Difficult access grease points

[sarabande]

I have a couple of difficult access points on board. What is the proper search term to find those flexible tubes which screw into the nipple location, and can be used at a distance from the greasing point, please ?


I can't think of any disadvantages in installing them, but the forum's experience welcome. TIA.

Grease nipple extension tube.

A small bore hydraulic hose with the correct thread fittings will also be OK.

I see that right angle adapters are available - but seemingly of two different types: e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Lumax-LX-1404-Silver-Degree-Coupler/dp/B000MS5T42 and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Slotted-Right-Angle-Degree-Coupler/dp/B000G76OMA

Any experiences with either?

There are several different types of grease nipples

The 2 I have used are.

requires a push on grease gun connector.

which requires a slide on grease gun connector.

this also shows the types

Not quite sure if the OP wishes to get a extension for his grease gun or dis he wish to move the location of the nipple to make it easy to attach his grease gun.

remote greaser

remote greaser nipple kit

what is needed is the thread size of the nipple if it a remote grease nipple.

Thanks, Roger - I now understand the slide-on type of adaptor is for the button-head nipple type, and I guess my slightly awkwardly-placed Blakes in the heads would require one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lumax-LX-1404-Silver-Degree-Coupler/dp/B000MS5T42?tag=skim0x1773-21

I assumed he wanted to relocate the nipples.

I assumed he wanted to relocate the nipples.

Yes, apologies for my piggybacking.

That's how I took it originally.
