Eaton 24706N-486 Female Swivel Jic Hose Fitting 5/16 in

Product Description

The EATON 24706N-486 is a reusable female swivel fitting designed for JIC (37-degree flare) hydraulic hose assemblies. Constructed from carbon steel, this fitting accepts a 5/16 inch hose inner diameter and threads at 5/8-18 UNF. The swivel design allows the fitting body to rotate during assembly, reducing hose twist and making installation easier in tight or awkward routing conditions. It is a field-reusable type, meaning the socket can be removed and reinstalled on a new hose end without special crimping equipment. Hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists use this fitting in low- to medium-pressure hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for use in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial hydraulic systems, and similar fluid power applications where JIC hose connections are specified. It connects to hoses with a 5/16 inch inner diameter and mates with standard 5/8-18 JIC male fittings. The reusable construction makes it a practical choice for field repair and maintenance operations where a crimping machine is not available.

Key Features

• Reusable field-assembly design — no crimping machine required
• Female swivel configuration reduces hose twist during installation
• 5/8-18 UNF thread size for standard JIC 37-degree flare connections
• Accepts 5/16 inch inner diameter hydraulic hose
• Carbon steel construction for durability in hydraulic service

Compatibility

Designed as a reusable JIC female swivel hose fitting compatible with 5/16 inch inner diameter hydraulic hose and standard 5/8-18 UNF male JIC fittings in fluid power assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hydraulic technicians or fluid power mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disassembling or installing any hose fitting. Thread the swivel nut onto the mating JIC male fitting and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommended procedure for JIC connections, typically a flats-from-finger-tight method. Inspect the hose end for proper seating of the reusable socket before pressurizing the system.
