Eaton 10008B-B08 Barbed Hose Swivel Connector 3/4-18 Npt

Product Description

The EATON 10008B-B08 is a barbed push-on hose inverted male swivel connector designed for secure, tool-free hose attachment in fluid-transfer applications. Machined from brass, this fitting accepts push-on hose over a barbed end while the swivel body allows the hose to rotate freely during installation, reducing twist stress on the line. The threaded end is 3/4-18 NPT for engagement with standard NPT-tapped ports. Overall length is 2.24 inches with a 3/4-inch hex for wrench access. The fitting weighs 0.11 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This connector is suited for low-pressure hydraulic lines, pneumatic hose assemblies, fuel lines, and general fluid-handling circuits found in industrial and commercial equipment. The inverted male swivel design is commonly installed where hose routing must change direction at the port connection or where technicians need to avoid transmitting torque into a flexible hose during makeup. The 1-1/4-inch cut-off allowance provides flexibility when trimming hose to final length at the fitting seat.

Key Features

• Inverted male swivel body allows hose rotation during installation, reducing line twist
• Barbed end secures push-on hose without clamps in light-duty service
• 3/4-18 NPT thread engages standard tapered pipe-thread ports
• Brass construction resists corrosion in water, air, and light fluid service
• 3/4-inch hex flats for wrench tightening without slippage
• Compact 2.24-inch overall length suits tight-clearance plumbing layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for push-on hose assemblies requiring a 3/4-18 NPT male swivel connection with a 1/2-inch inside-diameter barbed end.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or hydraulic technicians following applicable system codes. De-pressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per system requirements, and tighten to the hex flats using an appropriate wrench. Do not over-torque brass NPT fittings, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage.
