Overview
The Ryco Hydraulics T232N-0404 is a T200 series BITELOK one-piece crimp coupling designed for NPT male swivel applications in hydraulic systems. This fitting is specifically engineered for 1/4″ hose size with 1/4″ NPT male thread, providing secure, pressure-tight connections without the need for separate nuts or adjustments. Ryco’s precision manufacturing ensures proper sealing and eliminates the risk of costly hydraulic leaks during critical operations.
Key Features
- T200 BITELOK one-piece crimp design for single-step installation
- NPT male swivel thread for flexible hose orientation during connection
- Compatible with 1/4″ (6 DN) hydraulic hose
- Swivel mechanism allows easy installation and prevents hose twisting
- High-pressure rated crimp ferrule resists leakage under load
- Ryco quality standard—trusted in agriculture, industrial, and mobile hydraulic applications

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The T232N-0404 is Ryco’s designation for a 1/4″ NPT male swivel fitting from the T200 crimp coupling series. For matching with alternate manufacturers, verify part compatibility with your system integrator, as swivel fitting configurations vary across brands. Related Ryco models in the T200 series (such as T232N-0406, T232N-0604, T232N-0606) use different hose or thread sizes and are not interchangeable.
Works With
- Hydraulic hose crimping tools and dies (standard crimper equipment required for installation)
- Hydraulic test equipment and pressure gauges with 1/4″ NPT male connections
- Industrial hydraulic pumps, motors, and control systems with NPT ported cavities
- Mobile hydraulic systems (tractors, excavators, loaders)
- Standard SAE and ISO hydraulic schematic designs
