Accessories

The following accessories are available for such purposes as fitting Auto Greases into sockets other than 1/4 BSP, for installing them at a distance from lubrication points (for convenience of access or to remove them from extremes of temperature), for coupling two or more together to increase lubricant input, and for fitting them into pressurised systems. They are intended as semi-permanent fixtures and (if required at all) need only be purchased when first installing Auto Greases. Once the accessories are in place, only the spent Auto Greases need be replaced. Prices for all these accessories and fittings may be obtained from a separate price list.

Extension tubes of up to 2 metres in length can be used but if they are over 50 cm in length they may increase the discharge duration and reduce the lubricant input rate. Auto Grease fittings have been carefully selected for their smooth bores and freedom from internal constrictions that could impede the flow of grease. If fittings or tubing other than standard Auto Grease accessories are used, it is important that these should have an internal bore of at least 5 mm. (Many other fittings have internal passages of smaller bore than that of the tubing with which they are designed to be used).

MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION are indicated by the suffixes to the accessory numbers as follows (/**):

B = brass, C = copper, MI = malleable iron, NB = nickel-plated brass, NS = nickel=plated steel, P = plastic, S = steel., SS = stainless steel, ZB = zinc-plated brass, ZM = zinc-plated malleable iron.

THREAD TYPES are indicated by the suffixes to the thread sizes as follows:

BSP = British Standard Pipe, F = female, M = male, P = parallel, T = taper.

 

Typical Auto Grease Mounting Arrangements

A rigid extension tube assembly.

A Flexible extension tube assembly for use with a constructed bracket. NB The bracket is not supplied.

A flexible extension tube assembly for use in conjunction with a Mounting Bracket.

A brush lubricating assembly for applying oil to a chain drive or slide bearing. NB The bracket is not supplied.

An inverted mounting assembly as an alternative method of fitting an oil-filled Auto Grease.

A twin mounting assembly for fitting two Auto Greases to a single lubrication point to double the lubricant input.

An unsuitable assembly. If the two lubrication points vary in their resistance to flow, lubricant will flow preferentially to the point offering the least resistance.
