The M6x1 45° grease nipple manufactured according to DIN 71412 is designed for reliable lubrication of bearings, bushings, pivot joints and industrial machinery where lubrication points are not easily accessible. Made from zinc-plated steel, it features a metric M6x1 thread, a 45-degree angled body and a spring-loaded ball check valve for clean and efficient grease delivery. Compatible with most standard grease guns, it is widely used in industrial maintenance, agriculture, construction equipment and automotive applications.
What is an M6x1 45° Grease Nipple?
The M6x1 45° grease nipple, also known as a 45-degree grease fitting or 45° grease zerk, is a lubrication fitting designed to provide reliable grease delivery to bearings, bushings, pins, pivot joints and other moving mechanical components. Its 45-degree angled design offers easier access to lubrication points located in partially restricted spaces where a straight grease fitting may be difficult to use.
Manufactured according to DIN 71412, the grease nipple features a metric M6x1 thread and is compatible with most standard manual, pneumatic and battery-powered grease guns. The integrated spring-loaded ball check valve helps prevent contaminants from entering the lubrication point while ensuring reliable grease retention.

Typical Applications
The M6x1 45° grease fitting is widely used in:
- Bearing housings
- Rolling bearings
- Plain bearings
- Bushings
- Pins
- Pivot joints
- Shafts
- Industrial machinery
- Agricultural equipment
- Construction machinery

Why Choose a 45° Grease Nipple?
A 45-degree grease nipple provides improved access to lubrication points while maintaining a compact installation profile. It is the ideal solution when a straight grease fitting cannot be accessed easily, but a 90° fitting is not required. This design simplifies routine maintenance and reduces servicing time.
What Does M6x1 Mean?
The designation M6x1 indicates a metric thread with:
- Nominal thread diameter: 6 mm
- Thread pitch: 1 mm
It is one of the most common thread sizes used in lubrication systems for industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, construction machinery and automotive applications.
DIN 71412 Standard
The DIN 71412 standard defines the dimensions and design requirements for grease nipples, ensuring compatibility with standard grease gun couplers used worldwide in industrial maintenance and servicing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a 45° grease nipple used for?
It is used to lubricate bearings, bushings and other moving components where access is partially restricted.
Is it compatible with standard grease guns?
Yes. It is compatible with most manual, pneumatic and battery-powered grease guns fitted with standard grease couplers.
What does the M6x1 thread designation mean?
It identifies a metric thread with a 6 mm nominal diameter and a 1 mm thread pitch.
Why choose a 45° grease fitting instead of a straight one?
The angled design provides easier access to lubrication points while requiring less installation space than a 90° fitting.
Can a damaged grease nipple be replaced?
Yes. It is a threaded component that can be quickly removed and replaced during routine maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions from Maintenance Engineers
When should a 45° grease nipple be installed?
It should be used whenever access to the lubrication point is partially restricted and a straight grease fitting cannot be connected comfortably.
Why won't grease pass through the grease fitting?
Possible causes include a blocked ball valve, hardened grease, contamination or a clogged lubrication passage.
Can different grease types be mixed?
Not always. Grease compatibility should always be verified before changing lubricant types.
How should a grease nipple be inspected?
Inspect the thread, ball valve operation, sealing condition and verify unrestricted grease flow during maintenance.
Why should damaged grease nipples be replaced?
Replacing worn or damaged grease fittings helps prevent contamination, ensures reliable lubrication and extends the service life of bearings and other lubricated components.
