Eaton 08Z-688-BG Female Jic Swivel 45 Elbow 3/4-16 Steel

Product Description

The EATON 08Z-688-BG is a female JIC swivel 45-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting machined from steel. It connects hydraulic hose assemblies to ports or components where a 45-degree angle is required to route hose runs efficiently and reduce stress on the fitting. The fitting uses a JIC 37-degree flare seat and a 3/4-16 thread size, making it a standard choice in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. A 7/8-inch hex allows for proper wrench engagement during installation. Hydraulic technicians and equipment mechanics install this fitting on construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a swivel 45-degree elbow connection in tight or angled routing situations. The swivel design allows the hose to be oriented without twisting the hose body during final assembly, which helps maintain hose integrity and reduces the risk of premature failure. It is commonly used in mobile equipment, hydraulic power units, and industrial machinery where JIC 37-degree flare connections are specified. The 3/4-inch hose diameter compatibility makes it a frequent selection for mid-range flow hydraulic circuits.

Key Features

• Female JIC swivel 45-degree elbow configuration for angled hose routing
• JIC 37-degree flare seat for a reliable, leak-resistant metal-to-metal seal
• 3/4-16 thread size for standard JIC port compatibility
• 3/4-inch hose diameter fitting
• 7/8-inch hex for positive wrench engagement during makeup
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic service environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard JIC 37-degree flare swivel elbow replacement fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using 3/4-inch hose and 3/4-16 threaded JIC ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use a backup wrench on the fitting body to prevent rotation of the hose assembly during tightening. Do not over-tighten JIC flare fittings, as over-torquing can deform the flare seat and cause leaks.
