#16 90 Deg Elbow 37 Deg JIC Crimp Swivel Fitting

The AEROQUIP #16 90 Deg Elbow 37 Deg JIC Crimp Swivel Fitting (FBM4236) is a precision hydraulic hose end fitting engineered for high-pressure fluid transfer applications requiring directional flow management. This aluminum construction swivel fitting connects a 16 AN crimp hose to a 16 AN female swivel port at a 90-degree angle with a 37-degree JIC (Joint Industry Council) thread standard, making it essential for aerospace, industrial, and mobile equipment systems where space constraints and pressure cycling demand reliable directional connections.

The 90-degree elbow configuration reduces system footprint and allows hose routing around tight spaces without sharp bends that compromise pressure integrity. The 37-degree JIC thread specification provides the seal geometry standard across hydraulic and pneumatic industries, ensuring leak-free performance under sustained pressure cycling. Aluminum construction balances weight reduction with adequate strength for 16 AN line pressures, while the red and silver color-coding aids in system identification and maintenance workflow. The swivel connection allows hose repositioning and installation tolerance without over-tightening, critical for preventing thread damage during field assembly or replacement.

This fitting serves hydraulic systems in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, aircraft auxiliary systems, and pressure-operated recovery equipment where vibration, thermal cycling, and repeated hose servicing occur. Technicians and equipment operators working with 16 AN hydraulic systems—whether in fleet maintenance, heavy equipment repair, or field operations—depend on properly specified JIC swivel fittings to maintain system integrity without constant re-torquing or thread repair. The AEROQUIP FBM4236 is a direct replacement and OEM-compatible component for systems originally equipped with this specification.
