#6 30 Degree Hose End

The #6 30 Degree Hose End from Aeroquip is an essential hydraulic fitting component designed for fuel, coolant, and transmission line applications in high-performance automotive builds and factory restoration work. Whether you're upgrading a classic muscle car's fuel delivery system, installing a custom cooling loop, or repairing OEM-spec hydraulic lines, this hose end delivers the precision fit and reliability that separates professional-grade modifications from amateur work. The 30-degree angle orientation is critical for routing lines through tight engine bays and complex suspension geometry without kinking or creating stress points that compromise system integrity.

Aeroquip's FCM4072 hose end features a #6 port size (3/8-inch inside diameter) and utilizes JIC 37-degree flared seat geometry, the industry standard for leak-free hydraulic connections under pressure. The 30-degree bend angle allows you to route hoses with minimal dead space while maintaining proper clearance from moving engine components, exhaust manifolds, and radiator shrouds. Constructed from aluminum with durable plating, this fitting handles both vacuum feed and pressure-side applications, making it suitable for fuel injection upgrades, turbo coolant feeds, and rear-axle brake line modifications on late-model and classic platforms alike.

Technicians and enthusiasts restoring fuel systems, upgrading cooling capacity, or fabricating custom line runs will appreciate the compact 3.55 x 1.8 x 5.25-inch footprint and featherweight 0.13-pound design that won't add bulk or weight to engine compartment layouts. This hose end is compatible with standard -6 AN hose and works seamlessly with Aeroquip's complete line of fittings, adapters, and swaged hose assemblies. Proper installation requires a JIC flare tool and torque wrench—hand-tightening risks leaks that can result in fluid loss, system failure, or safety hazards on the road.
