Grease Nipple 90°

A Grease Nipple 90° is designed to allow grease to be applied to bearings and other moving parts at a right angle. This makes it easier to lubricate components in tight or hard-to-reach spaces, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear. It is commonly used in automotive and industrial machinery maintenance.

To install the Grease Nipple 90°, first clean the threaded hole to remove dirt and old grease. Screw the nipple in by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten it securely with a wrench. Avoid over-tightening as this can damage the threads or nipple; a snug fit is sufficient for effective lubrication.

Most standard grease guns are compatible with the Grease Nipple 90°, but ensure the coupler fits securely onto the nipple to prevent grease leakage. Using the correct size coupler improves efficiency and prevents damage to the nipple. If unsure, consult your grease gun’s specifications or contact our Trade Partners for advice.

A common mistake is applying excessive grease pressure, which can cause seals to rupture or grease to leak out. To avoid this, apply grease slowly and monitor the component for signs of over-lubrication. Proper pressure ensures the grease reaches the bearing without causing damage.

Compatibility depends on the thread size and type of the grease nipple required by your machinery. Since specifications are not detailed here, check your equipment manual or consult with our Trade Partners to confirm the correct grease nipple for your application. Using the wrong nipple can lead to poor lubrication and equipment damage.
