Gang,
Quick question - without me having to do much experimentation, does
anyone out there know if a grease fitting is made well enough to hold
air pressure? I have an application in mind, but a normal schrader
valve won't work, but a grease fitting (if silver soldered in
position) probably would be okay.
Thanks.
Ken.


Not a grease fitting expert but my little loader / backhoe has 37 fittings
and almost every one of them spits some grease back out after I put grease
in. My bet would be they won't work for holding air.
