The Lumatic CC1-S Conical Connector is designed for mechanics and DIYers who need a reliable way to apply grease with a standard grease gun, especially on challenging or damaged grease nipples. Its key benefit is its ability to form a tight seal and deliver grease effectively even on worn fittings. A potential caveat is that it requires a compatible grease gun with a 1/8in BSP thread connection.

A conical connector has a tapered, cone-like shape at the end, designed to insert into the opening of a grease nipple, creating a seal by pressing against its internal components.
You can use it with any grease gun that has a 1/8in BSP thread connection. This is a common standard for many manual grease guns.
A grease nipple, also known as a Zerk fitting, is a small metal fitting used for supplying lubricant to a mechanical component.
The conical shape is designed to enter and seal within the ball check of a grease nipple, even if the nipple's outer edges are worn or slightly deformed, preventing grease from escaping around the connection.
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. 1/8in BSP is a common thread size used for fittings in many tools and plumbing applications.
While the connector itself is robust, its performance at high pressure depends on the quality of the grease gun it's attached to and the condition of the grease nipple.
The product comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied, you can contact us for a resolution or return for a refund.
Ensure the connector is securely threaded onto the grease gun and that the grease gun's internal seal is intact. Check for any debris on the threads.
Ensure the conical tip is fully inserted into the grease nipple. If the nipple is severely damaged, the connector may not be able to create a sufficient seal. Try wiggling the connector slightly while applying pressure.
Ensure threads are clean and free of debris. Do not over-tighten. If stuck, try gentle tapping or using a small amount of penetrating oil, then carefully attempt removal.
Setup: To set up the Lumatic CC1-S, simply thread it onto the end of your grease gun's hose or extension pipe. Ensure the connection is snug but avoid over-tightening. The 1/8in BSP thread is standard for most manual grease guns.
Compatibility: This connector is designed to work with all styles of grease nipples. It requires a grease gun that accepts a 1/8in BSP thread. While it is effective for damaged nipples, extremely worn or completely deformed nipples may still pose a challenge.
Care: After use, wipe the connector clean with a dry cloth to remove any excess grease or debris. Store it in a clean, dry place. Periodically inspect the conical tip for any damage that could impede its sealing ability. No lubrication is required for the connector itself.
