Eaton 08Z-E68-BG Hydraulic Hose Male Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 08Z-E68-BG is a male rigid hydraulic hose fitting designed for use in high-pressure fluid power systems. It features a 13/16-16 thread size with a FOR-SEAL shaft type, providing a secure, leak-resistant connection at the hose-to-fitting interface. Constructed from steel, this fitting is built to handle the mechanical stress and pressure demands common in hydraulic circuits. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement or web-only SKU intended for maintenance, repair, and overhaul applications. Hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists are the primary installers of this component.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic systems where an 8 mm hose size is specified and a 13/16-16 threaded male rigid connection is required. Typical applications include mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power assemblies that demand a reliable steel fitting at hose termination points. The FOR-SEAL shaft type is commonly specified where a face-seal or similar sealing mechanism is used to prevent leakage under cyclic pressure conditions.

Key Features

• Male rigid fitting configuration for secure hose-end attachment
• 13/16-16 thread size with FOR-SEAL shaft type for leak-resistant sealing
• 8 mm hose size compatibility for standard hydraulic hose assemblies

• Sold as single unit — no minimum quantity beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement male rigid hydraulic hose fitting for systems requiring an 8 mm hose size with a 13/16-16 thread and FOR-SEAL shaft type.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician familiar with fluid power systems and applicable safety standards. Always depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Use a properly sized wrench on the 7/8 inch hex to avoid rounding. Do not over-torque the fitting; follow the system or hose assembly manufacturer guidelines for thread engagement and seating.
