MIDWEST FASTENER CORP

MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 37583 1/4" Zinc Plated Steel Straight Drive-In Grease Fittings

SKU CH-SD2A-Y8JQZ

1/4" zinc-plated steel straight drive-in grease fittings for permanent lubrication points

  • Straight drive-in design for quick installation
  • Zinc plated steel resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • 1/4 inch size fits standard lubrication points
  • Permanently installed fitting ensures leak-free grease delivery
  • Compatible with standard grease guns for easy maintenance

Straight Drive-In Grease Fitting

The 1/4" zinc-plated steel fitting installs permanently by driving it into a prepared hole, creating a nipple for a grease gun. Mechanics and maintenance crews use it on equipment where a threaded port is not practical. The simple press-in design suits agricultural, industrial and automotive lubrication points.

Behaviour under sustained lubrication cycles

Zinc plating resists corrosion during repeated exposure to grease and environmental moisture. The steel body maintains its shape under the pressure of a grease gun, keeping the ball check functional over many service intervals. No moving parts inside the fitting mean wear is limited to the mating gun coupler.

Upgrade from threaded or worn fittings

This drive-in style replaces fittings that have stripped threads or leaked at the base, and it avoids the need to tap new threads in soft metal housings. The jump is worth it when a quick, permanent installation is preferred over threading and when the mounting material accepts a press fit. Buyers who need a threaded connection for high-vibration joints should select a different style.
