Also commonly referred to as “pipe plugs”, Grease Fitting Plugs are designed to seal threaded lubrication ports and openings to prevent contamination, leakage, corrosion, and damage to critical lubrication points. While they may seem like a simple component, selecting the proper grease fitting plug is important for maintaining equipment reliability and long-term performance. Grease Fitting…

Read MoreHigh Pressure Grease Guns – for Industrial Use Only
Our high pressure lever action grease guns are 100% made in the USA and are the most durable and dependable guns available, outperforming and outlasting conventional commodity grease guns. These grease guns deliver up to 15,000 PSI and are suitable to dispense grease, sealants, fluids, packings, and highly viscous lubricants. Engineered for high temperature and harsh environment applications such as offshore oil and gas rigs where steam, hot oil, and hot compressed gas are commonplace. The ability to deliver grease at pressures up to 15,000 PSI provides more effective lubrication for high contact equipment such as pumps, valves (including pipeline 6A-6d), and rotating machinery. Other common applications include pipelines, pumping & compressor stations, refineries & chemical plants, steel mills, lumber & paper mills, asphalt, rubber, water & sewage treatment plants, heavy equipment, manufacturing, mining, marine, industrial, and municipal utilities.

Read MoreGrease Fitting Accessories – Extensions, Adapters, and More
When designing equipment that requires lubrication via grease fittings, it is always best to engineer it so the fittings can be accessed easily for ongoing lubrication/maintenance – grease fittings are meant to be greased after all. But not every machine, or the maintenance worker responsible for lubricating the machinery, is designed with lubrication as the top priority. Furthermore, as machinery gets upgrades or customizations over the years, the convenience of easy access to grease fittings is often sacrificed to make room for the enhancement. These are a few of the common reasons explaining the need for the grease fitting accessories shown below. In many instances, grease fitting accessories are the difference between proper lubrication of equipment and no lubrication, which can ultimately lead to mechanical failures.
Grease Fitting Adapters
Grease Fitting Extensions are used to extend the area where a fitting is being installed. Simply screw the male end of the extension into the bearing housing or whatever component the fitting is lubricating and attach the fitting to the opposite/female end. Grease fitting extensions can provide over ½ inch extra access, which is often enough to overcome any ‘flush’ mounted components that may be obstructing access to the fitting. Extensions can also be attached to other types of grease fitting adapters to improve access as needed.
Read MoreGrease Fitting Kits – A Must Have for the Lubrication Toolbox
Most maintenance professionals responsible for equipment lubrication at any given facility will tell you they’ve encountered situations where grease fittings needed to be replaced, but they didn’t have the right size or type on-hand for the fix……which explains why you will most likely find a grease fitting assortment kit in their toolbox……. usually several of them. Grease fitting kits are designed for convenience and in many situations such as the one described above and are a huge time-saver. And at a discounted/volume pricing, they are a money-saver as well.
It’s true, we can configure grease fitting assortment kits in an infinite number of ways (and we do customize kits upon request), but we’ve applied our 35+ years of experience in configuring the following assortments as they most often meet the needs of the lubrication specialist (or the OEM or even the home hobbyist). The fittings are packaged in a heavy-duty translucent polypropylene box which features five adjustable columns, a locking lid, and a glossy identification chart in the cover.
Read MoreSolutions for Accessing Hidden or Guarded Grease Fittings
Remote lubrication systems are the best solution for accessing hidden or guarded grease fittings in hard to reach or dangerous areas, and they even make the job of keeping them lubricated quick and easy as well! Remote lubrication systems can be configured in almost infinite configurations, but the core equipment required includes: a Junction Block, Tube Connectors, Bulkhead Connectors, and Hose or Tubing.
Always invest in a remote lubrication system whenever you find yourself in a situation where you need to disassemble equipment or torque your body in inhumane positions to access grease fittings. First-time setup takes a little extra time, but the time spent is well worth the effort and time saved in the long run! Once the remote lube system is setup you simply dispense a few pumps of grease at the easy-to-access junction block to lubricate multiple hard-to-access grease fittings.
