Where to get Zerk fittings

[rjwerth]

I could have sworn that I posted this last year, but a search turned up nothing.

You can buy zerk fittings from oringsandmore.com Most fittings on the Kioti are "1/8 BSP"

Straight ones are $17/10 so much cheaper than the dealer. If you want to get crazy, they also have them in stainless-but they are $$$$$$$$$ and will probably break more.

Nope nope and nope. Kioti fittings are British and I have yet to find them at any autopart store or TSC around here. Kudos to your stores if they stock them! Metric ones "kinda" fit but are NOT an exact fit.

British thread Zerk fittings are not sold at HF or your friendly neighborhood auto parts store.

And I just had to replace a couple because of previous owner had mangled them, I just used the tapered ones from HF, screwed right in.
Someone said they are metric and gave this chart as reference ; http://saeproducts.com/metric-grease-fittings.html

Interesting. What i can't figure out is why Kioti, a South Korean company, (Daedong) would use British Zerks?! I could see it if Kioti were made in India for instance, but S. Korea? Wouldn't logic point toward METRIC? Well, it seems to me that would be the go to standard- but I know little about S. Korea as far as what floats their boat(s).
Thanks to all for the sources for Zerks, and some of them offer samples! Guess who's going to be getting some samples?:dance1:
