#10 x 9' AC S.S. Braided Hose

The AEROQUIP #10 x 9' AC Stainless Steel Braided Hose (FCF1009) is a professional-grade air conditioning refrigerant line designed for automotive climate control systems requiring reliable fluid transfer under high-pressure conditions. This 9-foot hose assembly features a braided stainless steel construction with nylon interior, engineered to handle the demands of R-134a and compatible refrigerant systems while resisting corrosion and maintaining structural integrity in engine compartment environments.

The #10 AN fitting specification indicates a 5/8-inch outer diameter connection point, the industry standard for mid-range AC refrigerant applications. Braided stainless steel jacketing protects the inner nylon core from abrasion, UV exposure, and thermal cycling—critical factors in maintaining system pressure and preventing refrigerant leakage over extended service intervals. The nine-foot length accommodates routing flexibility across engine bay layouts while minimizing unnecessary bends that could compromise flow or structural integrity. This hose assembly ships as a single pre-assembled unit, eliminating field fabrication variables and ensuring consistent performance.

Technicians restoring or servicing classic and modern vehicles rely on AEROQUIP AC hose assemblies for OEM-equivalent replacement and system rebuilds. The braided stainless construction resists crimping during installation and withstands pressure cycling without fatigue failure, making it suitable for high-demand climates and stop-and-go driving cycles. Whether upgrading an aging air conditioning system or completing a full refrigerant circuit restoration, this #10 AN hose provides the durability and specification compliance required for reliable long-term performance.
