#6 Startlite Hose 20'

The #6 Startlite Hose 20' is a professional-grade hydraulic and pneumatic hose assembly engineered for high-performance racing, automotive, and fluid transfer applications where reliability and weight savings are critical. Manufactured by AEROQUIP under model FCU0620, this 20-foot hose serves demanding environments where standard rubber hoses fall short—delivering the durability required in competitive motorsports, restoration projects, and industrial fluid systems. The compact 1.87 lb weight profile makes it ideal for builders prioritizing vehicle efficiency without compromising safety or performance standards.

This #6 AN (SAE -6) hose features a braided Nomex and Kevlar outer covering paired with AEROQUIP's proprietary smooth bore inner construction, a design that minimizes turbulence and pressure loss while maximizing burst strength. The braided Kevlar-Nomex weave provides exceptional abrasion and heat resistance—critical for engine bay routing and high-vibration mounting points where friction and thermal cycling demand superior material performance. The smooth bore eliminates internal turbulence that degrades flow efficiency in racing fuel systems, coolant loops, and power steering circuits, directly contributing to system responsiveness and component longevity.

Builders, race teams, and performance enthusiasts rely on the #6 Startlite Hose 20' for applications ranging from fuel delivery and coolant circulation to hydraulic brake and transmission cooler lines. The 20-foot length accommodates both point-to-point engine installations and longer chassis runs without requiring mid-line adapters. Installation requires standard -6 AN hose fittings and crimping equipment; consult your vehicle's fluid specifications and system pressure rating to ensure compatibility with this hose's design envelope.
