Eaton 06Z-18K-BG Hydraulic Hose Female Swivel 30 Flare Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 06Z-18K-BG is a female swivel 30-degree flare hydraulic hose fitting designed for metric hydraulic systems. Constructed from steel, this fitting connects a hydraulic hose to a 30-degree flare port using an M18 x 1.50 metric thread. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned without twisting during assembly, reducing installation stress on the hose end. With a hose size of 6 mm and a hose diameter of 15/32 inches, it is suited for medium-pressure hydraulic circuits. Licensed hydraulic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is intended for use in mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems that require metric 30-degree flare connections. It is appropriate for both OEM assembly and field replacement applications where a steel female swivel flare end fitting is specified. The metric thread designation makes it compatible with systems designed to ISO or DIN metric hydraulic port standards. The compact dimensions make it practical in tight plumbing runs where hose routing flexibility is needed.

Key Features

• Female swivel design allows hose positioning without twisting the assembly
• 30-degree flare seat provides a reliable metal-to-metal seal at the port connection
• M18 x 1.50 metric thread for compatibility with metric hydraulic ports
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic fluid environments
• 6 mm hose size with 15/32-inch hose diameter for medium-flow hydraulic lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for metric hydraulic systems requiring a female swivel 30-degree flare end connection with an M18 x 1.50 thread and 6 mm hose size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the flare seat and mating port for damage or contamination before assembly. Torque the fitting to the hydraulic system manufacturer's specification using the appropriate crowfoot or open-end wrench — do not rely on feel alone for metal-to-metal flare connections.
