#8 45 Degree Hose End

The AEROQUIP #8 45 Degree Hose End fitting (FCM1023) is a precision-engineered adapter designed for high-pressure fluid transfer systems in aerospace, industrial, and mobile equipment applications. This 45-degree hose end connects 8 AN (Army-Navy) sized hose to 8 AN female ports, providing a compact angled approach ideal for confined spaces and complex plumbing layouts where straight connections are impractical.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum with blue and red anodized finish, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance while maintaining minimal weight—critical in aerospace and high-performance applications where material savings matter. The 45-degree angle reduces stress on hose bends and fittings by controlling redirect angles, improving system longevity and reducing pressure drop compared to tighter radius bends. AEROQUIP's Startlite line is recognized across the industry for tight tolerances and reliable performance under demanding pressure cycles.

This fitting is specified for applications requiring certified fluid power components—including aircraft hydraulic systems, mobile equipment fuel and fluid transfer, and industrial machinery plumbing. Technicians and engineers rely on AEROQUIP hose ends for their dimensional accuracy and seal integrity under sustained high pressure. The color-coded anodize helps with rapid system identification during assembly and maintenance.

Each unit is sold individually, allowing flexible inventory management for repair, assembly, or retrofit projects. Whether you're maintaining aerospace hydraulic systems, custom motorsport builds, or industrial fluid power circuits, having certified AEROQUIP hose ends on hand ensures compatibility and performance continuity.
