Grease Fitting Hoses
Grease Hose Fittings for Reliable Lubrication
Grease gun hoses, also known as grease hose fittings, are nylon or rubber extensions that connect the gun to the coupler. The flex hose transports the lubricant from the gun to the
grease fitting, allowing flexible access to fittings even in tight or awkward spaces. These hoses are available in multiple sizes and different designs that accommodate handheld or air/battery grease guns. The threaded ends of the hoses are coupler-compatible and pair with a variety of different grease zerks.
Flexible grease hoses are one of several
grease fitting tools & tool parts that Huyett has to offer. Other lubrication tools include:
- Grease Guns: Components that are loaded with grease to deliver grease to a zerk; available in multiple styles for both small and high-volume use.
- Grease Couplers: Gun attachments with internal jaws that snap over the zerk nipple and facilitate a smooth and controlled grease flow to the application.
- Grease Fitting Tool Parts & Accessories: A category with a variety of couplers, pipe extensions, and other accessories.
- Grease Fitting Tools: Mutli-tools and drive tools for installing and/or removing drive type and threaded zerks.
- Oil Cans: Container for light oils and lower-viscosity lubricants used in general maintenance, like bicycle chains and door hinges.
Product Benefits
Grease hoses provide lubrication applications with several benefits, including:
- Proper Lubrication: Grease zerks are often left without maintenance if they are not readily visible or easily accessible. Hoses offer the flexibility to keep up maintenance, even on hard-to-reach fittings.
- Versatility: Available in multiple styles and sizes, grease hoses are compatible with a wide range of lubrication fittings and accessories.
- Durability: These hoses are highly corrosion resistant, reusable, and flexible (with spring additions available), making them both durable and reliable for long-term use as long as they are well maintained.

Are Grease Fitting Hoses Compatible with Different Grease Guns and Couplers?

How To Maintain a Hose for Grease Guns
Regularly inspect them for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Clean the hoses after each use to prevent the buildup of grease and debris, which can cause blockages and reduce performance. Store the hoses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals to prevent material degradation.
Grease Hose Alternatives
Huyett also offers rigid and flexible grease gun pipe extensions to help reach tight spaces with more stability.
- Rigid Pipes: These gun extension pipes provide a sturdy, nonflexible way to transport grease to a fitting and are available in straight and angled styles.
- Flexible Pipes: These pipes for grease guns slide over hoses to lock them in a rigid position, making the hose use more versatile.
