The Importance of Stainless Tubes, Spiral Guards, and Grease System Accessories

In industrial grease systems, much importance is attached to the selection of appropriate components to make sure durability, reliability, and efficiency are maintained. From high-pressure grease lines to multitasking lubrication systems, Fat Adder's stainless tubes, spiral guards, and various accessories will help make sure your system runs as smooth as possible, minimizing wear and tear on critical machinery.

The following blog post will outline the various types of stainless tubes, spiral guards, and key accessories that enhance the performance of grease systems in protecting the lines and machinery they serve.

Why Stainless Tubes Are Essential for Grease Line Systems

Stainless steel tubes provide strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for high-pressure grease systems. Fat Adder manufacturing provides stainless tubes in various sizes to meet so many industrial needs while maintaining that your system stays robust and functional under extreme conditions.

Key Benefits:
High Pressure Handling: Stainless tubes can support operational pressure of up to 5,424 PSI, making them very suitable for heavy-duty industrial purposes.
Corrosion Resistance: Because they are made from high-quality stainless steel, these tubes do not corrode, which gives them a longer life span for your grease systems.
Compatibility with Compression Fittings: Stainless tubes will work with compression fittings for leak-proof connections.
Types of Stainless Tubes Available

Fat Adder does a variety of stainless tubes to suit a range of different grease line systems. From strength to flexibility, it's all about meeting the requirements of various pressure conditions.

SS6M6MM: Stainless 6m x 6mm x 1mm wall tube.
SS6M8MM: Stainless 6m x 8mm x 1mm wall tube.
SS6M10MM: Stainless 6m x 10mm x 1mm wall tube.
10mm Heavy Wall Tubes:
For more heavy-duty uses, Fat Adder also provides 10mm heavy wall tubes with a 3.5mm wall thickness for extra protection and service life:

HWST065M10MM: 650mm x 10mm x 3.5mm wall tube with 1/8 BSP ends
HWST190M10MM: 1900mm x 10mm x 3.5mm wall tube with 1/8 BSP ends
These tubes are ideal for grease lines that would require heavy-duty components to withstand pressures to the extreme.

Spiral Hose Guards for Further Line Protection

This is very important, considering that your grease lines may be subjected to external abrasion, impact, or heat in harsher environments. Spiral hose guards will help extend the life of the grease lines by adding one more layer of protection, preventing costly repairs or replacement.

Types of Spiral Hose Guards:
SPG625: 25 meters spiral guard for 6mm nylon tubes.
SPG925: 25 meters spiral guard for 8.6mm hoses.
SPG10SS2M: 2 meters of stainless spiral guard for 10mm hoses, which has great heat resistance and is very durable.
These guards protect from friction, impacts, or too much movement so that the functionality and integrity of the grease lines can last long.
Accessories for your Grease System - Key

To maintain your grease system properly, Fat Adder offers a range of essential accessories, such as divider valves, pressure gauges, and closure plugs, to maintain your lubrication system and ensure it works correctly.

Grease Divider Valves and Check Valves:
BFDIM10: Divider inlet fitting with grease nipple, M10 x 1, for progressive divider valves.
CFNV6MBL: Check valve, straight M10 male x 6mm tube compression fitting.
Divider and check valves also allow for equal distribution of grease to all lubrication points, providing the possibility of manual re-greasing at any one point, if required.

Pressure Gauges:
PG400-1/4BSP: Glycerine-filled pressure gauge, 400 Bar rated, with 1/4 BSP connection.
Application pressures in the system should be checked to avoid over-pressurization, causing potential damage or leakage within the grease system.

Closure Plugs:
PLUG1/8: 1/8 BSP closure plug seals unused ports.
PLUGDRIVE1/8BSP: Closure plug, drive style with grub screw for secure fitting.
Closure plugs ensure that there are no leaks or contamination for smooth operations of your grease system without unnecessary interruptions.
 
Return Valve Coupling for Progressive Lubrication Systems

The return valve coupling is among the must-have parts for progressive lubrication systems on trucks and trailers. Fat Adder has the RVCCOM return valve coupling that allows grease to be pumped back into the reservoir of the lubrication system to maintain efficiency and reduce often tedious maintenance.
