Eaton 06Z-686-BG Female Jic Swivel 45 Elbow 9/16-18

Product Description

The EATON 06Z-686-BG is a female JIC swivel 45-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting machined from steel. It connects a hose end to a fixed port at a 45-degree angle, allowing for directional routing in tight hydraulic circuit layouts. The fitting uses a JIC 37-degree flare seating angle and threads at 9/16-18 UNF. Hose size is 6 mm with a 9/16-inch hose diameter. The swivel design lets the nut rotate independently during installation, preventing hose twist and simplifying assembly in confined spaces. This fitting is used by hydraulic technicians, equipment mechanics, and field service personnel working on fluid power systems.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies where a 45-degree change in direction is required at the port connection. Common applications include mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial hydraulic systems where JIC-style connections are specified. The 9/16-18 thread size is a standard JIC size, making this fitting compatible with a wide range of hose ends and manifold ports that call for JIC 37-degree flare fittings. The steel construction handles the pressure and vibration demands typical of working hydraulic circuits.

Key Features

• Female JIC swivel design allows nut rotation during torquing, reducing hose twist
• 45-degree elbow geometry enables directional hose routing in space-constrained installations
• JIC 37-degree flare seating angle provides a metal-to-metal seal without secondary sealant
• 9/16-18 UNF thread size fits standard JIC port connections
• Steel construction resists pressure, vibration, and mechanical stress in hydraulic service
• 11/16-inch hex size for use with standard wrenches during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement hydraulic hose fitting for systems using JIC 37-degree flare connections with a 9/16-18 UNF thread and 6 mm hose size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or equipment mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use two wrenches when tightening swivel fittings to prevent hose body rotation. Inspect the JIC flare seat on both the fitting and mating port for nicks or damage before assembly, as metal-to-metal seals require clean, undamaged seating surfaces.
