Eaton 04E-504 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting 1/4 in Male Jic

Product Description

The EATON 04E-504 is a swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 1/4 inch hose connection with a Male JIC thread interface. Constructed from steel, this fitting allows rotational movement during installation and routing, reducing hose twist and stress at the connection point. It is suited for hydraulic plumbing applications where a secure, leak-resistant connection is needed between hose and hydraulic system components. Installation is typically performed by hydraulic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals working on fluid power equipment.

This fitting is used in hydraulic systems where a 1/4 inch hose diameter is specified and a Male JIC swivel connection is required. Common applications include mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power assemblies where hose routing demands a fitting that can rotate freely before final torque is applied. The steel construction provides durability in high-pressure hydraulic environments.

Key Features

• Swivel fitting design reduces hose twist and strain during assembly and routing
• Male JIC thread type for standard hydraulic hose connections
• 1/4 inch hose diameter compatibility
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic service
• Sold individually; minimum order quantity of 4 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic swivel fitting for use with 1/4 inch hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a Male JIC thread connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician familiar with fluid power systems. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate wrenches to achieve proper thread engagement without over-torquing, which can damage the swivel or sealing surfaces. Verify system compatibility and pressure ratings before returning the circuit to service.
