#8 30 Deg Hose End Black

The AEROQUIP #8 30 Degree Hose End Black (FCM4473) is a precision aluminum hose fitting designed for high-pressure fluid systems requiring reliable directional flow control. This 30-degree angled hose end connects 8 AN hose to an 8 AN female swivel, enabling operators and technicians to route hydraulic, brake, or fuel lines around tight engine compartments and vehicle frames without kinking or crimping the hose itself. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and oxidation in harsh field conditions, from desert operations to salt-air environments.

Manufactured to AEROQUIP Startlite specifications, this aluminum hose end fitting delivers a lightweight alternative to steel while maintaining full structural integrity under sustained pressure cycles. The 30-degree geometry is critical for installations where a straight 0-degree fitting would create stress points or foul against frame rails and engine accessories. The female swivel connection accommodates both JIC 37-degree and SAE flat-face quick-disconnects, providing flexibility across different system architectures. At just 0.17 lbs, this component contributes minimal weight to custom hydraulic systems, recovery winches, and off-road fluid routing.

This fitting is specified in marine, automotive, aerospace, and tactical vehicle platforms where line routing precision matters. Operators working with custom brake systems, auxiliary hydraulics, and fuel delivery in vehicles like Humvees, trucks, and off-road rigs rely on angled hose ends to achieve compact, low-stress installations that pass pressure testing and vibration resistance standards. The 8 AN size handles flows up to approximately 60 gallons per minute at rated pressure, making it suitable for steering assist, winch control, and fuel transfer applications.
