Eaton 24704N-304 Reusable Hose Female Fitting 7/16-20 Sae

Product Description

The EATON 24704N-304 is a reusable female hose fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose assemblies. Machined from carbon steel, it accepts a 3/16-inch hose inner diameter and terminates in a 7/16-20 male SAE thread. Reusable-style fittings are disassembled and reinstalled without special crimping equipment, making them a practical choice for field repairs and low-volume hose fabrication. HVAC and refrigeration technicians, plumbers, and fluid-systems mechanics working with compatible hose assemblies commonly install this type of fitting in equipment lines requiring a secure, leak-resistant SAE threaded connection.

This fitting is suited for applications where a 3/16-inch hose ID must terminate at a 7/16-20 male SAE port. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant line accessories, hydraulic control circuits, fuel lines, and other fluid-transfer assemblies in light commercial or residential equipment. Its carbon steel construction is appropriate for moderate-pressure service in dry or oil-based media. Sold individually, it is commonly sourced for single-hose repair jobs or kept on a service truck as a spare assembly component.

Key Features

• Reusable design allows field installation and reinstallation without a crimping press
• 7/16-20 male SAE thread for compatibility with standard SAE port fittings
• Accepts 3/16-inch hose inner diameter
• Carbon steel construction for durability in fluid-transfer service
• Female fitting configuration for direct hose-end assembly
• Sold as a single-piece unit for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reusable female hose fitting for 3/16-inch ID hose assemblies terminating at a 7/16-20 male SAE threaded port. Consult hose and port specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with hose-assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the hose circuit fully before disassembling or replacing any fitting. Reusable fittings require the hose end to be cut cleanly and squarely; inspect the hose bore for damage before reassembly. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque and pressure ratings on the connected system.
