Grease Fittings
Thread these fittings into motors, bearings, engine blocks, and other machinery to create a lubrication point. They’re also known as hydraulic grease fittings.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. Brass fittings resist corrosion better than zinc-plated steel fittings. 303 stainless steel fittings are more corrosion resistant than brass fittings and have good chemical resistance. 400 nickel fittings are the most corrosion resistant and can be used in caustic environments, such as those involving salt water, sulfuric acid, and alkalies.
Fittings with a check valve prevent grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
SAE-LT threads are tapered but designed to be installed into a 1/4"-28 straight-thread UNF hole. UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.

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.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.

Flush-Style Grease Fittings

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.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. Install Style C with a hex wrench. UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.

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.
SAE-LT threads are tapered.

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.
Zinc-plated steel adapters have mild corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel adapters are more corrosion resistant than brass adapters and have good chemical resistance.
PTF-SAE and NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads. UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage. SAE-LT threads are tapered but designed to be installed into a 1/4"-28 straight-thread UNF hole.
