#10 180 Deg. Socketless

The AEROQUIP #10 180 Degree Socketless hose fitting (FCM1564) is a high-flow adapter engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic systems requiring 180-degree directional changes at a 10 AN connection point. This socketless design eliminates the need for separate socket hardware, reducing assembly complexity and weight in applications where space and simplicity are critical.

The fitting features a 10 AN hose barb inlet paired with a 10 AN female port, allowing direct hose-to-adapter connection without intermediate fittings. Its aluminum construction provides an optimal balance of strength and weight reduction, while the blue and red anodized finish offers both corrosion resistance and quick visual identification of port orientation in high-pressure systems. The 180-degree bend radius accommodates tight routing paths common in mobile equipment, aerospace platforms, and compact hydraulic assemblies where standard 90-degree or straight fittings cannot fit the available space.

Technicians and engineers specify AEROQUIP socketless fittings when vibration isolation and rapid assembly are priorities—the barb design grips hose securely without crush risk, and the socketless configuration accelerates line changeover during field maintenance. The #10 size suits medium-duty hydraulic circuits found in agricultural machinery, mobile lifts, aircraft systems, and industrial equipment where flow rates demand a larger port than #6 or #8 alternatives.

At 0.14 lbs, this compact fitting minimizes system weight while the proven AEROQUIP design standard ensures compatibility with AN-sized hose and adapter ecosystems. A single unit purchase covers one connection point; verify your hose ID and system pressure rating before installation to ensure proper sealing and performance under operating loads.
