FAQs

Can I use this with any rubber hose?

No, these fittings must be used with Aeroquip Socketless hose to ensure the correct pressure seal.

Does this fitting require a hose clamp?

No, the internal barb geometry is designed to hold the hose securely without the need for additional clamps.

What is the pressure limit?

This fitting is designed for low-pressure applications; consult the specific hose technical data for exact PSI ratings.

Can I reuse the fitting?

Yes, provided the fitting threads and barb remain free of damage during removal.

Can this be used for brake lines?

Absolutely not. This fitting is not rated for the high pressures required by brake systems.

Troubleshooting

Hose is difficult to push onto the fitting

Apply a small amount of clean engine oil or soapy water to the fitting barb to act as a lubricant.

Visible leak at the connection point

Ensure the hose was cut squarely and is fully seated against the fitting shoulder; if the hose is damaged or stretched, trim the end and try again.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight design ideal for race applications
  • Swivel ends simplify installation in tight engine bays
  • Reusable fitting saves money over time
  • High-flow internal design for consistent fluid delivery

Cons

  • Not compatible with high-pressure systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the Aeroquip Socketless hose is cut square to the desired length. Push the hose onto the fitting barb by hand until the hose end is seated against the fitting shoulder; no clamps are required as the hose is designed to grip the fitting securely. For cleaning, wipe down the anodized surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that may strip the protective anodized coating. Always verify that the hose diameter exactly matches the fitting specifications before beginning the installation.
