Value Collection CD553071 Taper Thread Grease Fitting M8 X 1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD553071 is a taper thread grease fitting designed for use in standard lubrication systems across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications. This fitting features an M8 x 1.00 thread size and a zinc plated finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance in typical shop and field environments. Sold in a pack of 10, the CD553071 is well suited for maintenance shops, fleet service operations, and industrial facilities that require reliable, consistent lubrication points across multiple pieces of equipment. Installation requires only a basic grease gun and a wrench to seat the fitting securely into a taper-threaded port.

Taper thread grease fittings like the CD553071 are commonly installed in bearings, joints, pivots, and chassis components on light and heavy equipment. The tapered thread form creates a pressure-tight seal as the fitting is driven into the port, eliminating the need for additional sealant in most applications. The M8 x 1.00 metric thread size is a common specification found on European and Asian-manufactured equipment, agricultural machinery, and general industrial assemblies. Mechanics, millwrights, and fleet technicians typically install these fittings during preventive maintenance intervals or when replacing damaged or stripped grease ports.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.00 taper thread form creates a self-sealing fit in compatible ports
• Zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance in general-duty environments
• Pack of 10 supports batch replacement or multi-point lubrication jobs
• Compact, low-profile design suitable for tight clearance installations
• Compatible with standard grease gun coupler fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation taper thread grease fitting for equipment with M8 x 1.00 metric taper-threaded lubrication ports.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriately sized wrench; do not over-tighten, as the tapered thread can crack housings if driven past hand-tight plus a moderate snug turn. Ensure the receiving port is clean and free of debris before threading in the fitting. No thread sealant is typically required due to the taper thread design, but follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines where applicable. Always relieve system pressure and wipe fittings clean before attaching a grease gun.
