Eaton 08E-108 Male Pipe Rigid Straight Hydraulic Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 08E-108 is a male pipe rigid fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies. This straight, threaded fitting connects hydraulic hoses to system components using a 1/2-14 NPTF thread, providing a pressure-tight seal suited to demanding fluid power applications. Constructed from steel, the 08E-108 carries a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi. It is compatible with 1/2-inch inside diameter hydraulic hose and features a 7/8-inch hex for standard wrench installation. Hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics install this fitting in mobile and industrial hydraulic circuits where a reliable NPTF pipe connection is required.

This fitting is intended for use in hydraulic hose assembly applications involving 1/2-inch hose. Its straight geometry suits installations where a direct in-line connection between hose end and port is needed. The NPTF thread form provides a dryseal mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant in most applications, though shop practice and system requirements should dictate final assembly procedure. Typical installations include mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units running within the rated pressure envelope.

Designed for use with EATON hydraulic hose series H009, H209, H243, H265, H275, H277, H285, H435, and H436, with a 1/2-inch hose inside diameter and 1/2-inch hose outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any hose or fitting. Inspect the mating port threads for damage before assembly, and confirm thread form compatibility to avoid cross-threading. Follow the equipment manufacturer and applicable industry standards for assembly torque and hose routing practices.
