An applicator and method of discharging a corrosion preventative. The applicator A comprises a distribution member (10) having a block member (40). The block (40) member having a sensor bore (52), at least one inlet port (42), at least one outlet port (44) and a reservoir 46 disposed between the at least one inlet port (42) and the at least one outlet port (44), wherein the reservoir (46) contains an amount of the corrosion preventative (36). The applicator A further comprises a discharge member (12) removably attached to the distribution member (10). The discharge member (12) has a plate member (54), a sensor guide (60) and a plurality of discharge channels (58). The sensor guide (60) and the plurality of discharge channels (58) are attached to and extend from the plate member (54) wherein the plurality of discharge channels (58) surround the sensor guide (60) and are in fluid communication with the reservoir (46). The applicator A also comprises a proximity sensor (14) positioned within the sensor bore (52). The proximity sensor (14) signals a presence of the sensor instrument (22) being positioned within the sensor bore (52) when the sensor guide (60) removably engages with the fastener aperture (28) of the sensor body (18). In response to the signaling of the sensor instrument position (22) within the sensor bore (52), the plurality of discharge channels (58) uniformly discharge controlled amounts of the corrosion preventative (36) contained in the reservoir (46) onto the sensor body (18). |
