Westward 4BY73 Manual Grease Gun
The Westward 4BY73 is a manual grease gun built for automotive and industrial maintenance. It accepts a 14 1/2 oz cartridge or 21 oz of bulk grease. The lever handle delivers full-stroke operation at up to 10,000 psi. This tool suits technicians who need reliable, high-pressure lubrication without pneumatic power.
Installation uses standard cartridge
Load the gun by inserting a cartridge or filling via a filler pump for bulk grease. The rigid pipe extension threads onto the head for a secure fit. A common issue is air pockets trapped during loading, which prevent priming; bleed the head until grease flows steadily. Ensure the follower rod seals properly against the tube wall to avoid bypass.
10,000 psi maximum operating pressure
The 10,000 psi rating determines if this gun can penetrate tight fittings or heavy-duty bearings. At 28 strokes per ounce, high-pressure delivery requires significant lever effort over the 19 1/4 in tool length. Buyers who need continuous high-volume flow or lower hand force should consider pneumatic alternatives. The steel tube and rigid 6 in pipe withstand the rated pressure for demanding applications.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the gun is reaching its 10000 psi rating after setup?
Operate the lever through a full stroke cycle and confirm firm resistance at the 6 in rigid pipe nozzle; consistent 14½ oz cartridge delivery over 28 strokes per ounce indicates the mechanism is pressurising correctly.
What comes with the 4BY73 and what must I source separately?
The gun body, lever handle, 6 in steel rigid pipe nozzle and filler pump fitting are included; 14½ oz cartridges or bulk grease up to 21 oz capacity, plus any tether accessory, are purchased separately.
Should I choose the 14½ oz cartridge version or the 21 oz bulk-fill option for this 19¼ in tool?
Both capacities are built into the same 19¼ in gun; use 14½ oz cartridges for quick changes or fill the 21 oz bulk reservoir when longer intervals between refills are preferred.
