Eaton 04E-J04 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting 1/4 in Mnpt

Product Description

The EATON 04E-J04 is a swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It accepts a 1/4 inch hose diameter and uses a Male NPT (MNPT) thread connection. Constructed from steel, this fitting provides the durability and pressure resistance required in hydraulic plumbing applications. Swivel fittings allow the hose to rotate relative to the fitting body, reducing torsional stress during installation and in service. This type of fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals working on fluid power systems.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where a 1/4 inch MNPT swivel connection is required. Typical applications include connecting hydraulic hose lines to pumps, cylinders, valves, and manifolds. The MNPT thread type makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded ports found across a wide range of hydraulic and fluid-transfer equipment.

Key Features

• Swivel design reduces hose twist and torsional stress during installation
• 1/4 inch hose diameter for standard small-bore hydraulic lines
• Male NPT (MNPT) thread for broad compatibility with NPT-ported equipment
• Steel construction for strength and resistance to hydraulic system pressures
• Compact form factor suitable for tight routing and confined installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or plumber familiar with fluid power systems. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant compatible with hydraulic fluid when making NPT connections, and tighten to the fitting and port manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the assembly for leaks before returning the system to full operating pressure.
