Question by: Curt H on May 5, 2026, 7:56 AM
Got a fitting that's been leaking at the swivel joint on our press setup. Would this Enerpac FZ-1660 hold up at the pressures we're running, around 9,500 psi?
Answer by: Customer Support on May 7, 2026, 6:01 AM
At 9,500 psi you've got some headroom with this one. The FZ-1660 is rated to 10,000 psi maximum operating pressure, so your application falls within spec. It's a swivel-style fitting, which helps reduce hose stress and makes positioning easier during installation. Both ends are 3/8" NPTF, so as long as your existing connections match that thread type, it should drop right in as a replacement.
