Default Flush-type grease fitting

How about www.mcmaster.com, look at part 1091K9 on page 2168, and at the
fittings on page 2175 to make sure the style matches yours (just put the
page or part # in the search box).

I've just been replacing a lot of parts on the latest buggy, the new
front driveshaft U-joints have flush-type grease fittings on the
bearing cups. I've never encountered these before, they're small
countersunk cups with a check ball, nothing like a regular zerk. Not
flat like an Alemite fitting, either. Nobody seems to have the mating
nozzle for a grease gun, counter monkey at the parts place just gave a
shrug. Anybody know what's supposed to be used with these things and
where to get it? I can always use them like grease plugs, just
unscrew them and put in a regular zerk come time to regrease, but if I
could get the proper nozzle at a reasonable price, I'd go for it.
Google didn't turn up much besides the fittings and the data pages on
them just said to get a flush nozzle for the grease gun. Big help.
