2. Oiler body. The oiler body shall consist of a one-piece seamless cold-rolled steel top section and a spring-action bottom. The top section and bottom shall be securely fitted to each other with a strong and leakproof joint. The body shall have an opening in the top of not less than 3/4 inch in diameter. This opening shall be either fitted with a solid-brass collar, or the top part of the body opening shall be reinforced with a solid-metal neck in a manner to prevent weakening connections when the threads are cut.
3. Oiler spout. The oiler spout shall be of cold-rolled steel; length shall be between 1-1/2 and 4 inches, between 4 and 6 inches, between 6 and 9 inches, or between 9 and 12 inches, as specified in the contract or order. The spout shall be either straight or bent, as specified in the contract or order. The spout shall be fitted with a solid-brass bushing having machine-cut threads suitable for engagement in the threaded opening of the oiler body. The spout seam shall be welded, brazed, or silver-soldered. Lead-tin solders are not acceptable. The fitting of the collar/neck and spout shall afford a strong and leakproof joint.
4. Oiler finish. The oiler shall be polished or copper plated and finished with a coat of lacquer or varnish or baked-on enamel finish.
5. Washer. The washer shall be impervious to oil and shall have such oil-sealing qualities so as to prevent leakage at the threaded connection.
6. Marking. Each oiler shall be marked in a plain and permanent manner with the manufacturer’s name or with a trademark of such known character that the source of manufacture may be readily determined.
Contractor certification. The contractor shall certify and maintain substantiating evidence that the product offered meets the salient characteristics of this CID and that the product conforms to the producer’s own drawings, specifications, standards, and quality assurance practices. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such conformance prior to first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract.
Metric products. Products manufactured to metric dimensions will be considered on an equal basis with those manufactured using inch-pound units, provided they fall within specified tolerances using conversion tables contained in the latest revision of FED-STD-376, and all other requirements of this CID are met. If a product is manufactured to metric dimensions and those dimensions exceed the tolerances specified in the inch-pound units, a request should be made to the contracting officer to determine if the product is acceptable. The contracting officer has the option of accepting or rejecting the product.
Regulatory requirements. In accordance with Section 23.403 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations, the Government’s policy is to acquire items composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition without adversely affecting performance requirements or exposing the supplier’s employees to undue hazards from the recovered materials.
