A-0404-FGRT : Alfagomma Straight Steel Fitting Insert, 1/4 (-04) Hose x 1/2-27 (-04) Grease Fitting

Alfagomma A-FGRT Grease Fitting Two-Piece Fittings are designed for use in systems that require lubrication, such as industrial machinery or equipment. These fittings are made from high-quality carbon steel and feature a hose end that connects securely to a grease fitting. The two-piece design consists of an insert (the fitting) and a ferrule (a collar that helps secure the hose), which allows for easy installation and maintenance. These fittings are ideal for use with wire and textile braided hoses, thermoplastic hoses, Flexor 4, and PTFE hoses, with sizes ranging from ³⁄₁₆" to 2" ID, as well as Alfabiotech 3000 (1 ¼" and 1 ½") and Alfabiotech 4000 (³⁄₈" thru 1 ¼") hoses, including some smaller ID spiral wire reinforced hoses. A two-piece fitting differs from a one-piece fitting in that it requires assembly, allowing for easier maintenance and flexibility in various applications. Ferrules, the small metal sleeves that crimp over the hose and fitting, provide added strength and ensure a tight, leak-proof seal. These grease fittings are essential for delivering lubrication to moving parts, enhancing the longevity and performance of machinery while ensuring smooth operation.
