FAQs
What are the dimensions of the organizer box?
The specific dimensions of the organizer box are not provided, but it is designed for compact storage of the 110-piece assortment.
Are these fittings compatible with imperial thread sizes?
No, this kit contains metric thread sizes (M6 x 1, M8 x 1, M10 x 1) and is not directly compatible with standard imperial (SAE) thread sizes.
How do I determine which size fitting to use?
Check the equipment manufacturer's manual for the specified thread size and type of grease fittings. You can also visually inspect existing fittings or measure the threaded port.
Can these fittings be used on outdoor equipment exposed to the elements?
Yes, the galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use. However, regular cleaning and inspection are recommended for longevity.
What is the benefit of having different angles (45°, 90°)?
The angled fittings are designed to reach grease ports that are located in tight or obstructed areas, making lubrication possible where a straight fitting would not fit.
How many of each type of fitting are included?
The kit includes: 60 pcs of M6 x 1 Straight, 20 pcs of M6 x 1 45°, 20 pcs of M6 x 1 90°, 5 pcs of M8 x 1 Straight, and 5 pcs of M10 x 1 Straight.
What type of grease gun should I use with these fittings?
These fittings are compatible with most standard manual grease guns that have a suitable coupler for Zerk-style fittings. Ensure the coupler forms a tight seal.
Troubleshooting
Grease fitting won't thread in
Verify that the thread size (M6, M8, or M10) and pitch match the equipment's port. Ensure the port threads are clean and undamaged. Try starting the threads by hand to prevent cross-threading.
Grease gun won't attach or seal properly
Ensure the grease gun fitting is compatible with the grease fitting's inlet. Check for debris on the fitting's ball check or nipple end. Try a different angle fitting if access is the issue.
Fitting is damaged or corroded
Remove the damaged fitting using an appropriate tool (e.g., a screw extractor or socket if possible) and replace it with a new one from the assortment. Clean the port thoroughly before installing the new fitting.
Difficulty reaching a lubrication point
Utilize the 45° or 90° angle fittings included in the kit to access obstructed grease points. If the angle is still insufficient, consider using a flexible grease hose attachment for your grease gun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Grease fittings, also known as Zerk or grease nipples, are typically installed into a threaded hole on a component requiring lubrication. To install, simply screw the fitting into the designated port using an appropriate wrench or socket. Ensure the threads engage correctly to avoid cross-threading. Hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the component or the fitting.
Compatibility:
This kit includes common metric thread sizes: M6 x 1, M8 x 1, and M10 x 1. Ensure that the threaded port on your equipment matches one of these sizes before installation. The different angles (straight, 45°, 90°) are designed to accommodate various accessibility constraints. Always verify the thread size and pitch required by your machinery's manual or existing fittings.
Care:
To maintain the integrity and function of the grease fittings, keep them clean and free from dirt and debris. After use, wipe them down with a clean cloth. Store the fittings in the provided organizer box to prevent contamination and loss. The galvanized coating offers corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater may require additional protective measures or replacement. Inspect fittings periodically for any signs of damage or wear.
