Grease Fitting Size Identifiers

Take the guesswork out of determining the thread type and size of a grease fitting. Screw the shank of a grease fitting into the labeled holes of these identifiers until you find the one that fits.

Grease Fitting Adapters

When the size or thread type of a fitting doesn't match an existing opening, use these adapters to make the connection.

Straight

UNF Thread—UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.

Zinc-Plated Steel—Zinc-plated steel adapters have mild corrosion resistance.

Brass—Brass adapters resist corrosion better than zinc-plated steel adapters.

Button Head Grease Fittings

Often used on earth movers, mining equipment, and other heavy machinery, these fittings have a T-shaped top that holds the dispensing tip in place so it won’t pop off when adding grease. They're best for machinery requiring high volumes of grease because they let more grease pass through than standard grease fittings, thanks to a larger opening. An integral check valve prevents grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.

Flush-Style Grease Fittings


Male Straight Style C	Male Straight Style D

The nipple doesn't stick out, so these fittings fit in tight spaces and won't be damaged if something knocks into them. An integral check valve prevents grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.

Self-Tapping Grease Fittings for Unthreaded Holes

To fit securely in unthreaded holes, these fittings cut threads as they’re installed. Use a hex wrench to install. Fittings can be driven in, but then are not pressure rated. They're zinc-plated steel for mild corrosion resistance. All have an integral check valve that prevents grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants. These fittings are also known as hydraulic grease fittings.

Self-Tapping Flush-Style Grease Fittings for Unthreaded Holes

Ensure a secure fit in unthreaded holes—these fittings cut threads as they’re installed. Use them in tight spaces where protruding fittings won't work. Install with a hex wrench. Fittings can be driven in, but then are not pressure rated. They’re zinc-plated steel for mild corrosion resistance. An integral check valve prevents grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
