Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of grease fitting is part 8006685 and what is the thread size?
A: Grease fitting 8006685 is a straight or angled nipple connector for lubrication systems on forklift equipment. Confirm the thread size (typically 1/4-inch or metric equivalent) and shape (straight vs. angled) from your equipment documentation to ensure proper fitment.
Q: Which forklift models and manufacturers use grease fitting 8006685?
A: This grease fitting is compatible with various forklift models from Crown, Toyota, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, and CAT. Verify your exact model and serial range before ordering, as different models and years may use different thread sizes or configurations.
Q: What is the material composition and how does it resist corrosion?
A: Grease fitting 8006685 is typically hardened steel with zinc plating or stainless steel construction to resist corrosion. The plating protects against rust in humid warehouse and cold storage environments, extending service life to 3-5 years under normal conditions.
Q: How long does a grease fitting last and when should it be replaced?
A: Grease fittings typically last 3-5 years in normal forklift service. Replace immediately if the fitting is damaged, cracked, leaking, or becomes difficult to access with a grease gun. Corrosion or visible wear also indicates replacement is needed.
Q: Are there equivalent grease fitting cross-reference numbers for part 8006685?
A: Grease fittings are standardized by thread size and angle. Equivalent parts are available from various suppliers, but thread pitch and configuration must match exactly. Provide us your forklift model and equipment location and we will confirm the correct replacement.
Q: What is the pressure rating for grease fitting 8006685?
A: Standard grease fittings are designed to handle pressures from manual grease guns, typically 6000-8000 PSI. Do not use high-pressure automated systems unless the fitting is specifically rated for it, as over-pressurization can damage the seal.
