#12 Startlite Hose 20'

The #12 Startlite Hose 20' is a high-pressure braided hose assembly engineered for demanding fluid transfer applications in racing, hydraulic systems, and tactical equipment configurations. This 20-foot hose carries a -12 AN (7/8-inch) connection size and features a braided Nomex and Kevlar construction that delivers exceptional burst resistance and thermal stability under extreme operating conditions. The smooth bore AQP design minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, critical for maintaining system efficiency in high-performance environments.

The braided Nomex/Kevlar outer layer provides superior abrasion resistance and fire-resistance properties compared to standard rubber or nylon braiding, making this hose suitable for engine bays, fuel systems, and installations exposed to radiant heat. The -12 AN size is standard in racing fuel systems, transmission coolers, and hydraulic recovery equipment. The 20-foot length accommodates routing flexibility in vehicles and mobile equipment without requiring mid-line couplers that introduce potential leak points. Black coloring aids in identification and blends with most engine compartment environments.

This hose assembly is specified for motorsports competitors, vehicle builders integrating custom hydraulic or fuel systems, and technicians managing high-pressure fluid transfer in tactical support vehicles and off-road recovery rigs. The combination of Nomex/Kevlar braiding and smooth bore construction ensures compliance with racing fuel system standards while delivering longevity in saltwater corrosion environments and temperature cycling applications. Verify compatibility with your system's pressure rating and coupling type before installation.

AN-size hose assemblies remain the industry standard in motorsports and professional-grade hydraulic applications due to their predictable performance characteristics and universal fitment across OEM and aftermarket components. The -12 AN designation (approximately 0.875-inch inner diameter) bridges the gap between smaller fuel lines and larger transmission cooler hoses, making it a versatile choice for mixed-fluid applications.
