50gram tube overview

Much of our grease range is available in a 50gram tube. The 50gram tube is ideal for small applications, infrequent use or field service kits as the 50gram tube has a screw cap lid and already has a 1.52mm (0.06inch) hole/orifice at the end of the nozzle. The nozzle can always be cut lower down if a bigger dispensing hole/orifice is required. We often have to describe the design of the standard 50 gram tube, especially the nozzle/tip so we thought is easier to make a quick video overview.

The dimensions of the 50gram tube are:

  • Imperial 6 1/4″ H x 1 1/4″ W
  • Metric 15.88cm H x 3.18cm W
