(Pack of 6) Samoa Heavy Duty Grease Gun End - Hydraulic Coupler 1/8bsp

Product Information

We awant to make it easy for you to shop our range of grease connectors, so we've outlined some key terms that will help you make a confident purchasing decision when browsing our wide range of products. Material - Grease nipples are generally available in steel, brass, carbon steel, stainless steel, and Monel®. The material will affect the strength and overall longevity of your grease fitting. Metric button head - Designed to grease metric button head fittings, these connectors feature a smaller clearance than traditional couplers providing a tighter seal. If you’re using a different grease than before, you’ll need to pump a small quantity of the new lubricant out through the nozzle of the grease gun until none of the old grease is left inside At Cromwell.co.uk you can discover a wide selection of grease guns to suit your needs from well-known brands like Yamoto®, PCL® and Lumatic®.

Grease nipples - Grease nipples provide a secure lubrication point for mechanical components such as bearing houses. They offer a secure connection to grease guns to accurately apply lubrication to moving systems.There are several common formats for grease fittings, with the most common being a standard-sized convex shape that fits snugly against the typical concave end of a grease gun nozzle. This combination allows the grease gun to be attached easily from various angles and still make an air-tight connection, meaning fewer instances of lubricant oozing out around the outsides of the grease nipple rather than being forced into the voids as intended. The standard features of any grease gun tool - triggers, hoses and so on - tend to be fairly consistent across the full range of options for different formats and models. In other words, nearly all the different types of grease guns look fairly similar, regardless of whether they’re entirely manual, air-fed, battery-powered, or operated with a hand pump mechanism. In aiming to better understand how a grease gun works, people may wonder why it’s called a grease gun in the first place. The simple answer is that the tool’s shape and basic mechanisms give rise to the name. Grease nipples are part of a wider category of fittings, with each having their own strengths and desired applications. Here are a few of the most common fittings for your consideration: SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers and is a professional association which aims to standardise measurments, components and standards in the automotive, aerospace and commercial vehicle industries.

Grease guns can be adapted to each machine with different connectors, couplers and hoses to reach into tight spaces located centrally and out of reach. An important part of machine maintenance is the careful and precise application of lubricating grease. Over or under greasing mechanical components can cause a wide range of issues that include overheating, premature wear, and costly damage. Essentially grease gun connectors, also know as grease gun couplers link the hose or extension to the grease fitting head. They allow the gun to then dispense the lubricant. They are integral to lubrication systems and come in a variety of types and sizes to accommodate the correct fitting to the lubrication system being used.

Hydraulic nipples - Hydraulic nipples have a flat face design and can be used with hydraulic grease equipment.

Grease gun connectors are commonly used in any industry in which grease is often used and needs to be dispensed in a controlled manner. This includes the manufacturing, automotive, maintenance and engineering environments and industries. If you're looking for personalised recommendations on the right type of grease fitting for your job, ask our experts for specialised advice. An unsung hero in manufacturing and maintenance, the grease gun lubricates mechanical parts to ensure the optimum performance of machinery. Designed for control and precise application, a grease gun can be upgraded with various connectors and adapters to create the perfect lubricant delivery system for each machine. Always clean up any spillages immediately as grease left around on surfaces and floors can be a hazard They are fundamental to proper machine maintenance, allowing grease to be applied in an effective manner. Due to their importance, machines often become faulty or damaged when grease fittings are neglected or misused.The size of the grease head fitting - Ensure that the sizing of the coupler is compatible with the sizing of the grease head fitting. The type of grease head fitting - Standard fittings will require a standard coupler, whereas button head fittings require a button head coupler. By adding grease nipples as a way to dispense lubricant onto moving parts, you can greatly reduce the chance of machine ineffectiveness or failure. Hand pump grease guns - This type features a pressurised pump handle or piston as part of the tool, which is primed before use to create a build-up of pressure, and subsequently released via a trigger mechanism to force the lubricant through the fitting

Don’t mix old and new greases - use only the correct type of lubricant for the job and parts you’re working with Always wear protective safety glasses and gloves when using grease guns, as the lubricant will be highly pressurised Coating - Nowadays, many grease fittings have a chromate coating to enhance durability and limit corrosion. Definitely worth considering in scenarios where rust or seizing could be an issue.Safety vent fittings - Safety vent fittings are similar to standard grease nipples; however they have a vertical slot that serves as an air vent as grease is applied. This also lets users know when enough lubricant has been applied, as it will begin to flow out the slot. Standard button head - Standard button head couplers are compatible with standard button head grease fittings and feature steel or rubber inserts. Pneumatic grease guns - Air-powered models that attach to a compressor via a length of hose, offering greater power for industrial or larger commercial applications To help you understand the grease gun range and applications a little better, we've broken down a key standard associated with the product. Output - The amount of grease delivered with each pump varies in different guns. Understanding the amount needed for each machine can help to ensure that you don't over or under grease machinery and cause damage to seals and motors.
