The Red Dot 70R2038S Straight Step-Up Splicer Fitting is designed to join two different hose sizes (8 × 10) in mobile HVAC systems. Because it uses a straight splicer design, it creates a clean, inline transition without adding elbows or changing hose routing.
This fitting uses steel construction, which improves strength and helps extend service life in high-pressure A/C systems. As a result, it performs well in trucks, buses, and off-highway equipment that operate in demanding environments.
In addition, the 70R2038S does not use threads or ports. Instead, it installs directly between hoses of different sizes. Therefore, it works well for hose repairs, system updates, and custom hose assemblies where a step-up connection is required.
Because this fitting appears across multiple aftermarket catalogs, technicians often rely on it as a trusted replacement part for mobile refrigeration service.
