Eaton 04Z-M04-BG Hydraulic Hose Elbow 1/4-18 Thread

Product Description

The EATON 04Z-M04-BG is a hydraulic hose elbow fitting designed for use in hydraulic fluid systems requiring directional routing at the hose connection point. This fitting accommodates a 1/4 inch hose diameter and is threaded at 1/4-18, a standard pipe thread size common in hydraulic and fluid power assemblies. Available configurations include 45 degree elbow, 90 degree elbow, and long drop elbow geometry, allowing installers to select the appropriate angle for tight clearance routing or panel-mount applications. At 1.69 pounds, this is a solid, durable fitting suited for service and repair work by hydraulic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals.

This fitting is used in hydraulic hose assemblies where a change in flow direction is needed at the hose termination point. Typical applications include mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems that use 1/4 inch hose lines with 1/4-18 threaded ports. The elbow configurations help reduce hose stress and avoid sharp bends in confined installation spaces. Licensed hydraulic technicians and industrial pipefitters typically handle installation on pressurized fluid systems.

Key Features

• 1/4-18 thread size for compatibility with standard pipe-threaded hydraulic ports
• 1/4 inch hose diameter rating for light-duty hydraulic line connections
• Available in 45 degree elbow, 90 degree elbow, and long drop elbow configurations
• 13/16 inch hex size for standard wrench installation and torque control
• Compact elbow geometry reduces hose strain in tight routing spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using 1/4 inch hose lines and 1/4-18 threaded port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or industrial pipefitter. Depressurize the hydraulic system completely and relieve stored energy before removing or installing any fitting. Use a properly sized wrench on the 13/16 inch hex to tighten the fitting without over-torquing the threads. Follow applicable fluid power system standards and equipment manufacturer service procedures during installation.
