#8 30 Degree Hose End

The AEROQUIP #8 30 Degree Hose End (FCM4073) is a precision-engineered AN hose fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid transfer systems in tactical vehicles, aircraft, and specialized equipment. This 8 AN hose-to-female swivel adapter combines aluminum construction with blue and red anodized finish, delivering reliable performance in demanding operational environments where leak-free connections are non-negotiable.

The 30-degree angle design accommodates space-constrained routing common in vehicle engine bays, avionics compartments, and recovery equipment assemblies. The female swivel termination allows directional adjustment without twisting the hose itself, reducing installation time and fatigue on hydraulic lines during field maintenance. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal while the anodized finish resists corrosion in salt air and harsh climates—critical for coastal operations and extended deployments. Weighing just 0.18 lbs, this fitting integrates into systems where every ounce matters without compromising structural integrity or pressure ratings.

Operators and technicians maintaining hydraulic systems on tactical platforms—from ground vehicles and aircraft to portable field equipment—rely on AEROQUIP fittings for consistent performance under pressure. This adapter is essential for anyone fabricating, repairing, or upgrading fluid systems where AN-standard connections are specified. The swivel female end simplifies installation in tight quarters while the 30-degree geometry prevents kinks and routing conflicts that compromise hose life and system efficiency.

AEROQUIP is recognized throughout aerospace and defense sectors for meeting stringent pressure and safety standards. The #8 30 Degree Hose End represents the precision-engineered approach that professional maintainers expect when managing mission-critical hydraulic systems.
