Description
The #8 straight beadlock fitting for building leak-free A/C hose
This is the straight #8 female O-ring beadlock fitting used to build and repair automotive air-conditioning hose. One end is a female O-ring swivel that screws onto a male insert O-ring fitting; the other is a beadlock crimp shell that locks permanently onto #8 (13/32″) barrier hose. Pair it with #8 hose and a beadlock crimper for a clean, factory-quality connection.
Know exactly what you’re ordering
Here’s how the #8 size breaks down for this fitting:
Female O-ring one end, beadlock crimp the other
The female O-ring swivel screws onto a male insert O-ring fitting — the O-ring on the male insert seals inside the female, giving a positive, serviceable connection with no flaring and no thread sealant. The beadlock end slides over #8 barrier hose and its outer shell is crimped down to lock the hose permanently to the fitting.
You’ll need a crimper. The beadlock end is a permanent crimp — installed with a hydraulic A/C hose crimper and #8 dies, not by hand. The female O-ring swivel end threads on and off normally.
