Major Grease Nipples

Post by Bensdexta »

What size are the nipples on Majors? Are they all 'push-fit'?

It seems that dextas have 1/4" UNF threaded nipples, so not the same as for Majors??

TIA :wink:

Does any one use these 1/4" UNF nipples on the Major?

Ben,

As afr as I know all nipples on the Major are 'push-fit', size 5/16. But 8 mm wil work also.
Kind regards, Henk
