Application & Design

The Sunair BC-54706-06-06K is a 90-degree steel A/C refrigerant hose fitting engineered for heavy-duty and automotive HVAC service. Its compact elbow geometry routes #6 lines around frames, bulkheads, and compressors where straight fittings will not clear. A #6 female O-ring end with 5/8-18 UNF threads supports sealed connections on reduced barrier hose systems used in modern fleets. The 90° orientation also helps maintain proper bend radius to protect hose liners and reduce stress at the joint during vibration and thermal cycling.

Compatibility & Kit

This Burgaclip (Lifesaver) style fitting is intended for reduced barrier hose and is supplied with a fitting kit to speed field assembly. The female O-ring interface promotes leak resistance, while an all-steel body delivers durability in underhood and off-highway environments. Typical use points include compressors, receivers/driers, and service port branches in Class 3–8 trucks, buses, and vocational equipment. The included kit components support consistent clamp-up and enable technicians to complete repairs without dedicated crimp equipment, helping reduce downtime in the bay or in the field.

Specs & Cross-Reference

Key specifications include: angle 90°, hose/end size #6, thread 5/8-18 UNF, material steel, and VMRS 001-001-227. The part cross-references to Burgaflex and MEI/Air Source listings, simplifying sourcing across mixed fleets and aftermarket programs. Designed for reduced barrier hose systems, the BC-54706-06-06K provides a compact, serviceable path to restore OEM routing and maintain system integrity with fewer rework points.
