The fitting has a barbed end for installation in untapped holes or in old or oversized holes so thread tapping or fitting replacement can be avoided. It is made of a nickel-copper alloy and zinc-plated for resistance to corrosion. It is equipped with a ball check valve to prevent dirt and contaminants from entering the lubricated areas and has a 1/4" length, 5/16" diameter serrated shank for forming a secure seal. This grease fitting is suitable for use in automotive, agriculture, and other lubrication applications. Tube fittings are components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and other materials that resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (also called one-touch). Push-to-connect connections do not require tools or sealants. Tube fittings are used in various applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others. Alemite manufactures lubrication and fluid handling systems and components. The company, founded in 1918, is headquartered in Fort Mill, SC.
