Eaton 2018-6-6S Female Jic 37 Flare to Male Npt Adapter

Product Description

The EATON 2018-6-6S is a steel flared tube adapter that connects a female JIC 37-degree swivel end to a male NPT pipe thread. It is used in hydraulic and fluid power plumbing lines where a flared tube connection must transition to a pipe thread port. The body is steel construction, rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure with a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The swivel design on the JIC end allows the tube nut to rotate during tightening without twisting the tubing. Hydraulic technicians and industrial plumbers are the primary installers of this fitting.

This adapter fits applications in hydraulic systems, fluid power circuits, and industrial plumbing where 3/8 inch OD flared tubing must mate to a 3/8 NPT port. The flare end conforms to SAE J514, making it a standard fitment in mobile equipment, machine tool hydraulics, and stationary fluid power systems. The overall installed length is 1.59 inches. It is sold individually and ships as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic or fluid system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT male threads only — do not apply sealant to the JIC flare seating surface. Torque to the fitting manufacturer and system design specifications using calibrated flare fitting wrenches.
