Eaton 04Z-685-BG Female Jic Swivel 45 Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The EATON 04Z-685-BG is a female JIC swivel 45-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting machined from steel. It connects hydraulic hose to system ports at a 45-degree angle, allowing directional routing in tight or angled plumbing runs. The swivel design lets the hose end rotate during installation without twisting the hose assembly. Thread size is 1/2-20 UNF with a JIC 37-degree flare seat. Hose diameter is 1/2 inch and the hex size is 5/8 inch. This fitting is used by hydraulic technicians, mobile equipment mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals working on fluid power systems.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial fluid power applications. The 45-degree elbow orientation is commonly specified where straight fittings would conflict with adjacent components or structural members. The JIC 37-degree flare connection provides a metal-to-metal seal and is a widely used standard in North American fluid power plumbing.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement JIC swivel elbow fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using 1/2 inch hose with 1/2-20 UNF JIC 37-degree flare connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic technicians or fluid power specialists. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use a backup wrench on the swivel nut to avoid over-torquing the hose end or distorting the flare seat. Inspect the JIC flare seat for nicks or damage before assembly, as a compromised seat will result in leakage under pressure.
