About this Item:
Reach Grease Fittings a Straight Coupler Can’t
The Pressol 12 040 provides convenient 90-degree access to grease fittings located in confined or obstructed areas. Its compact, right-angle design is ideal for fittings with limited overhead clearance or components that prevent a standard straight coupler from connecting properly.
Installation requires no tools or disassembly. Simply connect the adapter to the grease gun’s existing coupler and press the four-jaw end onto the grease fitting. This plug-and-play design works without removing the original coupler or matching an NPT thread.
Rated for pressures up to 12,000 PSI, the Pressol 12 040 is built for demanding automotive, agricultural, industrial, and heavy-equipment lubrication.
Please note that the 12 040 is a push-on, non-locking adapter. It does not contain a locking lever or locking release mechanism.

Plug-and-Play Installation
The 12 040 connects through the grease gun’s existing coupler. There is no need to unscrew the original coupler, apply thread sealant, or install an NPT adapter.
This connection method also allows the 12 040 to be moved easily between different grease guns.
Compact 90-Degree Access
A straight grease coupler requires enough space directly above the fitting for the coupler and hose. The Pressol 12 040 approaches the fitting from the side, making it easier to lubricate fittings located beneath guards, between components, or against nearby obstructions.
Hardened Four-Jaw Coupler
The precision-machined four-jaw outlet grips standard grease fittings securely during lubrication. Hardened clamping jaws provide dependable engagement and improved durability during repeated professional use.
Important Design Information
The Pressol 12 040 is a non-locking 90-degree adapter. The user presses and holds the adapter onto the grease fitting during lubrication, just as with a conventional grease coupler.
It should not be described as a locking coupler or lever-release coupler.
