Eaton 06Z-206-BG Hydraulic Hose Fitting 3/8-18 Nptf

Product Description

The EATON 06Z-206-BG is a female pipe rigid fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies in industrial and mobile equipment applications. Machined from steel, this fitting accepts a 6 mm hose size with a 3/8-18 NPTF thread, providing a leak-resistant, pressure-rated connection without the need for a sealant when mated to a compatible NPTF port. The rigid construction keeps the hose end stationary at the fitting junction, which reduces stress on the hose and connection point under vibration or repeated flexing. Hydraulic system technicians and maintenance professionals install this fitting during hose assembly fabrication or field replacement of damaged components.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic systems found in agricultural equipment, construction machinery, industrial power units, and similar high-pressure fluid transfer applications. The 3/8-18 NPTF thread engages standard female pipe ports, and the 7/8-inch hex allows installation with a standard open-end or combination wrench. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement or spare part for hydraulic hose end assemblies requiring this thread configuration and hose size.

Key Features

• Female pipe rigid fitting design holds hose end fixed at the connection point
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread provides a dry-seal, leak-resistant connection to compatible ports
• 6 mm hose size with 3/8-inch hose diameter
• 7/8-inch hex size for wrench installation and removal
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 6 mm, 3/8-18 NPTF female pipe rigid end connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic system technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself; inspect threads for damage before assembly and apply installation torque in accordance with the equipment manufacturer or system designer specifications. Do not over-torque, as this can distort the fitting body or damage the port threads.
