Hydraulic fitting to blow out grease nipple

[Giles]

Saw this on the tok, what fitting would you need to connect up to a grease nipple thread?

Must be lots of good reasons not to do this.. but I am sure someone will be along to point them out soon!

Did I read that right that they connected the grease port to a hydraulic hose and fired it up?

I thought they just made a screw on fitting for the grease gun as opposed to the chuck

I’ve exploded the grease gun pipe before the fitting has given way.. G-coupler helps with this

I've seen folk connecting up a porta-pak to a grease port to put a bit extra force down the gallery.
Takeuchi will be BSP nipples I'd have thought, probably 1/8" you'll need a 1/8" BSP taper to 1/4" NPT adaptor

Yeah it’s a porta power they use not the machines hydraulics

I’ll remember not to connect a grease port into the hammer lines next time I can’t grease something
