Eaton 08E-508 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting Male Jic Steel

Product Description

The EATON 08E-508 is a straight swivel fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects hydraulic hoses to system components using a Male JIC threaded interface with a 3/4-16 thread size. Constructed from steel, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 4000 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic circuit applications. The swivel design allows rotation during installation, reducing hose twist and simplifying routing in tight spaces. Licensed hydraulic technicians and industrial mechanics typically install this type of fitting in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems.

This fitting is sized for 1/2-inch hose diameter with a 0.5-inch inside diameter and 0.5-inch outside diameter, corresponding to hose size designation 8. The straight configuration suits direct inline connections where no angular offset is needed. It is intended for hydraulic systems that require a reliable, reusable swivel-style end fitting with JIC male termination. Typical applications include mobile hydraulic circuits, industrial presses, and fluid transfer lines operating within the rated pressure range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or industrial mechanic familiar with fluid power systems. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten to fitting manufacturer specifications without over-torquing, which can damage threads or sealing surfaces. Verify thread compatibility and pressure rating before placing the assembly into service.
