#8 Teflon Hose 15'

The AEROQUIP #8 Teflon Hose 15' (FCC0815) is a braided stainless steel PTFE racing hose engineered for high-pressure hydraulic and fuel system applications. This 15-foot hose combines the thermal stability and chemical resistance of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing with the durability of stainless steel braiding, making it suitable for performance vehicles, motorsports, aerospace fluid transfer, and industrial hydraulic systems where reliability under extreme conditions is non-negotiable.

The #8 AN (metric equivalent -8) designation indicates a nominal inner diameter of 0.5 inches, rated for high-pressure service in fuel delivery, coolant circulation, and hydraulic control lines. The PTFE core resists degradation from fuel ethanol, brake fluid, coolant additives, and extreme temperature swings—a critical advantage over rubber hose in racing and hot-rod engine bays. The braided stainless exterior protects against abrasion, UV exposure, and ozone attack while maintaining flexibility for routing through tight engine compartments. Weighing just 2.22 pounds for the full 15-foot length, this hose balances structural integrity with minimal weight penalty—important in performance applications where every pound counts.

This hose is purpose-built for drag racing fuel systems, high-performance cooling circuits, custom automotive hydraulics, and motorsports where standard rubber hose cannot withstand sustained heat, pressure spikes, or chemical exposure. The 15-foot length accommodates fuel cells, remote coolers, and transverse engine configurations common in vintage and modern race builds. Users working with forced-induction engines, superchargers, and turbocharged platforms benefit from the superior pressure rating and thermal stability PTFE delivers compared to conventional hose. Each hose is supplied as a single unit ready for assembly with appropriate AN fittings and adapters.
