#8 AQP Socketless Hose 20'

The #8 AQP Socketless Hose 20' is a precision-engineered hydraulic and fluid transfer line designed for high-performance automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications where reliable pressure containment is critical. This socketless design eliminates the need for separate fitting hardware, streamlining installation while maintaining structural integrity under demanding conditions. Whether you're assembling a race engine fuel system, upgrading a pneumatic line, or configuring fluid transfer in manufacturing equipment, this hose delivers the dependability professional technicians and enthusiasts demand.

Constructed from durable rubber compound in a distinctive blue finish, the #8 AQP Socketless Hose features an AN (Army-Navy) #8 designation, indicating a 1/2-inch inner diameter—the industry standard for moderate-to-high flow applications. The socketless design allows direct attachment to compatible fittings without separate ferrule or socket components, reducing assembly complexity and potential leak points. At 20 feet in length, this hose provides substantial routing flexibility for engine bays, custom installations, and industrial setups where fixed-length pre-assembled hoses fall short. The rubber construction offers excellent chemical resistance and temperature stability across typical operating ranges, making it suitable for fuel, oil, coolant, and air transfer.

This hose is ideal for custom automotive builders, restoration specialists, and industrial technicians seeking dependable fluid transfer without the cost and complexity of rigid tubing systems. Compatibility with AN #8 socketless fittings ensures straightforward integration into existing fuel systems, brake lines, transmission coolers, and pneumatic networks. Installation requires standard hose clamps and AN-compatible fittings; verify your fitting specifications before purchase to ensure seamless compatibility. The 20-foot length accommodates everything from tight underhood applications to extended remote installations, making it a versatile solution for both single-hose replacements and complete system builds.
