Eaton 08Z-B68-BG Hydraulic Hose Fitting 90 Elbow 8mm

Product Description

The EATON 08Z-B68-BG is a steel hydraulic hose fitting designed as an inverted male swivel 90-degree elbow. It connects an 8 mm hose to a 3/4-18 threaded port, allowing fluid lines to change direction without bending or stressing the hose. The swivel design permits rotational adjustment during installation, making it easier to route lines in tight spaces. The inverted thread configuration is common in hydraulic systems where standard fittings are not specified. Weighing 0.23 pounds and measuring 3.66 inches in length, this compact fitting is sized for use in mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and related fluid power systems. It is typically installed by hydraulic technicians and equipment maintenance professionals.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 90-degree change in flow direction at a 3/4-18 threaded connection point. The 3/4-inch hose diameter and 3/4-inch hex size make it compatible with standard hydraulic line configurations found in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulic circuits. The inverted male swivel thread type is specific to certain OEM and aftermarket hydraulic applications where that port configuration is required. Sold individually, this fitting is appropriate for single-line repairs or new assembly builds.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect threads and sealing surfaces for damage before assembly, and apply appropriate thread sealant or use specified sealing methods per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Torque to the equipment or fitting manufacturer's specification using a calibrated torque wrench.
