The flexible tube for a grease gun, also known as a grease gun hose or grease gun extension, is a vital accessory that allows you to reach grease fittings in tight spaces or difficult locations that the grease gun nozzle alone can’t reach.

These tubes are typically made of high-pressure rubber or nylon with a metal braid reinforcement for added strength and durability. They are designed to withstand the high pressures generated by a grease gun and to resist kinking or bursting.

Here are some of the key features of flexible tubes for grease guns:

• Length: They come in various lengths, from a few inches to several feet, to provide access to a wider range of fittings.
• Pressure rating: They are rated for different maximum pressure levels, so it’s important to choose one that is compatible with your grease gun.
• Fittings: Most hoses have coupler fittings on each end that connect to the grease gun and the grease fitting on the machine.
• Swivel: Some hoses have a swivel at the nozzle end, which allows for easier maneuvering in tight spaces.

When choosing a flexible tube for your grease gun, consider the following factors:

• The length you need to reach the grease fittings on your equipment.
• The pressure rating of your grease gun.
• The type of fittings on your grease gun and the machine you are lubricating.
• Whether you need a swivel nozzle for better maneuverability.
