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.
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.
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 Styles A, B, and D with a slotted screwdriver. 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.

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. 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.

Oil Fittings
Zinc and zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. Nickel-plated brass fittings are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated brass fittings.
Fittings with a self-closing hinged cover block contaminants from entering equipment.
UNF and UNEF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.
Note: Fittings do not hold oil; any oil dispensed into the fittings passes into the part to be lubricated.

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.
