Eaton Aeroquip Metric Straight Fitting
This Eaton Aeroquip hydraulic crimp fitting connects a 3/8 inch hose to an M20x1.5 male metric thread. It is designed for straight, rigid connections in fluid power systems. The component suits technicians assembling or repairing hydraulic lines on industrial machinery. It is not for buyers who need angled or swivel configurations.
Installation and Common Issues
The fitting requires a compatible crimp machine and correct die set for the specified hose series. Improper crimp diameter or misaligned insertion are the primary causes of leakage or hose blow-off. Verify the hose series matches the approved list before crimping. This fitting is not for field assembly without proper crimping equipment.
Pre-Order Compatibility Check
Confirm the hose dash size is -6 and the inner diameter is 3/8 inch. Ensure the hose series is one of the approved types such as EC110, EC115, FC310, GH120, or others listed in the specifications. Check that the mating port accepts an M20x1.5 male metric thread. This fitting is not for hoses outside the listed series or different thread sizes.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Eaton Aeroquip 1A8EK6 is correctly seated after crimping onto a 3/8 in hose?
After crimping, inspect the fitting visually for full insertion and alignment; then pressurise the system to its working pressure and check the M20x1.5 joint for leaks — no weeping means the straight male metric thread is sealing as intended.
What comes with the Eaton Aeroquip 1A8EK6 and what must I source separately?
The box contains the single straight male metric crimp fitting with M20x1.5 thread for dash size -6 hose; you must supply compatible hose such as EC110, EC115, FC310 or GH663 and a crimper suited to that hose series.
Which thread size should I select for a 3/8 in hose on this Eaton Aeroquip fitting?
The only thread offered on this part number is M20x1.5, so choose it when your port requires a straight male metric connection for 3/8 in hose dash size -6.
