Aeroquip 90° Elbow Fitting Alloy Steel Blue

Description

Product Overview

The Aeroquip 90° elbow fitting is engineered for professionals who demand precision and durability in high‑performance fluid systems. Constructed from premium alloy steel, the fitting offers exceptional strength while the blue anodized coating provides superior resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and harsh chemicals. Measuring 9 x 14 x 6.5 inches and weighing only 1.6 ounces, the compact design integrates seamlessly into tight spaces. The elbow features a -06 AN (American National) hose connection on one side and a 1/4″ NPT (National Pipe Thread) on the other, enabling a clean 90‑degree change in direction without the need for additional adapters. Certified to meet industry standards, the part number FCM2616 ensures exact compatibility with existing Aeroquip product lines.

Usage

This fitting excels in automotive performance applications such as fuel delivery, coolant circulation, and turbocharger piping where a reliable bend is essential. It is also well‑suited for marine, off‑road, and racing environments where vibration and temperature extremes are common. Plumbers and DIY enthusiasts can use the elbow for residential or commercial projects that require a neat transition between flexible hose and rigid pipe, such as irrigation systems, water filtration units, and HVAC installations. The lightweight yet sturdy construction makes it easy to install with standard hand tools, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of leaks.

FAQ

What type of hose can I connect to the -06 AN side?

The -06 AN side is compatible with standard AN‑type hydraulic and fuel hoses commonly used in automotive and racing applications. Ensure the hose has the correct inner diameter for a snug fit.

Is the blue anodized finish purely cosmetic?

No. The anodized coating serves a functional purpose by protecting the alloy steel from corrosion, abrasion, and UV damage, extending the fitting’s service life in harsh environments.

Can I use this fitting for high‑pressure fuel lines?

Yes. The alloy‑steel body and precise threading are rated for typical high‑pressure automotive fuel systems. Always verify that the overall system pressure does not exceed the specifications of the connected hose and components.

Do I need any special tools to install the fitting?

Standard hand tools such as a pipe wrench or adjustable spanner are sufficient. Apply thread sealant or Teflon tape on the NPT threads for a leak‑free seal.

What is the warranty coverage?

The fitting includes a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Damage from improper installation or misuse is not covered.
