Overview
Choose BT8-8578F when you need #8 diameter for balanced flow and exact cut lengths.
Because it mates with clip-style cages, clips, and O-rings, you can assemble lines on-vehicle without a crimper—great for fast service and tight routing.
Function & Performance
-
#8 size (13/32″ I.D.) supports solid mass flow for medium-capacity circuits and longer runs.
-
Clip-style joints deliver secure, leak-resistant connections with the correct cage/clip/O-ring set.
-
Suitable for common mobile A/C refrigerants (e.g., R-134a).
Durability & Design
-
Built for mobile environments with vibration and temperature swings.
-
Flexible routing and crimpless assembly help reduce downtime during retrofits and field repairs.
Installation
Cut square, clean the ends, and assemble with the matching #8 clip-style cage, clips, and O-ring.
Push to depth, seat the cage, and set the clips per the guide. No hydraulic crimper required.
Applications
Heavy trucks, buses, agriculture, construction, and specialty vehicles.
Use for suction or discharge lines where #8 diameter fits the system spec and routing needs.
