Eaton 24706N-104 Reusable Hose Male Fitting 1/4-18 Npt

Product Description

The EATON 24706N-104 is a reusable male hose fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose assemblies. It accepts a 5/16-inch hose ID and threads into a 1/4-18 NPT port. The fitting is machined from carbon steel for durability in high-pressure service environments. The reusable design allows technicians to disassemble and reuse the fitting body without replacing the entire assembly, reducing material cost on repeat repairs. This type of fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and fluid-power mechanics working on hose-to-port connections in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical systems.

This fitting is suited for applications where a standard 1/4-18 NPT threaded port connection is required. It is commonly installed on hydraulic hose assemblies, fluid-transfer lines, and mechanical systems that use 5/16-inch ID hose. The NPT thread standard ensures a tapered, pressure-rated seal when properly installed. Typical environments include industrial equipment, HVAC refrigerant and fluid lines, and general mechanical service work requiring a reusable field-serviceable connection.

Key Features

• Reusable fitting body — disassemble and reinstall without replacing the entire fitting
• 1/4-18 NPT threaded connection provides a tapered, pressure-rated seal
• Fits 5/16-inch hose ID for compatibility with standard small-bore hose assemblies
• Carbon steel construction for strength and durability in fluid-transfer service
• Overall length of 2.08 inches for compact installation in tight spaces
• Male thread orientation for direct port entry into female NPT receivers

Compatibility

Designed as a field-serviceable replacement or new-assembly fitting for hose systems using 5/16-inch ID hose with 1/4-18 NPT threaded port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or plumber following applicable IPC and system-specific pressure guidelines. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the fluid type to the NPT threads before makeup. Inspect the hose end for cuts or deformation before assembling the reusable fitting body.
