Alemite AL1618-B Hydraulic Straight Grease Fitting

Product Description

The ALEMITE AL1618-B is a hydraulic straight grease fitting with a 1/8-inch PT male thread connection. It is a standard Zerk-style fitting used to introduce grease into a bearing, joint, or pivot point through a grease gun coupler. The straight configuration allows direct access in applications where angled fittings are not required. At 0.02 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for high-volume service work. Licensed mechanics, equipment technicians, and lubrication specialists install these fittings as part of routine preventive maintenance on machinery and mobile equipment.

This fitting is appropriate for use in industrial, agricultural, construction, and automotive applications wherever a straight-access grease point is needed. The 1/8-inch PT male thread is a common thread form found on bearings, linkages, chassis components, and general machinery. It mates with standard grease gun couplers and accepts National Pipe Taper thread ports. This fitting is sold individually and is well suited for replacement of worn, stripped, or damaged grease fittings during scheduled maintenance intervals.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by equipment technicians or maintenance mechanics using an appropriately sized wrench or socket. Relieve any system pressure and ensure the equipment is de-energized or safely locked out before replacing a grease fitting. Thread the fitting in by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a wrench to seat it snugly without over-torquing the port. After installation, purge the old grease from the joint using a grease gun before returning the equipment to service.
