Advantages of 4mm Nylon Tubes and Fittings for Grease Systems

Correct selection of connectors, adaptors, and extensions is very important in industrial lubrication systems for ensuring that grease flows without any disturbance to all the vital components. Fat Adder manufactures a whole range of straight adaptors and extensions, which directly fit 1/8 BSP and 1/4 BSP connections to create leak-proof, secure setups in your grease line system.

This blog will take a deeper look at the various types of straight adaptors and extensions available, their uses, and how to achieve an ideal lubrication system by choosing the right component parts.

Why Straight Adaptors and Extensions Matter in Lubrication Systems

In any lubrication system, safe couplings of hoses and fittings with grease points are very important. Straight adapters and extensions allow you to tailor-make your system to reach hitherto inaccessible areas, minimize friction, and ensure that your machinery runs at optimum performance levels. Fitted with various thread sizes and materials, these adapters and extensions ensure a reliable, leak-free connection.

Key Benefits:
Application Versatility: Straight adapters come in a number of sizes and metals, such as brass and stainless steel, to meet the demands of various systems. Extensions facilitate flexible routing of grease to reach obscure components. This allows every point to be properly lubricated. Durability: Adaptation and extension by Fat Adder are made from the best materials to withstand harsh conditions, especially in industrial applications. Types of Straight Adaptors from Fat Adder

Fat Adder will carry several varieties of BSP, NPT, and UNEF threads in addition to many others, in its long line of straight adaptors. Adaptors provide an important means of connecting components featuring thread sizes or materials different from one another for a smooth and secure connection.

1/8 BSP Female Adaptors:

ATM5X18BSPBR - M5 (0.8) male x 1/8 BSP female, brass straight adaptor

ATM6X18BSP - M6 (1.0) male x 1/8 BSP female, straight adaptor

ATM10X18BSP18 - M10 male x 1/8 BSP female, straight adaptor.
BSP Thread BSP Female Adaptors
ATM12X18BSPBR: Brass straight adaptor M12 (1.5) male x 1/8 BSP female.
A14X18S20SS: Stainless steel straight adaptor 1/4 BSP male x 1/8 BSP female.
1/4 BSP Female Adaptors:
ATM6X14BSPBR: Brass straight adaptor 6mm male x 1/4 BSP female.
ATM8X14BSPSS: Stainless steel straight adaptor 8mm male x 1/4 BSP female.
ATM10X14BSPBR: Brass straight adaptor 10mm male x 1/4 BSP female.
ATUNFX14BR: Brass straight adaptor 1/4 UNF male x 1/4 BSP female.
AT18X14BSP: Straight adaptor 1/8 BSP male x 1/4 BSP female.
These adaptors are convenient for changing thread size in a system easily to accommodate different parts of the system.

Straight Extensions for Grease Line Systems

Many lubrication systems have remote grease points, which call for the use of extensions. Fat Adder offers straight extensions in various lengths and different threads to enable maximum flexibility in the design of a system.

Metric Straight Extensions (Male x Female):
ATM6XM6-20: Male x Female M6 Straight Extension, 20mm
ATM8XM8-62.5: Male x Female M8 Straight Extension, 62.5mm
ATM10M10-50: Male x Female M10 Straight Extension, 50mm
1/8 BSP Straight Extensions:
AT18X18BSP18: 1/8 BSP Male x 1/8 BSP Female Straight Extension, 18mm
AT18X18BSP35SS: 1/8 BSP Male x 1/8 BSP Female Straight Extension, in Stainless Steel, 35mm
AT18X18BSP111: 1/8 BSP Male x 1/8 BSP Female Straight Extension, 111mm.
AT18X18BSP187: Straight extension 1/8 BSP male x 1/8 BSP female, 187mm long.
1/4 BSP Straight Extensions:
AT14X14BSP25: Straight extension 1/4 BSP male x 1/4 BSP female, 25mm long.
AT14X14BSP50: Straight extension 1/4 BSP male x 1/4 BSP female, 50mm long.
AT14X14BSP104: Straight extension 1/4 BSP male x 1/4 BSP female, 104mm long.
These will provide flexibility in situating the grease points in positions most accessible to servicing, with the assurance that critical points of the machinery are appropriately lubricated.

When to Apply Brass against Stainless Steel Adaptors and Extensions

From the many straight adaptors and extensions, consider what material would be best for your application. Generally speaking, brass adaptors are usually lower-cost solutions and work for general-purpose applications, while stainless steel adaptors offer better corrosion resistance for harsh or corrosive environments.

Brass: Good for most industrial applications not requiring exceptional resistance to corrosion.
Stainless Steel: Best for very humid environments, chemical exposure, or where long life is intended.
