MGT-01-008: The Grease Thief Pillow Block Sampling Kit contains eight (8) sampling sleeves that each contain: 1 syringe with cap, 1 Grease Thief Type 1 sampler, 1 spatula, and one shipping tube with label.
The Grease Thief™ sample fittings are used to obtain representative and repeatable samples from shaft line bearings such as pillow block bearings and other locations without a purge drain path. Each sleeve includes a spatula to first scrape away dirty grease with the broader spoon-end, then the other narrow end is used to obtain 1 gram or more of representative grease. This is then loaded into the open end of the syringe (also included), and the syringe piston is reinserted. The grease is then extruded from the syringe into the Grease Thief™, which is then capped. The capped Grease Thief® is placed into the shipping tube and the barcode label is affixed to the tube.
