Edelmann Grease Fitting

Edelmann Grease Fittings: Precision-Built Lubrication Hardware

When it comes to keeping joints, bearings, and mechanical assemblies properly lubricated, the grease fitting — often called a Zerk fitting — is a small but absolutely critical component. Edelmann, operating under the Plews & Edelmann brand, brings decades of automotive hardware expertise to its grease fitting lineup, offering solutions trusted by professional technicians, service stations, fleet maintenance crews, and serious DIYers alike.

A Trusted Name in Automotive Fittings

Headquartered in Dixon, Illinois, Plews & Edelmann manufactures and markets a vast range of automotive fittings alongside their well-known hose and steering products. Today, Plews & Edelmann is a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of a broad range of automotive parts and tools sold to the vast majority of mass merchant and retail auto parts stores and wholesale automotive parts and industrial distribution outlets, worldwide. That global reach speaks to the consistency and reliability that professionals demand from their lubrication hardware.

What Sets Edelmann Grease Fittings Apart

Edelmann grease fittings are engineered with real-world durability in mind. All fittings are plated to resist corrosion, and are case hardened for extended performance — furnished with a ball check unless otherwise noted. That ball check is key: fittings stay closed to keep out contaminants until a grease gun is connected to allow flow of grease, protecting the internal components of your vehicle or equipment from dirt and debris between service intervals.

Certain Edelmann grease fittings are rated for a maximum pressure of 10,000 PSI, making them suitable for demanding automotive and industrial environments where high-pressure lubrication is essential. They are designed for use across all types of automotive applications, providing broad compatibility that simplifies inventory for shops and technicians.

A Variety of Configurations to Match Any Job

Edelmann's grease fitting catalog covers the full spectrum of standard configurations. The lineup includes straight, 45-degree angle, and 90-degree angle styles in both SAE 1/4"-28 and 1/8" PT thread sizes, ensuring you can find the right fitting geometry whether you're working in a tight engine bay or on heavy equipment. For shops that need to keep a full range on hand, Edelmann also offers metric grease fitting assortments: assortments consist of 10 to 20 each of 9 of the most commonly used grease fittings, and are packaged in a shatter-resistant, see-through storage box with an easy-to-read locator card that makes it easy to identify and select the proper fittings.

These assortments are ideal for service stations, car dealers, specialty and general repair shops, and fleet maintenance facilities — anywhere a wide variety of fitting sizes needs to be accessible at a moment's notice.

Quality Control You Can Count On

All Edelmann products are manufactured in the company's state-of-the-art facility following strict quality controls to ensure they meet or exceed OE specifications, and each part is 100% tested and verified for functionality before it comes off the assembly line. For a component as fundamental as a grease fitting — where failure means inadequate lubrication and accelerated wear — that commitment to quality assurance matters.

Whether you're restocking a professional service bay or replacing a single worn fitting on your daily driver, browse the full selection of grease fittings available from Edelmann to find the right part for your application.
