EATON 1A Series Female ORS Swivels

What is the maximum pressure rating for Eaton 1A Series female ORS swivels?

The maximum pressure rating for Eaton 1A Series female ORS swivels depends on the size & material of the fitting. A 1/4 inch steel fitting has a maximum pressure rating of 10000 psi, while a 3/4 inch stainless steel fitting has a maximum pressure rating of 5000 psi.

What is the difference between a swivel and a non-swivel hydraulic fitting?

A swivel hydraulic fitting has a rotating connection to rotate the fitting freely on the end of the hose / tube. It prevents twisting or kinking of the hose / tube during installation or operation, while a non-swivel hydraulic fitting does not have a rotating connection and is fixed in place.

How do I maintain these ORS swivels?

• Inspect fittings regularly for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks, corrosion or leaks. Replace any damaged or worn fittings immediately.
• Keep the fittings clean and free from debris or contaminants.
• Use a clean rag to wipe down the fittings before installation or after use.
• Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as hydraulic oil or grease, to the O-ring seal and threads to prevent damage during installation.
• Ensure that the fitting material is compatible with the hydraulic fluid being used in the system.
• Store the fittings in a clean and dry location.
• Do not stack fittings on top of each other or expose them to direct sunlight.
