#16 45 Degree Hose End

The #16 45 Degree Hose End is a precision hydraulic fitting engineered for high-pressure fluid line applications in tactical vehicles, military equipment, and emergency response platforms. Designed for professionals who demand reliability under extreme operational conditions, this AEROQUIP component connects 16 AN hose assemblies with a 45-degree angle configuration that optimizes space efficiency in confined equipment bays. Whether integrated into helicopter door gun mounts, armored personnel carrier hydraulic systems, or mobile command units, this fitting eliminates kinks and pressure loss in critical fluid transfer lines.

Constructed from aluminum alloy with blue and red anodized finish, the #16 45 Degree Hose End features a female swivel design that accommodates 16 AN male hose connections on both ends, allowing for smooth rotation during installation and maintenance without thread stripping. The 45-degree offset geometry distributes hydraulic pressure evenly while reducing stress concentrations at the joint—a critical advantage in vehicles experiencing high vibration or dynamic load cycling. AEROQUIP's proven manufacturing standards ensure consistent wall thickness and thread concentricity, maintaining system integrity across temperature extremes and high-flow scenarios typical of military hydraulic networks. The anodized finish provides corrosion resistance essential for coastal operations, desert deployments, or marine-based tactical platforms.

Maintenance personnel and equipment technicians rely on this fitting for hydraulic system repairs, upgrades, and field modifications across military branches and law enforcement agencies. Its compact footprint (4.45 x 1.9 x 4.55 inches) and lightweight design (0.33 lbs) make it ideal for weight-sensitive platforms such as tactical aircraft or mobile strike teams where every pound impacts mission duration. Installation requires standard AN wrench sizes and compatibility with existing 16 AN hose assemblies—verify hose construction rating matches your system's maximum operating pressure before deployment.
