#16 Hose 6'

The AEROQUIP #16 Hose 6' is a professional-grade braided hose assembly engineered for high-performance automotive fuel and fluid transfer systems. Built for serious mechanics and performance enthusiasts who demand reliability in custom fuel systems, turbo setups, nitrous installations, and engine modifications, this hose delivers the durability required in racing and street performance applications. Whether you're building a carbureted drag engine, retrofitting a modern fuel injection system, or constructing a complex fuel distribution circuit, this six-foot section provides the critical backbone for safe, leak-free operation under demanding conditions.

Constructed from a braided stainless steel and rubber composite design, the #16 Hose maintains structural integrity under high pressure and vibration while resisting abrasion and thermal degradation common in engine bays. The -16 AN (Aeroquip National) designation indicates a 1-inch inner diameter with SAE J518 standard compatibility, making it suitable for substantial flow rates required in fuel pumps, carburetors, and fuel rails. The natural (undyed) rubber and stainless steel braid combination resists ozone cracking, UV damage, and fuel degradation, extending service life in both street and race applications. At 3.1 lbs and measuring 6 feet in length, this hose balances portability with sufficient reach for mid-engine conversions, relocated fuel cells, and complex plumbing layouts without requiring multiple splices.

This hose is ideal for fabricators, engine builders, and DIY enthusiasts upgrading fuel system plumbing during engine swaps or performance modifications. The six-foot length accommodates single runs in most applications, reducing the number of fittings and potential leak points that compromise system reliability. AEROQUIP's reputation for consistent manufacturing ensures proper hose ID and wall thickness for reliable fitting engagement and pressure retention—critical factors when operating at high fuel pump pressures (40+ PSI) common in EFI conversions and racing fuel systems. Pair this hose with AN-compatible fittings, filters, and regulators to create a complete, professional fuel circuit.
