The Groz 110-piece Grease Nipple Assortment is a professional-grade collection of high-pressure lubrication fittings. These kits are available in two primary formats: Metric (GFT/KIT/M-110) or SAE/Imperial (GFT/KIT/SAE-110). They are manufactured from case-hardened steel and zinc-plated for maximum durability and corrosion resistance.
Technical Specifications
- Material: Heat-treated EN-1A steel (Hardness: 83 HRC min).
- Max Pressure: 6,000 PSI (413 BAR).
- Finish: Yellow or Silver Zinc Plated (72+ hours salt spray resistance).
- Mechanism: Ball-check with heat-treated springs to prevent grease backflow.
- Standards: Conforms to SAE J534, DIN 71412, and BS 1486.
Key Features
- Hardened Head: The greasing end is accurately hardened to prevent wear from repeated contact with the grease gun coupler.
- Tapered Threads: Designed to create a leak-proof metal-to-metal seal when tightened into a tapped hole.
- Organized Storage: Supplied in a rugged, transparent plastic case with individual compartments for each size/angle, making it easy to identify when a specific size is running low.
Usage Tips
- Angle Selection: Use 45° or 90° nipples for grease points located in tight corners where a straight grease gun coupler cannot fit head-on.
- Thread Identification: Before forcing a nipple into a hole, verify if the thread is Metric or Imperial. Forcing a Metric nipple into an SAE hole (or vice-versa) will strip the threads and require a costly re-tapping.
- Cleaning: Always wipe the head of the nipple with a clean rag before attaching your grease gun to avoid pumping dirt directly into the bearing.
