#8 Alm Tube Sleeve

The #8 AN Aluminum Tube Sleeve from AEROQUIP is a precision hydraulic fitting component designed for fluid transfer systems requiring reliable, leak-free connections. Built for professionals in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and marine applications, this tube sleeve secures tubing to AN fittings with dependable mechanical integrity. The pair configuration makes it ideal for dual-circuit setups or backup inventory in high-demand operational environments.

Engineered from aluminum and finished in blue anodize coating, this #8 AN sleeve accommodates 1/2-inch tube diameters while resisting corrosion and extending component lifespan in demanding conditions. The anodized aluminum construction delivers a balance of lightweight durability and chemical resistance, critical for systems exposed to hydraulic fluids, temperature extremes, or salt environments. The blue anodized finish serves both as a corrosion barrier and a visual identifier for AN-standard fittings, simplifying installation and maintenance protocols across complex fluid systems.

Technicians, aircraft maintenance crews, performance automotive builders, and hydraulic system integrators rely on AEROQUIP tube sleeves to ensure code-compliant, vibration-resistant connections. Compatibility with 1/2-inch tubing makes this sleeve suitable for mid-range pressure applications in brake systems, fuel lines, coolant circuits, and custom hydraulic assemblies. Installation is straightforward: slide the sleeve over the tube before inserting into the AN fitting body, where it creates a secure mechanical lock. Proper seating of the tube sleeve is essential for preventing leakage and maintaining system integrity under operational pressure.
