Eaton 04Z-254-BG Hydraulic Hose Female Pipe Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 04Z-254-BG is a female pipe rigid fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects a 1/4-inch hydraulic hose to a female pipe thread port using a 1/4-18 FPT thread specification. Constructed from steel for durability under hydraulic system pressures, this rigid fitting maintains a fixed angle at the connection point, eliminating the need for additional adapters in straight-run configurations. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists install this type of fitting in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems where a secure, non-swivel pipe thread termination is required.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies in industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and other fluid power applications requiring a female pipe rigid connection. The 1/4-18 thread size is a standard NPT specification commonly found in low-to-medium pressure hydraulic circuits. The 3/4-inch hex size allows for proper wrench engagement during assembly, making it compatible with standard hand and power tools used in fluid power service work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rigid fitting for 1/4-inch hydraulic hose assemblies using 1/4-18 female pipe thread connections in industrial and mobile fluid power systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Always depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system fully before disconnecting or installing any hose fittings. Use the 3/4-inch hex with an appropriate wrench to torque the fitting to the system manufacturer's specified value — do not over-tighten pipe thread fittings, as this can crack ports or distort threads. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment service manuals for hydraulic hose assembly and fitting installation procedures.
