ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A multi-headed lubrication fitting adapted for use with a cross member of a universal joint is disclosed. The lubrication fitting includes a valve body having a semi-spherical head portion and a threaded end portion. A co-axial passageway is formed through the valve body from the threaded end portion to an internal chamber located within the head portion. A plurality of equidistantly spaced angled passageways extend outwardly from the chamber to the surface of the head portion. A grease fitting is provided in each of the angled passageways. Each grease fitting includes a housing having co-axial large and small diameter passageways formed therethrough. A spring loaded ball is disposed within the each of the relatively large diameter passageways so as to function as a check valve. Since the grease fittings are oriented in a plurality of different directions from one another, at least one of such grease fittings will always be oriented in a convenient position.
