Alemite AL301980 Button Head Swivel Grease Fitting

Product Description

The ALEMITE AL301980 is a button head swivel grease fitting designed for use with grease guns in lubrication maintenance applications. The button head profile accepts a swivel-style grease gun coupler, allowing the technician to apply grease at angles that would be difficult or impossible to reach with a straight coupler. This fitting is a single-piece hardware component installed on equipment bearing points, chassis joints, and other grease-lubricated pivot or wear surfaces. Lubrication technicians, fleet mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of fitting as part of routine preventive maintenance programs.

Button head swivel grease fittings like the AL301980 are commonly used in fleet maintenance shops, agricultural equipment service, construction equipment repair, and general industrial settings where lubrication access points are in tight or awkward locations. The swivel feature reduces the risk of coupler blowoff and makes it easier to maintain a seal during grease application, particularly on equipment that cannot be repositioned easily for service access.

Key Features

• Button head profile accepts swivel-style grease gun couplers for angled access
• Swivel design maintains coupler seal during grease application in confined spaces
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds, suitable for use across a wide range of equipment fitting points
• Sold individually, allowing targeted replacement of worn or damaged fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grease fitting for equipment bearing points and lubrication ports that accept a standard button head grease fitting configuration.

Installation Notes

Button head grease fittings are typically installed by mechanics and lubrication technicians using a fitting installation tool or appropriately sized wrench. Always relieve system pressure and wipe the fitting port clean before removing an old fitting or installing a new one to prevent contamination of the lubrication point. Thread the fitting in by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then snug with a wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the port threads or distort the fitting body.
