- Size: The fitting has a 1/8″ nominal size with a 28 threads per inch (TPI) BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) thread, which is a common threading standard for pipe fittings. BSPT is used for creating a tight, leak-free seal in threaded connections.
- Function: The grease fitting is designed to allow for the injection of grease or lubricant into a machine or mechanical system to reduce friction and wear on moving parts. It is often used in systems like bearings, joints, or other equipment that requires regular lubrication.
- Design: Grease fittings often feature a small ball check valve that allows grease to enter but prevents it from leaking out once applied.
- Application: This fitting is typically found in various types of machinery, automotive components, and industrial equipment, ensuring smooth operation and preventing damage due to friction.
