Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Compact Grease Gun (FAIGGMP) is designed for users needing to lubricate machinery in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is its compact, pistol-style design with versatile nozzle placement, allowing access where larger guns cannot reach. A potential limitation is its smaller 3oz capacity, requiring more frequent refills for extensive tasks. Key features include a 3,500 PSI output, dual filling options (cartridge or bulk), and two nozzle mounting points.

FAQs

What is the capacity of this grease gun?

The Faithfull Compact Grease Gun has a capacity of 94g (3oz), accepting standard grease cartridges or bulk fill of the same volume.

Can I mount the nozzle on either side?

Yes, this model features two optional nozzle locations, allowing you to mount the nozzle on either the side or the end of the grease gun for improved accessibility.

What type of grease can I use?

This grease gun is compatible with most standard lubricating greases, whether in 3oz cartridges or for bulk loading.

What does the 1/8 in BSPT thread refer to?

This is the standard thread size for the grease gun's nozzle outlet, ensuring compatibility with common grease hoses and couplers.

How do I prime the grease gun?

After loading grease (cartridge or bulk), operate the pistol grip repeatedly. You may need to use the follower rod to push grease towards the pump mechanism initially until grease starts to dispense from the nozzle.

What is the warranty period?

The Faithfull Compact Grease Gun comes with a 5-year guarantee.

Is this grease gun suitable for professional use?

Yes, with its 3,500 PSI output and durable design, it is suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.

Troubleshooting

Grease gun not dispensing grease.

Ensure the follower rod is fully engaged and pushing grease towards the pump. Check that the barrel is securely attached. Operate the pistol grip multiple times to prime the system. If using a cartridge, ensure the inner seal is pierced or removed. Check for air pockets by slightly loosening the barrel and allowing air to escape before re-tightening.

Grease leaking from the barrel seal.

Inspect the barrel seal and piston O-ring for damage or wear. Clean the seal area and re-seat the O-ring. If damaged, replace the O-ring or relevant seal parts.

Low pressure output.

Verify that the grease cartridge or bulk fill is not empty. Check for any blockages in the nozzle or hydraulic connector. Ensure the follower rod is properly engaged and creating sufficient pressure.

Difficulty attaching cartridge.

Ensure you are using a standard 3oz (94g) cartridge. Remove any plastic seals or protectors from the cartridge end if applicable. Make sure the follower rod is aligned correctly before reassembling the barrel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for tight and confined spaces.
  • High pressure output (3,500 PSI).
  • Flexible filling options (cartridge or bulk).
  • Versatile nozzle placement (side or end mount).
  • Suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.
  • Robust 5-year guarantee.

Cons

  • Smaller capacity (3oz) may require frequent reloads for large jobs.
  • Pistol grip may be less ergonomic for prolonged, heavy-duty use compared to lever types.
  • Bulk filling can be messier than cartridge replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Loading a Cartridge: Remove the follower rod. Unscrew the main barrel. Insert a 3oz (94g) grease cartridge, ensuring the follower rod pushes the cartridge seal (if present). Reassemble the barrel and re-insert the follower rod.
  2. Bulk Loading: Remove the follower rod and barrel. Fill the barrel with grease directly. Reassemble the barrel and re-insert the follower rod, pushing it firmly to prime the pump.
  3. Nozzle Attachment: Choose your desired nozzle location (side or end) and securely thread the hydraulic connector into the chosen port.
  4. Priming: Operate the pistol grip repeatedly until grease dispenses from the nozzle. You may need to use the follower rod to push grease towards the pump mechanism initially.

Compatibility:

  • Accepts standard 3oz (94g) grease cartridges.
  • Uses a 1/8 in BSPT threaded connection for the nozzle and compatible hoses/couplings.
  • Suitable for most common lubricating greases.

Care:

  • After each use, clean any excess grease from the exterior of the gun with a dry cloth.
  • Store in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination.
  • Periodically check the barrel seal and piston for wear, replacing if necessary.
  • Avoid dropping the grease gun to prevent damage to the mechanism or barrel.
