#20 Hose 3'

The AEROQUIP #20 hose 3' (model FCA2003) is a professional-grade racing hose engineered for high-performance automotive hydraulic systems where reliability and durability are non-negotiable. Whether you're building a custom fuel system, upgrading brake lines, or running remote fluid transfer in a high-horsepower build, this braided stainless steel and rubber construction delivers the pressure containment and flow capacity serious enthusiasts and mechanics demand. At 3 feet in length, it offers flexibility in routing while maintaining structural integrity under demanding track or street performance conditions.

The #20 AN (aerospace nominal) designation indicates a hose rated for 1.25-inch outer diameter with a nominal ID suited to #20 fittings—a proven standard in race and performance applications. The braided stainless steel outer layer provides abrasion resistance, kink resistance, and protection against fuel and fluid degradation, while the reinforced rubber core maintains flexibility during installation and vibration cycles. This combination is essential in modern performance builds where underhood temperatures and aggressive driving create stress that standard hose cannot withstand. AEROQUIP's manufacturing pedigree ensures consistent wall thickness, burst-pressure ratings, and fitting compatibility across the entire 3-foot length.

Mechanics and fabricators favor the AEROQUIP #20 hose 3' for fuel systems in carbureted or EFI conversions, brake line upgrades, and transmission cooler circuits where factory rubber fails under heat or chemical exposure. The natural finish (uncoated stainless braid) allows easy visual inspection for leaks or damage and integrates seamlessly into engine bays where cleanliness and serviceability matter. Confirm #20 AN fitting compatibility on both ends of your application before ordering; this hose is sold individually and pairs with standard AN fittings and swaged or reusable adapters commonly stocked by performance suppliers.
