Eaton 7818 Hydraulic Hose Adapter 3/8-24 7/16-24 Steel

Product Description

The EATON 7818 is a straight male hydraulic hose adapter designed to connect hydraulic hose ends between 3/8-24 and 7/16-24 thread sizes. Machined from steel, this adapter provides a reliable threaded connection in hydraulic fluid systems where two differing thread specifications must be joined. It measures 0.84 inches in overall length and accepts hose with an inside diameter of 0.4375 inches and an outside diameter of 0.125 inches. Its compact, straight-body design keeps the connection profile low and minimizes potential leak points. Licensed mechanics, hydraulic technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals typically install this type of fitting during hose assembly or system repair work.

This adapter is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and related fluid-power systems where a transition between 3/8-24 and 7/16-24 male threaded connections is required. Its straight configuration makes it appropriate for inline installations where angular fittings are not needed. The steel construction supports use in standard hydraulic pressure applications across both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Straight male adapter bridges 3/8-24 and 7/16-24 hydraulic hose thread sizes
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic fluid service
• Compact 0.84-inch overall length minimizes space requirements at the connection point
• Threaded connection type for secure, leak-resistant assembly
• Designed for use with hydraulic hose

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic hose fitting for use with hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 3/8-24 to 7/16-24 male threaded straight adapter. Complies with California Proposition 65 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic familiar with hydraulic system safety procedures. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape as specified for the hydraulic fluid type in service. Inspect threads on both the adapter and mating components before assembly to ensure no damage that could cause leaks under pressure.
