Oil Fittings for Unthreaded Holes
Drive these fittings into unthreaded holes.
Zinc and zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance.
Fittings with a check valve prevent oil from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants. Fittings with a self-closing hinged cover block contaminants from entering equipment.
Note: Fittings do not hold oil; any oil dispensed into the fittings passes into the part to be lubricated.

Oil Fittings
Zinc and zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. Zinc-plated brass fittings have good corrosion resistance. Nickel-plated brass fittings are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated brass fittings.
Fitting with a check valve prevents oil from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants. 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.

Thread these fittings onto your testing equipment by hand for a secure connection in testing applications—no tools, tape, or sealant required. Use them with gauges and other equipment as a temporary connection. When pressure is applied, the O-ring on the outlet presses against the testing equipment, creating a tight seal.
Adapters with intermittent swivel rotate 360° until tightened for easy installation.

Pressure Test Fittings
Check pressure without permanently installing a gauge. Fittings have an NPT male connection for installation in your pipe or tank. Wrench-tighten the fitting onto your equipment, then insert the gauge adapter (sold separately) into the fitting. Connect gauge adapters to gauges with 1/4 pipe size NPT male threads.

Oil Cups
A built-in reservoir allows oil to gradually pass through to equipment, reducing time spent on manual lubrication. Flow rate depends on temperature.
Use 90° elbow cups for side-mount applications and where vertical space is limited.
Oil cups with wick feed have a wick that extends through the threaded connection of the cup and keeps the bearing dust-free and lubricated, even after the oil cup is drained.

Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Pressure Testing
Add quick connection points for mechanical gauges and other diagnostic equipment to your line. These couplings are also known as test ports and diagnostic couplings. To take a reading, connect a socket to your gauge using a hose assembly. Then push the socket into a plug that’s permanently threaded into a test port on your line. No threading or unthreading is necessary. Add additional plugs to your line to take measurements at different points. To quickly move the gauge to a different test port, pull back the sleeve on the socket to disengage.
A complete coupling consists of a plug and socket (both sold separately). The plug and socket both have a shut-off valve to stop flow when the coupling is separated, so they're sometimes called double shut-off couplings. They meet ISO 15171-1, which is an international standard for dimensional and performance standards of flat-face diagnostic push-to-connect couplings.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size. Pressure ratings are given for static (constant) pressure conditions.

Pressure Gauges for Hydraulic Jacks
Monitor hydraulic oil pressure levels to guard against overload. These gauges are liquid filled to reduce needle vibration and include an adapter to mount the gauge in line with the hose.
