Value Collection H1627S Thread-forming Grease Fitting

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION H1627S is a thread-forming grease fitting designed to create its own mating threads as it is driven into an unthreaded or damaged port. This eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole, making it a practical solution for field repairs and maintenance on equipment where the original fitting seat has stripped or worn out. The fitting uses a 1/4-18 thread size, a common standard across a wide range of lubrication fittings. It weighs 0.01 pounds. HVAC technicians, plumbers, millwrights, and general maintenance professionals install this type of fitting during routine lubrication service on motors, bearings, and mechanical assemblies.

This fitting is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems wherever a standard zerk-style lubrication point is required. Thread-forming fittings are commonly installed during repair situations where a direct replacement cannot be seated due to thread damage, or where a technician needs to add a grease point to an existing cast or soft-metal housing. The 1/4-18 thread size is widely used in lubrication applications across HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and general mechanical components.

Key Features

• Thread-forming design eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole, ideal for field repair of stripped ports
• 1/4-18 thread size matches common lubrication fitting standards across HVAC and mechanical equipment
• Lightweight construction at 0.01 pounds for easy handling and installation
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without purchasing in bulk

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thread-forming grease fitting for use in mechanical assemblies, motors, bearings, and equipment housings that accept a 1/4-18 grease fitting port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, maintenance mechanics, or plumbers during equipment servicing. Power down and de-energize any equipment before accessing bearing or motor lubrication points. Thread-forming fittings should be driven in carefully with the appropriate wrench or socket to avoid cross-threading or over-driving into soft housings. Follow equipment manufacturer torque and lubrication intervals as specified in the service documentation.
