Eaton 14788 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Adapter 6mm Jic Steel

Product Description

The EATON 14788 is a hydraulic hose swivel adapter designed to connect flexible hydraulic hose to rigid hydraulic fittings in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. Constructed from steel, this adapter uses a 9/16-18 JIC (Joint Industry Council) thread and accommodates a 6 mm hose size with a 3/8 inch hose diameter. The swivel design allows the hose end to rotate freely during installation, reducing torsional stress on the hose assembly and simplifying routing in tight spaces. It belongs to the EATON TTC series of hydraulic fittings, which are engineered for consistent performance under standard hydraulic pressure cycles.

This swivel adapter is suited for use in mobile equipment hydraulic circuits, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems where a JIC thread interface is required. It is typically installed by hydraulic system technicians and millwrights working on equipment such as construction machinery, agricultural equipment, and industrial presses. The 9/16-18 JIC thread size is a widely used standard in North American hydraulic plumbing, making this adapter a common serviceability component in field and shop repair work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 9/16-18 JIC swivel adapter with a 6 mm hose size and 3/8 inch hose diameter, consistent with EATON TTC series specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any hydraulic fittings to prevent injury from high-pressure fluid release. Use appropriate thread sealant or ensure the JIC flare seat is properly seated before torquing — JIC fittings rely on metal-to-metal flare contact and do not require thread tape. Inspect the hose end and mating fitting for damage or contamination before completing the assembly.
