Eaton 08Z-668-BG Female Jic Swivel 90 Elbow 0.5 in Steel

Product Description

The EATON 08Z-668-BG is a female JIC swivel 90-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting manufactured from steel. It connects hydraulic hose assemblies to ports or components where a 90-degree directional change is required in the line. The fitting uses a 3/4-16 thread and a JIC 37-degree flare seating surface, providing a reliable metal-to-metal seal under system pressure. With a hose inside diameter of 0.5 inches and an overall length of 2.59 inches, this fitting is sized for hose size 8 hydraulic lines. Installation is typically performed by hydraulic system technicians, mobile equipment mechanics, or industrial maintenance professionals.

This fitting is designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies where a compact 90-degree elbow transition is required. The swivel feature on the female end allows for easier assembly and alignment during installation without twisting the hose. It is suited for mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems that require JIC-style threaded connections. Compatible with a range of Eaton hose series listed by the manufacturer, this fitting is a direct-fit component for those specified assemblies.

Installation Notes

Always depressurize and relieve all hydraulic system pressure before disconnecting or installing any hose fitting. Use the correct wrench on the 7/8-inch hex to avoid rounding the fitting; do not use pipe wrenches or pliers. The swivel end allows rotation during tightening to help achieve proper hose alignment without inducing torsional stress in the hose. Follow SAE J1176 torque guidelines and applicable equipment manufacturer specifications for final assembly torque.
