Alemite 338803 Drum Follower Grease Gun

Product Description

The ALEMITE 338803 is a drum follower designed for use with compatible grease guns to draw lubricant directly from bulk grease drums. Drum followers eliminate the need to manually load cartridges or suction-fill the grease gun cylinder, allowing continuous lubrication work from a large-volume supply. This type of accessory is commonly used in fleet maintenance, industrial facilities, and heavy equipment service environments where high grease consumption makes bulk drum supply practical. Installation and use are handled by lubrication technicians and maintenance mechanics.

The 338803 drum follower suits operations that rely on bulk grease drums rather than standard 14.5-ounce cartridges. Typical applications include shop floor lubrication of bearings, chassis fittings, and heavy machinery where frequent reloading of a grease gun would slow production. This follower is paired with a compatible ALEMITE grease gun to form a bulk-feed lubrication system. Specific drum sizes and grease gun model compatibility should be confirmed against ALEMITE product documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Drum followers are installed by lubrication technicians or maintenance mechanics familiar with grease gun equipment. Before attaching the follower, ensure the grease gun is depressurized and the drum is properly secured on a stable surface. Follow the grease gun manufacturer's instructions for attaching and seating the follower to prevent air locks or seal damage. Proper fitting is essential to maintain prime and consistent grease flow during operation.
