Which component is most likely referenced by a button head, flush type fitting, hydraulic zerk when discussing lubrication?

• A. Water displacement thing
• B. Grease gun fitting
• C. Potting compound
• D. Conformal coating

Answer: (B)

These terms describe grease fittings. A grease fitting, often called a zerk, is a small valve that lets a grease gun inject lubricant into bearings or lubrication passages. The “button head” and “flush type” describe the physical shapes of the fitting heads, while “hydraulic zerk” reinforces that it’s specifically a fitting used for applying grease under pressure. When you see all three together, they point to a component used for lubrication rather than sealing, coating, or protecting electronics. The other options don’t fit because potting compound is used to encapsulate components, conformal coating protects circuit boards, and a water-displacement product is about protecting against moisture rather than providing a lubrication port.
