Eaton 08Z-R68-BG Hydraulic Hose Swivel 90 Elbow 8mm 3/4-16

Product Description

The EATON 08Z-R68-BG is a male straight thread O-ring swivel 90-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic line connections. Built from steel and conforming to SAE standards, this fitting accepts an 8 mm hose size with a 3/4-16 thread size. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned without twisting during installation, which reduces stress on the hose assembly. The O-ring face seal provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection at the threaded port. This fitting is installed by hydraulic system technicians and mechanics on mobile and industrial equipment.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic systems requiring a 90-degree directional change at the hose-to-port connection. The 3/4-16 straight thread with O-ring seal is a common configuration in mobile equipment, construction machinery, agricultural equipment, and industrial hydraulic circuits. At 3.18 inches in length with a 1.22-inch width and 2.54-inch height, it fits standard hose assembly and port configurations where a compact elbow transition is needed.

Key Features

• Male straight thread O-ring swivel 90-degree elbow configuration for directional hose routing
• SAE-standard 3/4-16 thread size for compatibility with common hydraulic port fittings
• 8 mm hose size with 3/4-inch hose diameter for standard hydraulic hose assemblies
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure hydraulic applications
• Swivel design prevents hose twist during final assembly and torquing
• O-ring face seal minimizes leak paths at the threaded connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a male straight thread O-ring swivel 90-degree elbow with an 8 mm hose size and 3/4-16 SAE thread.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the O-ring for damage before assembly and ensure the mating port face is clean and free of nicks or debris. Tighten to the fitting manufacturer's specification using a calibrated torque wrench — do not over-tighten, as this can damage the O-ring seal or thread engagement.
