#6 30 Deg Startlite Crimp Fitting

The AEROQUIP #6 30 Degree Startlite Crimp Fitting (FBM4272) is a precision-engineered hose end connector designed for high-pressure fluid transfer applications requiring reliable, leak-free performance. This aluminum construction fitting accommodates 6 AN hose and terminates at a 6 AN female swivel port, making it ideal for fuel systems, hydraulic lines, and coolant circuits where space constraints or installation angles demand a 30-degree orientation.

The 30-degree angle offset reduces strain on connected hoses and fittings, particularly valuable in tight engine bays or chassis configurations where a straight 0-degree fitting creates installation conflicts. The crimp design ensures a permanent, vibration-resistant seal without reliance on thread sealant, eliminating potential contaminant introduction and reducing maintenance concerns. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal—critical in racing, motorsport, and weight-sensitive platforms—while the red and silver finish provides visual identification and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

This fitting serves motorsport competitors, off-road vehicle builders, marine applications, and industrial hydraulic systems where 6 AN hose compatibility and angled termination are specified. Users select Startlite fittings when OEM hose routing or system design requires offset connections and when crimp reliability is preferred over field-serviceable threaded alternatives. The 1.6-inch length and compact profile integrate cleanly into confined spaces without protruding into adjacent components.

AEROQUIP Startlite fittings represent established hydraulic engineering standards, widely adopted in competition environments where connection integrity directly impacts safety and performance. The FBM4272 model number designates this specific 6 AN, 30-degree configuration, ensuring compatibility with systems designed around these exact specifications. Operators familiar with AN hose standards recognize Startlite as a dependable crimped-connection option that delivers consistent seal integrity across thermal cycles and high-vibration duty.
