Running a transit bus fleet and need to swap out the AC hose on a few units. This is a -16 dash size, right? And what fittings are we looking at for field installation?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 9, 2025, 3:35 PM
Correct, it's a Dash -16 hose. For field installation, compatible fittings include EJ5305, EJ5361, EJ5362, EJ5306, EJ5359, EJ5360, GA25126, GA25127, and GA25128. Factory-crimped options are also available if you'd rather go that route. Just make sure you're not bending it tighter than 3.5 inches minimum bend radius during routing or you risk compromising the hose integrity.

Reckon this hose'll hold up in the engine compartment of a railcar? Gets pretty hot in there.
Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 29, 2025, 4:16 PM
Designed specifically for air conditioning and refrigeration systems, this hose handles temperatures down to -40°C, making it suitable for the demands of bus and rail applications.

got a tight spot to snake this line through, how tight can i bend the FC800-16 without kinking it
Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 7, 2025, 9:59 PM
For the Dash -16 Aeroquip Multi / Refrig hose (FC800-16), the minimum bend radius is 3.5 inches. Staying at or above that radius helps prevent kinks and keeps the reinforcement from getting stressed.
