Vita Needle 18 Gauge x 4" Blunt Luer-Lock Grease Needle

Reach deep or recessed lubrication points with the Vita Needle 18 Gauge x 4" Blunt Luer-Lock Grease Needle. Its extra-long 4-inch stainless-steel shaft provides extended reach for accurately placing grease and other suitable materials where a shorter dispensing needle may not reach.

The 18-gauge blunt shaft provides controlled dispensing, while the chrome-plated Luer-lock hub creates a secure connection with compatible Luer-lock syringes and dispensing equipment. It's a practical choice for precision lubrication, equipment servicing, mechanical repair, and other bench applications where accurate placement and extended reach are important.

Specifications

Extra-Long 4-Inch Reach

The defining advantage of this needle is its 4-inch-long shaft.

That additional length makes it easier to reach lubrication and dispensing points located deep inside equipment, behind surrounding components, or in other locations that are difficult to access with a conventional applicator.

For repair and maintenance work, the longer shaft can help you deliver lubricant directly where it is needed without applying grease unnecessarily to surrounding components.

Controlled 18 Gauge Dispensing

The 18-gauge shaft allows grease and other suitable materials to be dispensed with much greater placement control than applying them directly from a larger container.

This makes the needle particularly useful for servicing small mechanisms and precision equipment where excessive lubricant can be undesirable.

Blunt Tip for Lubrication & Dispensing

This needle has a blunt tip intended for dispensing rather than piercing.

Use it to direct grease or other suitable dispensing materials to a specific location, including recessed points where the combination of a narrow shaft and extended reach is especially useful.

Secure Luer-Lock Hub

The chrome-plated Luer-lock hub attaches securely to compatible Luer-lock syringes and dispensing equipment.

The locking connection helps keep the needle firmly attached while dispensing, providing a practical setup for controlled lubrication and other precision bench applications.

Stainless-Steel Precision Shaft

The precision shaft is manufactured from high-quality stainless-steel tubing for durability and consistent dispensing.

Its combination of stainless-steel construction, 18-gauge diameter, and extra-long 4-inch reach makes this needle particularly useful for specialized repair and maintenance work.

• Precision grease application

• Deep or recessed lubrication points

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this needle?
This is an 18-gauge blunt needle with a 4-inch-long shaft.

What is the advantage of the 4-inch length?
The extra-long shaft provides greater reach for lubrication and dispensing points located deep inside equipment or behind surrounding components.

Is the tip sharp?
No. This is a blunt dispensing needle intended for grease and other suitable dispensing applications.

What type of connection does it use?
It has a chrome-plated Luer-lock hub for secure attachment to compatible Luer-lock syringes and dispensing equipment.

What is the shaft made from?
The precision shaft is made from high-quality stainless-steel tubing.

Is a syringe included?
No. This listing is for the needle. A compatible Luer-lock syringe or dispensing device is required for use.

How does this compare with the 18-gauge x 2-inch version?
Both use an 18-gauge blunt shaft, but this version has a 4-inch shaft for substantially greater reach. Choose the longer version when the lubrication or dispensing point is too deeply recessed for a shorter needle.

Can this be used for precision lubrication?
Yes. The narrow shaft and extra-long reach make it particularly useful for accurately placing lubricant in small or difficult-to-access mechanical areas.

Is this a medical injection needle?
No. This is a blunt grease and dispensing needle, not a sharpened medical injection needle.

Who manufactures this needle?
It is manufactured by Vita Needle.

What is the manufacturer's part number?
The MPN is S-115-18-4.

Where is it made?
It is made in the USA.
