Overview
The Balcrank 3330-159 DR Series Metered Control Handle combines precision oval gear metering technology with digital accuracy for professional fluid dispensing. Featuring a flex-memory extension and 1/4-turn manual nozzle optimized for oil applications, this handle delivers ±0.5% accuracy across flow rates from 0.25 to 8 gallons per minute. The lightweight, ergonomically balanced design with soft-grip handle excels in overhead reel systems, while the 5-digit LCD provides third-decimal-place precision. Compatible with oils up to SAE 140, ATF, and antifreeze solutions, it operates reliably at pressures up to 1,450 psi with auto-sleep functionality extending battery life.
