Eaton 08Z-S68-BG Hydraulic Hose Straight Swivel Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 08Z-S68-BG is a straight swivel hydraulic hose fitting designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic systems. Manufactured from steel with a threaded connection, this Series Z fitting accepts hoses with a 0.5-inch inside diameter and a 0.5-inch outside diameter, corresponding to a nominal hose size of 1/2 inch (8 mm). The 13/16-16 thread size meets SAE J1176 standards. It is installed by licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists working on mobile, industrial, and construction equipment hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for straight-run hose terminations in hydraulic assemblies where a swivel connection is required to reduce hose twist during installation. It is compatible with a broad range of EATON hose series used in agricultural, construction, and industrial hydraulic equipment. Typical applications include connecting hydraulic hoses to cylinders, valves, pumps, and manifolds in both mobile and stationary equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or hydraulic specialist. Relieve all system pressure and depressurize the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use the correct open-end or crow-foot wrench matched to the 13/16-inch hex size to achieve proper torque without damaging the swivel body. Inspect hose ends and threads for damage or contamination before assembly, and verify thread compatibility before final make-up.
