Description

Grease Fittings (Zerk Nipple Type) - Zinc-Plated Steel

Brief Overview

These are standard-duty grease fittings designed for centralized lubrication systems across industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and automotive applications. The ball-nipple design provides a reliable, sealed injection point that prevents contamination while allowing consistent grease delivery to critical joints and bearings. Whether you're stocking basic maintenance inventory or supplying OEM assembly lines, these fittings are an essential component. For comprehensive lubrication solutions, consider pairing these with flexible grease hoses to create complete distribution systems.

Key Features

  • Ball-Nipple Design: Integral check-ball prevents backflow and maintains a sealed connection when not in use
  • Hexagonal Shoulder: Wrench flats allow secure installation and removal without nipple damage
  • Zinc-Chromate Plating: Corrosion-resistant finish suitable for indoor and light outdoor environments
  • Threaded Male Body: Standard coarse threads for direct installation into drilled lubrication ports
  • Precision Machining: Concentric nipple design ensures reliable grease flow and consistent performance

Business Advantages for Distributors
