Dura-Kote plating advantage

Corrosion spreads- choose your components wisely!

In a 650 hours salt spray test Eaton’s family of components showed no corrosion migration in comparison to an assembly that combined an Eaton fitting with competitor components. This test illustrates why it is so important to choose Eaton components for your entire hose assembly.

Same exceptional Eaton adapters —with improved corrosion resistance
Eaton adapters now come with Dura-Kote plating, which gives you up to 1,000 hours of corrosion resistance. Dura-Kote is an innovative plating technology for steel adapters, offering more corrosive protection for longer life, lower replacement costs, and improved appearance. This corrosion protection decreases the likelihood of leaking, which means less equipment downtime and greater productivity. Plus, there are no compatibility issues with Dura-Kote plating. The Eaton adapters you rely on today will look ,feel, and perform exactly the same.
  • Same form and functional capabilities
  • Same torque values and pressure ratings
  • Same silver appearance
  • Same procedures for assembly

Expand the equation.

Achieve operating pressures up to 50% more than SAE.

Discover the additional value of using an Eaton system of products designed to work together to achieve even higher operating pressures. When Eaton hoses are combined with Eaton TTC, Z-Series, or 4S/6S fittings and Eaton adapters, assemblies can perform up to 50% higher pressures than the SAE rating.

Precision-machined, SAE-approved Eaton brass adapters are manufactured out of durable UNS C36000 brass. This provides outstanding corrosion resistance for a variety of applications from air brake to hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Large, uniform wrench pad areas have standard dimensions for easy assembly and disassembly using standard open-end wrenches.

Some of the available brass adapters include:

  • SAE 45° flare
  • Pipe
  • Air brake
  • Polyline flareless
  • Selfalign
  • Drain cocks
  • Valves
  • Molded tube compression
  • Plastic tubing
  • And many more

Eaton STC Snap-To-Connect

Patented STC Snap-To-Connect products are threadless connectors that keep equipment up and running longer with simple, leak-free connections.

Eaton has the broadest range of threadless connectors in the industry, and our patented STC technology excels in rigorous mobile applications in agriculture, construction, forestry, transportation, utility and lawn and turf. Because of their easy installation even in confined spaces, and virtually zero-leak performance (per SAE J1176), more than 25 million STC connections are currently in use worldwide.

STC benefits:

  • Fast reliable one-hand connections requiring no assembly tools
  • Eliminates cross-threading, over or undertorquing, and hose twisting
  • Virtually zero leak performance
  • Direct porting eliminates adapters to maximize cost savings
  • Resists external contamination
  • Allows easy disconnection with release tool

Finding the Eaton adapter number is easy using the cross-reference tool

Just type in the former Weatherhead and Aeroquip part numbers or competitive products to find the new Eaton-branded part number.
