Eaton 06Z-S68-BG Hydraulic Hose Straight Swivel Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 06Z-S68-BG is a straight swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects a hose end to a port or mating fitting using a 13/16-16 threaded interface, allowing the hose to rotate during installation without twisting the hose body. Constructed from steel, the fitting measures 0.375 inches inside diameter and 0.5 inches outside diameter, corresponding to a 3/8-inch (6 mm) hose size. The 11/16-inch hex provides a standard wrench flat for torque-free hand tightening and final wrench actuation. This fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians, fluid power specialists, and equipment maintenance mechanics working on mobile or industrial hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is used in hydraulic hose assemblies where a straight, swivel-style end connection is required. It suits applications on construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulic systems that use compatible hose series. The swivel design reduces stress at the hose-to-fitting junction by allowing rotational freedom during assembly and under dynamic load conditions. Compatible hose series listed by the manufacturer include EC110, EC115, EC118, EC210, EC215, H0105, H0106, H104, H115, H116, H145, H145R, H1571, H1776, H1777, H1812, H190, H190H, and H1981, each with specific dash-size ranges as noted by EATON.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any hose fitting. Inspect hose ends and mating threads for damage or contamination before assembly. Follow SAE J1176 guidelines and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for proper assembly procedure and pressure ratings.
