Eaton 06Z-256-BG Hydraulic Hose Female Pipe Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 06Z-256-BG is a female pipe rigid fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies. It provides a fixed, non-swivel connection between a hydraulic hose and a threaded port or component. Constructed from steel, this fitting accepts a 6 mm hose with a 3/8-inch hose diameter and uses a 3/8-18 NPTF thread form for a leak-resistant, pressure-rated seal. The 7/8-inch hex size accommodates standard open-end or flare-nut wrenches. This type of fitting is installed by hydraulic system technicians and industrial mechanics working on mobile equipment, machinery, or stationary hydraulic power units.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic fluid transfer lines in both mobile and stationary hydraulic systems. It is commonly used when a rigid, non-articulating hose end connection is required at a female pipe thread port. Typical applications include agricultural equipment, construction machinery, industrial presses, and material handling systems where hydraulic hose assemblies must terminate at a fixed NPTF-threaded port. The rigid design ensures a stable connection with no rotation at the fitting interface after installation.

Key Features

• Female pipe rigid fitting design provides a fixed, non-swivel hose termination
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread form delivers a pressure-rated, leak-resistant seal without a separate sealant in many applications
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic service environments
• 6 mm hose size with 3/8-inch hose diameter for precise hose-to-fitting match
• 7/8-inch hex size compatible with standard wrenches for controlled installation torque

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic system completely before disconnecting or assembling any hose fittings. Use the correct wrench on the hex to avoid rounding the fitting; do not use pipe wrenches on the body. Inspect the NPTF thread engagement and hose end crimp or assembly for proper seating before returning the system to service.
