Grease Nipples for All Lubrication Point Configurations
AIMS Industrial stocks grease nipples — also called grease fittings or zerk fittings — in straight, 45-degree and 90-degree body angles to suit a wide range of machinery and equipment lubrication points. Available in metric and BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread sizes, and in zinc-plated steel and stainless steel materials. Grease nipples are a small but critical maintenance component: blocked or damaged nipples result in under-lubricated bearings and joints, leading to accelerated wear and unexpected equipment failure.
Body Angle — Straight, 45° and 90°
Straight (0°) nipples are the standard fitting used where the grease gun can approach the lubrication point head-on without obstruction. 45° nipples allow the grease gun nozzle to connect at an angle where clearance is limited — common on pivot points, linkages and agricultural equipment. 90° nipples are specified where the fitting is recessed or where the lubrication point is perpendicular to the grease gun approach — frequently found on steering components, wheel hubs and conveyor systems.
Thread Sizes — Metric and BSP
The most common metric thread sizes are M6 x 1.0, M8 x 1.0 and M10 x 1.0. These are standard across European and Japanese machinery. BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads — 1/8"" BSP and 1/4"" BSP — are found on older Australian, British and American equipment. Always verify the thread type and pitch in your equipment's service manual before ordering. Using an incorrect thread will damage the housing and may not seal correctly under grease pressure.
Material Selection
Zinc-plated steel is the standard material for general industrial use — adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered machinery, and economical enough to replace as part of routine maintenance. Stainless steel grease nipples are specified for food processing equipment, marine machinery, outdoor agricultural equipment and anywhere moisture, chemicals or washdown environments are present. Stainless nipples are compatible with standard grease guns and greases.
Bulk Supply for Maintenance Teams
Grease nipples are typically purchased in bulk for plant maintenance and fleet servicing programmes. For volume orders or mixed-size packs, request a quote or contact our team to discuss your requirements.
