Eaton 08Z-208-BG Hydraulic Hose Female Pipe Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 08Z-208-BG is a female pipe rigid fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It provides a fixed, non-swivel connection point between a hydraulic hose and a threaded port, maintaining a leak-resistant seal under working pressure. The fitting uses a 1/2-14 NPTF thread, which relies on thread interference for a dry-seal connection without additional sealant tape in most applications. Constructed from steel, the 08Z-208-BG is suited for demanding hydraulic circuits where a rigid, permanent hose termination is required. It is installed by hydraulic system technicians and fluid power mechanics in mobile, industrial, and stationary hydraulic equipment.

This fitting is intended for use with 8 mm hydraulic hose (1/2 inch hose diameter) in hydraulic assemblies requiring a female pipe rigid end connection. Typical applications include mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial presses, and other hydraulic systems that route hose to NPTF-threaded ports on pumps, cylinders, valves, or manifolds. The rigid style is commonly chosen where hose orientation must remain fixed after assembly, minimizing movement-related stress at the connection point.

Key Features

• Female pipe rigid fitting style for fixed, non-rotating hose terminations
• 1/2-14 NPTF dry-seal thread for leak-resistant port connections
• 8 mm hose size compatibility with 1/2 inch hose diameter
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure hydraulic service
• 1-1/16 inch hex size for standard wrench installation
• Compact form factor at 2.82 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rigid hose fitting for hydraulic assemblies using 8 mm (1/2 inch diameter) hose with 1/2-14 NPTF female pipe thread port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and de-energize the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any hose fittings. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal engagement, but system requirements and fluid compatibility should be verified before assembly. Use the 1-1/16 inch hex for proper wrench engagement and avoid over-torquing, which can crack or distort the fitting body.
