Eaton 06Z-446-BG Female Sae 45 Swivel 90 Elbow 5/8-18

Product Description

The EATON 06Z-446-BG is a female SAE 45-degree swivel 90-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting designed for use in medium- and high-pressure hydraulic circuits. Machined from steel, this fitting connects a 6 mm (5/8 inch) hose end to a 5/8-18 threaded port with a 90-degree change in flow direction. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned without twisting during installation or service. It weighs 0.2 pounds and carries a hex size of 3/4 inch for standard wrench engagement. This fitting is typically installed by hydraulic technicians, equipment mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals working on fluid power systems.

This elbow fitting is suited for hydraulic plumbing applications where routing constraints require a 90-degree turn at the hose-to-port connection. Common installation scenarios include mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units where straight fittings would create excessive hose bend or routing interference. The 5/8-18 thread size conforms to SAE standards, making it a straightforward replacement or new-build component in properly designed hydraulic circuits. The steel construction provides durability in demanding fluid power environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using SAE 45-degree female swivel connections with 5/8-18 threaded ports and 6 mm hose ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or equipment mechanic familiar with fluid power systems. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use a backup wrench on the port to prevent component damage when torquing the fitting. Inspect thread condition and ensure thread sealant or sealing method is appropriate for the system pressure and fluid type.
