Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 27802580 grease fitting used for?
A: The 27802580 is a grease fitting for forklift and material handling equipment lubrication points. It allows technicians to apply grease to pivot pins, bearing assemblies, and articulation points without dismantling equipment.
Q: Which forklift brands does the 27802580 fit?
A: The 27802580 grease fitting is compatible with forklifts from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Linde, Jungheinrich, and Hyster. Verify your specific model and serial number for fitment confirmation.
Q: What material is this grease fitting made from?
A: The 27802580 is manufactured from chrome-plated steel or stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The valve mechanism is precision-engineered to prevent grease leakage while remaining easy to access with standard grease gun applicators.
Q: How do I identify if a grease fitting needs replacement?
A: Replace the fitting if grease is leaking around the valve stem, if the valve is seized and will not accept grease from a gun, or if the fitting is bent or damaged. A failing fitting prevents proper lubrication and increases equipment downtime risk.
Q: Are there any compatibility issues with different grease types?
A: The 27802580 fitting itself is grease-type neutral. However, equipment compatibility requires using the grease specified in your forklift maintenance manual. Mixing incompatible grease types can cause separation or degradation. Always use the recommended grease grade and type.
