BT8-8608 Reduced Barrier Refrigerant Hose #8

The BT8-8608 Reduced Barrier Refrigerant Hose is a #8 refrigerant hose for compatible mobile A/C applications.
It is designed for use where a reduced barrier A/C hose is required.

This hose is listed as #8 refrigerant reduced barrier Class 1 hose.
It has a listed 13/32 in. inside diameter and 0.69 in. outside diameter.

As a result, it is a useful hose option for mobile A/C service, hose assembly work, and heavy-duty HVAC applications.

Function and Performance

A refrigerant hose carries refrigerant through the A/C system.
It connects major system components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and related fittings.

The BT8-8608 uses a reduced O.D. barrier hose construction.
This can help with hose routing where a reduced outside diameter hose is preferred.

This hose is associated with mobile A/C refrigerant hose applications using R12 and R134a refrigerants.
Because hose fitment depends on size, fitting style, routing, and system design, compare your current hose and fittings before ordering.

Durability and Design

The BT8-8608 is a #8 reduced barrier refrigerant hose.
It is listed with a 13/32 in. I.D. and 0.69 in. O.D.

The supplied reference notes identify this hose as part of the Galaxy 4890 product family.
It is also listed as SAE J2064 Type C, Class I.

This hose may align with the ATCO 5-3800 hose family when the size suffix is -8.
Do not use the base 5-3800 family number alone to confirm fitment.

Installation

Install this hose according to the A/C system or hose assembly procedure.
Before installation, confirm hose size, fitting type, crimp style, and routing.

Cut the hose cleanly before installing fittings.
Then crimp or assemble the fittings according to the fitting manufacturer’s specifications.

After installation, evacuate, leak test, and charge the A/C system according to the correct service procedure.
