#6 150 Degree Hose End Swivel

The AEROQUIP #6 150 Degree Hose End Swivel (FCM4052) is a precision-engineered fluid transfer component designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fuel systems in performance vehicles and custom engine builds. This swivel fitting serves as a critical junction point where rigid or flexible hoses connect to engine blocks, transmission coolers, or aftermarket fuel rails, allowing lines to articulate without twisting or crimping.

The 150-degree swivel geometry of this fitting allows hoses to bend and redirect flow at tight angles without kinking, a feature essential in engine compartments where space is limited and routing precision matters. AEROQUIP's FCM4052 is designed to handle high-pressure applications typical for fuel injection systems, transmission coolers, and power steering applications. The swivel joint reduces vibration-induced fatigue on both the hose and mounting points.

The #6 designation refers to the SAE port size, ensuring compatibility with standard -6 JIC (37-degree flare) hose ends and adapters commonly used in motorsport and restoration work. Mechanics and fabricators will find this fitting invaluable for creating custom cooling loops or upgrading to braided stainless steel hoses, as it eliminates stress concentrations and extends component lifespan in demanding automotive applications.
