Value Collection BDNA--7579-1 Drive-in Grease Fitting 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA--7579-1 is a drive-in grease fitting sized at 5/16 inches, designed for use in lubrication maintenance on mechanical equipment. Drive-in fittings seat by press-fit installation into a pre-drilled hole rather than threading, making them a common replacement in applications where the original threaded fitting has stripped or where a smooth bore port is preferred. This fitting weighs approximately 0.01 pounds and is sold individually, though it is ordered in minimum quantities of 25 units. It is a standard maintenance supply item handled by HVAC technicians, millwrights, and general mechanical service personnel during scheduled lubrication service.

Drive-in grease fittings are used across a wide range of mechanical assemblies including motors, bearings, linkages, and fan assemblies found in HVAC, industrial, and general mechanical systems. The 5/16-inch drive-in style is a common size found in both light commercial and residential equipment. These fittings accept a standard grease gun coupler and allow technicians to reestablish a grease point on equipment where a threaded port has been damaged or where a press-fit port was originally specified by the equipment manufacturer.

Key Features

• Drive-in press-fit installation requires no threading, suitable for smooth bore ports
• 5/16-inch fitting size compatible with standard grease gun couplers
• Lightweight construction at 0.01 pounds per fitting
• Sold as individual units with a minimum order quantity of 25
• Suitable for re-establishing grease points on stripped or damaged threaded ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement drive-in grease fitting for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16-inch press-fit lubrication port.

Installation Notes

Drive-in grease fittings are installed by mechanical and HVAC service technicians using a press or hammer-drive method into a clean, properly sized bore. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing lubrication points. Ensure the bore is free of debris and the fitting is fully seated before applying grease to prevent leakage or fitting ejection under pressure. Follow equipment manufacturer specifications for lubrication intervals and grease type.
