Eaton 24706N-406 Female Swivel Hose Fitting 5/16 in

Product Description

The EATON 24706N-406 is a reusable female swivel hose fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose assemblies. It features a 5/8-18 female SAE threaded connection and accepts hose with a 5/16 inch inner diameter. Constructed from carbon steel, this fitting delivers reliable mechanical strength in demanding fluid-system applications. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing hose twist and simplifying assembly. At 2.36 inches in overall length, it is a compact, field-reusable component suited for professional hose fabrication and repair work performed by hydraulic technicians and fluid-system mechanics.

This fitting is appropriate for use in hydraulic hose assemblies, mobile equipment fluid lines, and industrial fluid-transfer systems where a 5/16 inch ID hose terminates at a 5/8-18 female SAE port. It is commonly installed during hose fabrication in shop environments or field repair scenarios where reusable fittings are preferred over crimp-style alternatives. The threaded swivel connection makes it compatible with standard SAE straight-thread and flare-seat ports found across a wide range of hydraulic and pneumatic equipment.

Key Features

• Reusable design allows disassembly and reinstallation without special crimp tooling
• Female swivel connection reduces hose twist during make-up and service
• 5/8-18 female SAE thread fits standard SAE port configurations
• Accepts 5/16 inch ID hose for a secure, leak-resistant assembly
• Carbon steel construction provides strength in high-demand fluid-system environments
• Compact 2.36 inch overall length suits tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a reusable replacement or new-assembly fitting for hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose systems using 5/16 inch ID hose with a 5/8-18 female SAE threaded termination.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians or qualified mechanics familiar with SAE hose fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or fluid system fully before disassembling any hose connections. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions for proper thread engagement and torque range — do not overtighten, as this can damage the swivel seat or thread. Inspect the hose cut end for squareness and ensure it is free of burrs before inserting into the fitting body.
