Alemite 7498-A Grease Control Valve 1/2 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The ALEMITE 7498-A is a grease control valve designed to regulate the flow of lubricants in industrial and commercial lubrication systems. Featuring a 1/2 inch Female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) inlet thread, this valve provides a secure, leak-resistant connection to standard pipe fittings. It is compatible with oils and is suited for use in centralized lubrication systems where precise flow control is required. Lubrication technicians and maintenance professionals install this valve as part of grease distribution lines to manage output and prevent backflow or uncontrolled discharge.

This control valve is appropriate for use in plant maintenance, fleet service, and industrial equipment lubrication applications. It fits into existing 1/2 inch FNPT pipe systems without modification, making it a straightforward replacement or addition to centralized lube systems. The valve is sold individually and is suitable for both new installations and service repairs on existing lubrication lines.
