Eaton 2018-6-8S Jic 37 Swivel to Male Pipe Adapter

Product Description

The EATON 2018-6-8S is a steel flared tube female JIC 37-degree swivel to male pipe adapter designed for hydraulic and fluid power plumbing applications. It connects a female JIC 37-degree flare swivel end to a male NPTF pipe thread, allowing technicians to transition between flared tubing and threaded pipe fittings in a single fitting. The adapter handles a maximum working pressure of 5000 psi and operates across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Constructed from steel and manufactured to SAE J514 standards, it suits demanding service conditions where reliable, leak-resistant connections are required.

This adapter is used in hydraulic lines, industrial fluid systems, and equipment plumbing where a JIC 37-degree flare tube end must mate with an NPT-threaded port or fitting. The 1/2 inch tube outside diameter and 3/8 NPT male thread make it a common transition fitting in mobile equipment, machine tool hydraulics, and fluid power panels. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians install this fitting during equipment assembly, line repair, or system modification.

Key Features

• Female JIC 37-degree swivel inlet transitions to 3/8 NPT male pipe thread outlet
• Rated to 5000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding hydraulic service
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure fluid power environments
• Manufactured to SAE J514 standards for dimensional and performance compliance
• Overall length of 1.74 inches for compact inline installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems requiring a female JIC 37-degree flare swivel connection on a 1/2 inch tube outside diameter to a 3/8 NPT male pipe thread port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters, hydraulic system technicians, or qualified plumbers. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic or fluid system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the JIC flare seat and NPT threads for damage or contamination before assembly. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT male threads as required by the system specification, and do not over-tighten, as this can damage the flare seat or thread.
