If you repair Vacumatic fillers, you need Vacumatic lubricant.
Have you ever wondered why, when you disassemble a Vacumatic whose blind cap fit perfectly before, you have the devil’s own time getting it to line up right when you install a new diaphragm and put the pen back together? The answer is Vacumatic lubricant. Parker’s factory assemblers and field repairers used it. The Parker Vacumatic service manual calls for it. It’s the only way to get a diaphragm to seat properly in the pen. Without Vacumatic lubricant, friction keeps the replacement diaphragm from seating deeply enough in the barrel, and you can’t screw the threaded retaining collar all the way down without cranking so hard you worry about damaging things. Apply lubricant all the way around the diaphragm as instructed by the Vacumatic service manual (illustrated below), and the diaphragm slips into place so that the pen will go together the way Parker intended: perfectly.
Our Vacumatic lubricant is water based and water soluble. It will not harm your pens or cause their diaphragms to deteriorate. The 0.5-ounce (15 cc) bottle contains enough lubricant for hundreds of pens and comes with an extra-long brush cap for ease of handling.
Tip You can also use Vacumatic lubricant to provide that extra little bit of slip! that you sometimes need to seat a tight nib and feed into a section.
