#10 150 Deg Hose End Black

The AEROQUIP #10 150 Degree Hose End Black (FCM4454) is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting designed for high-pressure fluid transfer applications requiring acute-angle connections. This aluminum black-anodized adapter terminates an AN-10 hose to a #10 AN female swivel port, making it essential for systems where space constraints or line routing demands a sharp directional change without compromising flow integrity or safety margins.

The 150-degree geometry allows operators and technicians to redirect flow lines in tight quarters—critical in recovery vehicles, tactical mobility platforms, heavy equipment, and offshore systems where conventional 90-degree or 180-degree configurations cannot accommodate the physical layout. Aluminum construction with black-anodized finish provides corrosion resistance in harsh environments while maintaining the weight efficiency required in mobile or expeditionary applications. The swivel female port accommodates quick disconnects and external adapters, adding modularity to hydraulic assemblies. Rated for demanding duty cycles, this fitting meets industry standards for pressure retention and vibration resistance across operational ranges.

Typical users include field engineers, vehicle maintenance crews, industrial technicians, and equipment operators who specify or install custom hydraulic systems. Whether integrating into a winch assembly, brake line reconfiguration, or fluid transfer manifold, the 150-degree termination solves the geometric problem that 90-degree fittings cannot address. Each unit ships ready to install, requiring only torque to spec and line attachment to the corresponding AN-10 hose.

AN (Army Navy) standard fittings represent the baseline for high-reliability hydraulic connections across military vehicles, commercial heavy equipment, and emergency response platforms. The #10 bore size handles moderate-to-high flow volumes depending on system pressure, making it a popular choice in mid-scale hydraulic circuits. This particular angle and termination configuration is stock in specialized equipment; having spares on hand prevents system downtime when line routing requires precision fitting.
