The AEROQUIP #16 120 Degree Startlite Crimp Fitting (FBM4246) is a precision hose end connector engineered for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid transfer systems where space is constrained and directional control is critical. This 120-degree swivel configuration accommodates tight installations on aircraft, tactical vehicles, and specialized equipment where standard 90-degree or straight fittings cannot accommodate the available layout. Constructed from lightweight aluminum with a red and silver finish, the fitting combines weight savings with corrosion resistance—essential characteristics for mobile platforms operating in variable environments.
The 16 AN (Army/Navy) sizing and crimp configuration deliver industry-standard pressure ratings and compatibility with existing 16 AN hose assemblies. The female swivel end allows for tool-free disconnection and reconnection during field maintenance or component swaps, reducing downtime and eliminating the need for wrenches in confined spaces. Startlite crimp fittings are engineered to aerospace standards and widely used in military-grade fluid systems where reliability under pressure and temperature cycling is non-negotiable. The 120-degree angle reduces stress on the hose at the connection point compared to sharp bends, extending hose service life in high-vibration environments typical of aircraft and off-road tactical platforms.
This fitting serves applications in aircraft hydraulic systems, military vehicle brake and fuel lines, and emergency response equipment where dependable connections under extreme conditions are mandatory. Operators and maintainers in aviation, ground transport, and specialized tactical roles rely on AEROQUIP fittings to prevent catastrophic failure during critical operations. A single fitting weighs 0.28 lbs—negligible in most installations but meaningful when aggregated across weight-sensitive platforms.
