Eaton 24704N-104 Reusable Hose Male Fitting 1/4-18 Npt

Product Description

The EATON 24704N-104 is a reusable male hose fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid transfer hose assemblies. Machined from carbon steel, this fitting accepts a 3/16 inch hose ID and threads into a 1/4-18 NPT port. Reusable-style fittings allow technicians to disassemble and reinstall the fitting onto a new hose section without specialized crimping equipment, making them a practical choice for field repairs and low-volume assembly work. Plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid-system mechanics install this type of fitting in industrial, mobile equipment, and mechanical service applications.

This fitting is suited for fluid transfer lines where a 3/16 inch hose ID mates to a 1/4-18 NPT threaded port. Typical applications include hydraulic return lines, lubrication circuits, and general-purpose fluid hose assemblies in both shop and field environments. The carbon steel construction is appropriate for petroleum-based fluids and compatible hydraulic media at standard working pressures consistent with the hose and system rating.

Key Features

• Reusable design allows field disassembly and reinstallation without crimping tools
• 1/4-18 NPT male thread for direct port connection
• Fits 3/16 inch hose ID
• Carbon steel construction for durability in petroleum-fluid service
• Compact, lightweight form factor at 0.01 pounds

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/16 inch ID hydraulic or fluid transfer hose assemblies terminating at 1/4-18 NPT ports. Verify hose ID, working pressure rating, and fluid compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians or licensed mechanics following the hose and fitting manufacturer assembly instructions. Depressurize and drain the fluid circuit completely before disassembling any hose end. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the fluid service on NPT threads; do not over-tighten, as carbon steel NPT threads can distort with excessive torque. Inspect the hose cut end for squareness and the fitting socket for debris before assembly.
