Grease Nipple Caps

Grease nipple caps, also known as grease nipple covers, grease fitting caps or protective grease covers, are essential protective components designed to safeguard grease fittings from contamination. These small but critical accessories fit securely over grease nipples to prevent the ingress of dirt, dust, moisture and other environmental contaminants that can compromise lubrication systems. Manufactured from durable LDPE plastic, grease nipple caps provide a cost-effective, long-term solution for maintaining the integrity of grease points across various UK industries including manufacturing, automotive, construction, agriculture and marine applications.

The primary benefit of these protective caps is their ability to extend equipment lifespan by preventing contamination of lubrication points, reducing maintenance costs and minimising downtime. Available in multiple material compositions and colour options, these fitting caps offer both functional protection and visual identification benefits for maintenance teams.
