Description

90-Degree Elbow Grease Fitting with Ball Check Valve

Overview

This 90-degree elbow grease fitting is engineered for reliable lubricant delivery in industrial machinery and mechanical systems. The ball check valve design prevents backflow and contamination, while the hexagonal body ensures secure installation and removal with standard wrenching tools. Built from zinc-plated steel with precision machining, this fitting integrates seamlessly into lubrication systems where perpendicular feed angles are required. Pair this with flexible grease hose assemblies to create complete lubrication circuits, or stock complementary straight-feed grease fittings for comprehensive system coverage.

Key Features

  • 90-Degree Elbow Configuration: Directs grease flow perpendicular to the mounting plane, ideal for space-constrained applications
  • Ball Check Valve: Integral check mechanism prevents backflow and seals against contaminant ingress between lubrication cycles
  • Hexagonal Body: Machined flats enable secure installation and removal with standard hex wrenches—reduces stripping risk and installation time
  • Male Threaded Connection: Precision-cut threads for reliable, leak-free mounting into tapped bosses
  • Zinc-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating protects against moisture and oxidation in industrial environments
  • Precision Machining: Smooth bore and fine thread tolerances ensure consistent fit and performance across production batches

Why Distributors Choose This Fitting

Reliable System Integration: The ball check valve is a field-proven feature that eliminates costly downtime from contaminated lubrication lines. Your customers depend on fitting integrity—this design delivers it.

Inventory Efficiency: The 90-degree elbow is a workhorse configuration. Stock this alongside straight fittings to cover the majority of machinery lubrication layouts without excessive SKU sprawl.

Installation Confidence: The hexagonal body is not cosmetic—it's a practical advantage. Technicians can install and service these fittings quickly without risk of cam-out or thread damage. Fast installation means faster service calls and higher customer satisfaction.

Margin-Friendly Pricing: Grease fittings are high-turnover, competitively priced items. This design balances durability and cost, allowing healthy margins on bulk orders while remaining competitive on end-user pricing.
