#10 Straight Hose End

The #10 Straight Hose End (FCM1014) is a precision-engineered fitting designed for high-performance fuel, coolant, and hydraulic line applications in custom engine builds and modified vehicles. Built to AQP/Startlite specifications, this hose end adapter connects 10 AN hose to 10 AN female ports with a straight configuration, eliminating the need for bulky 90-degree elbows in tight engine compartments. Whether you're fabricating custom fuel rails, intercooler plumbing, or power steering lines, this fitting provides a clean, leak-free connection that withstands the demands of turbocharged and naturally aspirated builds alike.

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum and finished in blue and red anodized coating, the #10 Straight Hose End resists corrosion and oxidation while maintaining excellent strength-to-weight ratio critical in motorsports applications. The anodized surface provides superior protection against fuel and coolant degradation, ensuring longevity even in aggressive underhood environments. The straight orientation allows for direct routing through engine bays without unnecessary bend radius concerns, simplifying installation and reducing potential pressure drop associated with elbows. This fitting accepts standard 10 AN hose crimps and seats securely into female AN ports, creating a redundant seal that prevents weeping under operating pressure.

Mechanics and fabricators working on LS swaps, fuel system upgrades, and turbo installations will find this hose end essential for custom line routing where factory hard-line plumbing cannot accommodate modern cooling or fuel delivery systems. The lightweight aluminum construction benefits weight-conscious builds while the anodized finish ensures professional appearance in visible engine bays. Compatible with any 10 AN female port fitting, this straight adapter integrates seamlessly into existing hydraulic and fluid management systems, making it a reliable choice for both street and competition vehicles requiring modular plumbing solutions.
