Eaton 06Z-J04-BG Male Pipe Swivel Fitting 3/8 Hose Nptf

Product Description

The EATON 06Z-J04-BG is a straight male pipe swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects a 3/8 inch hose to a 1/4-18 NPTF threaded port, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint in hydraulic circuits. Constructed from steel, this fitting meets SAE J1176 standards and belongs to the Eaton Z Series. With a 0.375 inch hose inside diameter and an 11/16 inch hex size, it is sized for straightforward installation using standard hand tools. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics install this type of fitting in mobile, industrial, and stationary hydraulic systems.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a straight male pipe swivel termination at a NPTF-threaded port. Its swivel design allows the hose to be oriented during assembly without twisting the hose body. Compatible hose series confirmed in manufacturer data include EC110, EC115, EC118, EC210, EC215, H0105, H0106, H104, H115, H116, H145, H145R, H1571, H1776, H1777, H1812, H190, H190H, and H1981, among others, with size restrictions as noted per series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal assembly; inspect threads for damage before installation and do not over-torque. Torque to the fitting and hose manufacturer specifications using the appropriate wrench on the hex flats — do not grip the hose body.
