Constructed from carbon steel, this Eaton Aeroquip fitting is a nipple assembly designed for high-demand hydraulic hose connections. End Type 1 is flanged with an end size of 4, while End Type 2 accommodates a line, hose, or tube with a female connection at a -40 hose dash size. The 5.44 drop dimension supports proper routing and clearance in confined installations.
The Aeroquip Fitting is suited for hydraulic systems requiring reliable flanged-to-hose transitions, and Eaton's fluid compatibility documentation is available for reference when matching this fitting to specific media. Carbon steel construction provides the structural integrity expected in demanding industrial hydraulic applications.
What kind of connection does the second end on this fitting make, and what hose size does it take?

End two is a female connection sized for a -40 hose dash size, so you're looking at a fairly large bore hose hookup on that side. The first end is flanged with a size 4 flange. Basically it bridges a flanged port over to a big hose line, which comes up pretty regular in heavy hydraulic setups where you've got a flanged manifold or pump port and need to run hose out from it.
