#12 Straight Hose End

The #12 Straight Hose End from AEROQUIP is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting designed for professional-grade fluid power applications in automotive systems. Whether you're building a custom hydraulic brake line, power steering circuit, or fuel delivery system, this straight end connector provides the reliable interface mechanics and performance enthusiasts demand when fabricating or repairing critical fluid delivery networks. As a mechanic working with modified vehicles, you'll appreciate AEROQUIP's reputation for delivering fittings that maintain integrity under pressure and temperature extremes.

The #12 designation indicates a JIC (Joint Industry Council) standard port size, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard hose assemblies and adapters used across hydraulic systems. AEROQUIP manufactures this straight hose end from durable materials engineered to resist corrosion, vibration fatigue, and pressure cycling—critical factors in high-performance automotive environments where hydraulic lines experience constant expansion and contraction. The straight configuration eliminates elbow geometry, reducing turbulence and pressure drop while simplifying installation in tight engine compartments or custom frame builds where space is limited.

Professional mechanics, fabricators, and restorers select this fitting for custom brake systems, fuel injection pressure management, and hydraulic clutch conversions where OEM routing won't accommodate modern modifications. Its compact profile—measuring 5.05 inches in overall length and weighing just 0.18 lbs—makes it ideal for weight-conscious builds and applications requiring minimal footprint. Installation requires proper crimping or swaging with approved hose assembly equipment; verify your hose size matches #12 JIC specifications before ordering to ensure leak-free connections that perform reliably across thousands of miles.
