A grease fitting is a metal fitting used in mechanical systems to feed lubricant, usually lubricating grease, into a bearing. It is known by several other names, including grease nipple, Zerk fitting, grease zerk, Alemite fitting and divit. The lubricant is delivered under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun, so the fitting is the point where the gun connects to the part being lubricated. Because several trade and workshop names refer to the same small part, a reader searching for any of those terms is looking for this one kind of fitting.
