FAQs

What is the standard of these grease nipples?

These nipples conform to the DIN 71412 standard.

Are these suitable for outdoor machinery?

Yes, the zinc plating provides robust corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor and agricultural applications.

How many nipples are in a pack?

Each pack contains 5 straight grease nipples.

Can these be used to replace angled grease nipples?

Only if there is enough clearance for a grease gun to reach the straight nipple directly.

What material are the nipples made from?

They are made from case-hardened steel with a zinc-plated finish.

Troubleshooting

Grease gun nozzle will not attach to nipple

Ensure the nipple tip is free of dried grease or paint and check that the grease gun coupler is not damaged.

Grease leaking out from around the nipple during use

Check that the nipple is tightened securely and verify the grease gun coupler is fully seated on the nipple head.

Nipple is difficult to thread into the machine

Do not force it. Verify the thread pitch matches your machine port, as forcing the wrong thread will strip the housing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to zinc plating
  • High durability thanks to case-hardened steel
  • Meets industry-standard DIN 71412 specifications
  • Convenient 5-pack quantity for project needs

Cons

  • Straight design may not fit tight or recessed spaces
  • Requires specific thread matching to prevent stripped ports
  • Not suitable for high-pressure systems exceeding DIN ratings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these nipples, ensure the receiving port is clean and free of old, hardened grease or debris. Use a properly sized wrench to thread the nipple into the port, ensuring you do not overtighten, which can damage the threads. For optimal care, wipe the tip of the grease nipple with a clean cloth before and after every lubrication cycle; this prevents contaminants from being pushed into the bearing during the greasing process. Regularly inspect for signs of rust or mechanical failure, replacing them immediately if the ball check valve fails to spring back into position.
