The Lumatic Grease Nipple Selection Box is designed for mechanics, automotive technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who need a comprehensive assortment of metric grease nipples for maintenance and repair. Its key benefit is providing 80 commonly used fittings in a organized, portable case, saving time and frustration. A potential caveat is that it contains only metric sizes, making it unsuitable for systems requiring imperial fittings.

'Metric' refers to the thread sizing and pitch standards used for the grease nipples, such as M6 x 1.00. These are common in European and many other international standards, distinct from imperial (e.g., SAE) sizes.
DIN 71412 is a German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standard that specifies the dimensions and forms for various types of straight and angled grease nipples. Fittings conforming to this standard are widely compatible.
These nipples are designed to work with standard metric grease guns. Ensure your grease gun's coupler is compatible with the head form and size of the nipple.
You need to match the thread size (M6, M8, M10) and thread pitch (1.00, 1.25, 1.5) of the nipple to the existing threaded hole on the machine component you wish to lubricate. If unsure, check the equipment's manual or measure the existing fitting.
No, this is a metric selection box and only contains metric-sized grease nipples.
The ZN3 zinc and clear plating is a surface treatment that provides corrosion resistance and durability to the steel nipples, helping them withstand environmental factors and maintain their integrity over time.
The box contains specific quantities of each size and angle variation. For example, it includes 10 x M6 x 1.00 Straight nipples, and 5 of various other combinations.
Verify that the thread size (e.g., M6, M8, M10) and pitch (e.g., 1.00, 1.25, 1.5) of the selected nipple match the equipment's grease point. Ensure you are using a metric nipple for a metric fitting.
Ensure the grease gun is compatible with metric grease nipples. Check if the grease gun's coupler is clean and free of debris that might prevent a proper connection. Some nipples may have a slightly different head form than your coupler expects; ensure the coupler is designed for DIN 71412 or similar standard heads.
While plated for protection, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface corrosion. Store the case in a dry location. Light surface rust can often be cleaned with a wire brush or fine steel wool, but if the threads are damaged, the nipple should be replaced.
Setup: No setup is required beyond selecting the appropriate grease nipple for the fitting point. Ensure the thread size and pitch match the equipment's grease point.
Compatibility: This selection box is designed for metric grease points conforming to DIN 71412 standards. It is compatible with most standard grease guns designed for metric fittings.
