Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BC1B grease fitting used for?
A: The BC1B is a grease fitting designed for forklift and material handling equipment masts, carriages, and pivot points. It is compatible with standard grease guns and fits equipment from manufacturers including Toyota, Hyster, Linde, and CAT.
Q: What thread size is the BC1B?
A: The BC1B is a 1/8 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) grease fitting, which is the standard size for most industrial material handling equipment. Confirm your equipment uses 1/8 inch NPT fittings before purchasing.
Q: How do I know if the BC1B grease fitting needs replacement?
A: Replace the BC1B if grease cannot be injected under normal pressure, the fitting is bent or cracked, threads are stripped, or the connection point shows corrosion or leakage. A functioning fitting should accept grease cleanly with minimal pressure.
Q: Can the BC1B be used as a direct replacement for other grease fittings?
A: Yes, the BC1B can replace equivalent 1/8 inch NPT grease fittings from other suppliers, provided the mounting boss and thread type match your equipment. Verify specifications before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
