Grease Gun Couplers
Grease Gun Couplers for Efficient Lubrication
Grease gun couplers, also known as grease couplers or grease gun coupler tips, are cylindrical fittings that attach to the operating end of a
grease fitting hose, ensuring a secure, leak-proof seal. Internal jaws within the component snap over the nipple of a
grease zerk fitting to allow grease to flow smoothly while maintaining a strong seal.
Grease couplers come in several variations to accommodate different lubrication needs. While standard couplers are the most common, narrow and swivel couplers are available for reaching fittings in challenging locations, and others are available to accommodate specific grease fitting types.
- Standard Grease Coupler(or hydraulic coupler): Fits grease fittings with standard nipple profiles; can be used on its own or as a mount for other couplers.
- Quick Connect Couplers: A versatile tip attachment that connects to hydraulic couplers; ideal for in-field and portable use.
- Loader Couplers: Connects the grease gun to a bulk grease barrel, not a zerk; designed for high-volume use.
- Button Head Couplers: Specifically designed to fit the low-profile head of button head zerk fittings, approaching them from the top at a 90° angle.
- Pin-Type Couplers: A unique tip that accommodates the cross pin on a pin type zerk by featuring a slot on the bottom.
- Needle Nozzle: A long, skinny tip that is often attached to grease gun hoses or pipes to reach tight spaces.
- Flush-Type Couper: A pointed coupler with a small tip to reach the inside of a flush zerk.
Some grease couplers can sustain secure connections even at angles up to 50° degrees off the zerk axis, enhancing their versatility in various applications.
