How to grease a zerk fitting:
While grease fittings themselves do not require grease, the part they are attached to does. To grease the part, attach a grease gun to the end of the zerk fitting and pump until you feel resistance. It is a good idea to refer to your equipment’s service manual for recommended maintenance practices when possible.
What are the different types of grease guns?
There are many different types and designs of grease guns, and we offer lever, pistol, cordless, and pneumatic grease guns. We have a gun for practically any application. G.L. Huyett offers the following on our site.
Lever Gun
Our standard lever gun is not only economical, but also provides the most volume per stroke as compared to other manual guns. A full range of interchangeable / customized features are available to suit your individual needs. ** Lever guns require two hands to operate. **
Pistol-Grip Gun
Pistol-grip grease guns are good for use in close-clearance areas. Using just one hand, grease is pumped via a simple squeeze. Pistol-grip guns typically dispense less grease per stroke than a standard two-handed lever gun.
Cordless Gun
Cordlress grease guns use rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries for complete portability and ease of use. Huyett grease guns come equipped with a carrying case and two batteries for extended use. ** Cordless grease guns are trigger operated, portable, and convenient. **
