Product Description
Standard Metric Zerk Grease Fitting
Direct replacement zerk fitting (grease nipple) for electric lift truck lubrication systems. This sealed entry point allows controlled grease injection into pivot pins, bearings, and mast components using a standard grease gun. Features a spring-loaded check ball mechanism that prevents grease backflow and contamination when the gun is disconnected. Manufactured from hardened steel with nickel-plated finish for corrosion resistance in warehouse environments.
