HLB Remote Grease & Lubrication Hose

Don’t let 5 of grease shut down a $75,000 piece of equipment.

Plant Services magazine estimates that 90% of all bearings are lubricated with grease, and 80% of bearing failures are lubrication related. Proper lubrication is essential to extending the life of a bearing. Grease serves three main purposes: providing lubrication, preventing wear (or damage) from contaminants and inhibiting corrosion.

Excessive Downtime

Grease zerk nipples are often inaccessible on today’s crowded equipment. As a result, preventive maintenance takes too long to complete or is not completed at all. A maintenance person can easily spend 5 to 7 minutes reaching an inaccessible grease zerk and still not inject enough grease into the bearing. Poor lubrication and bearing selection account for approximately 34% of premature bearing failures and contamination accounts for another 16% of premature bearing failures. This results in excessive downtime, costly replacement of damaged components and lost productivity. Awkward positioning of grease fittings also creates the dynamics to induce a high-pressure grease injection injury.

Parker’s Solution

Parker’s HLB remote grease hose makes it easy to properly perform quick & effective preventive maintenance on all types of industrial, mobile, and transportation equipment. These lines connect grease port locations to a convenient service access panel where grease can be manually distributed throughout the machine. HLB hose utilizes a panel mounted hose fitting with integral zerk fitting port. Locknuts, zerk nipples, and caps can also be sub-assembled.

HLB – Remote Lubrication Hose

• Ultra small bend radius reduces the need for hose elbow fittings or adapters.
• Unique GK bulkhead hose fittings with integrated nipple can save money per zerk connection in unnecessary adapter costs.
• Compact 1/8" hoses save hundreds of dollars of waste in your operation by eliminating gallons of unnecessary “in-line” grease versus larger bore rubber hoses.
