#12 90 Deg Startlite Crimp Fitting

The #12 90 Deg Startlite Crimp Fitting (AEROQUIP FBM4235) is a hydraulic hose connector designed for high-pressure fluid systems in tactical vehicles, aircraft, and military equipment. This 90-degree fitting is essential for users who require reliability under extreme operational conditions, where hose failure is unacceptable.

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum, this fitting features a red anodized body and silver-plated swivel coupling. It employs a permanent crimped hose attachment and a 90-degree elbow configuration, optimizing space in tight compartments and complex piping layouts. The female swivel end allows for installation flexibility and vibration isolation, which is crucial for managing thermal cycling and mechanical shock.

Mechanics, hydraulic technicians, and military maintenance crews will find this fitting beneficial when assembling or repairing power steering, brake, or fluid transfer systems on armored vehicles and tactical transport. Its lightweight design is particularly advantageous in weight-sensitive tactical applications.
