Product Information

Full details

This Lumatic HC1S Hydraulic Connector is designed for mechanics and maintenance professionals who need a reliable and durable extension for their grease guns. Its key benefit is providing a straight, rigid delivery path with a heavy-duty 4-jaw connector for secure attachment to hydraulic grease nipples, ensuring efficient grease application. A minor caveat is its specific 1/8in BSP thread size, which should be confirmed for compatibility with existing equipment.

FAQs

What is the thread size of this hydraulic connector?

The Lumatic HC1S Hydraulic Connector features a 1/8in BSP thread connection.

How does the 4-jaw connector work?

The 4-jaw connector is designed to grip a standard hydraulic grease nipple securely, allowing for efficient grease transfer under pressure without slipping.

Can this connector be used with flexible hoses?

Yes, if the flexible hose has a compatible 1/8in BSP thread to connect to the Lumatic HC1S.

What types of grease nipples is this compatible with?

It is designed for standard hydraulic grease nipples.

Is this connector suitable for high-pressure applications?

Yes, the heavy-duty construction is suitable for typical grease gun pressures used in lubrication tasks.

How should I clean the connector?

Wipe the connector clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For stubborn grease, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by drying.

What is the main advantage of a rigid connector over a flexible one?

A rigid connector provides a more stable and direct path for grease delivery, ideal for precise application and accessing confined spaces where a flexible hose might kink or bend.

Troubleshooting

Grease leaking from the connector.

Ensure the 4-jaw connector is fully seated on the grease nipple. Check for wear or damage on the jaws and the nipple. Clean the jaws and nipple before reattaching.

Connector difficult to attach to grease gun.

Verify that the grease gun has a 1/8in BSP thread. Clean the threads on both the grease gun and the connector to remove any obstructions.

Grease not flowing through the tube.

Check for blockages within the tube or at the connection points. Ensure the grease gun is functioning correctly and has sufficient pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
