the valve
- Hold to fill bottle to 3/4 mark
- Unthread the needle probe slightly to deactivate the valve
- Unscrew bottle from the vacuum pump and thread lid back onto bottle
- Thread dust cap back onto the valve
- Send sample to the lab ASAP
Note: Only basic sampling guidelines are listed above. More detailed sampling instructions are available.Remember to always purge before taking a sample.
About Checkfluid
Since 2001 Checkfluid has made it easier for companies to get reliable oil samples by developing oil sampling valves and related hardware. Checkfluid’s sampling valves are designed to make sampling both pressurized and non-pressurized systems easier and more precise. A one-time installation provides a significant return on investment; sample after sample, year after year. Checkfluid valves are designed, machined and assembled according to rigid ISO 9001:2015 guidelines and often can be specified on new purchases.
