Alemite AL1885 Drive Flush Fitting 1/4 Inch Drill

Product Description

The ALEMITE AL1885 is a drive flush fitting designed for grease lubrication systems where a low-profile, surface-flush connection is required. This fitting is installed by driving it into a pre-drilled 1/4-inch hole, creating a secure grease-receiving point without a protruding nipple. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial equipment where clearance is limited and a standard threaded zerk fitting is not practical. Lubrication technicians and millwrights typically install this type of fitting during equipment servicing or new assembly work.

Drive flush fittings like the AL1885 are used wherever a flush-mount grease point is needed on machinery, linkages, or chassis components. The drive-in installation method eliminates the need for threaded bosses, making this fitting suitable for sheet metal, cast housings, and fabricated assemblies where tapping threads is not feasible. It accepts a standard grease coupler for routine lubrication service.

Key Features

• Drive-in installation into a 1/4-inch drilled hole — no threading required
• Flush-mount profile eliminates protruding nipple for tight-clearance applications
• Accepts standard grease gun couplers for routine service
• Lightweight construction at 0.01 pounds — minimal impact on assembly weight
• Single-piece unit sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for equipment requiring a flush-mount drive-in grease fitting in a 1/4-inch drilled hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by aligning the fitting over a clean 1/4-inch drilled hole and driving it flush with a hammer or press. Ensure the receiving surface is free of burrs and debris before installation to achieve a secure seat. Lubrication technicians should verify the fitting is fully seated and flush before applying grease pressure. No threaded tools are required, but proper hole diameter is critical for a secure fit.
