Product Overview

The Sunair BC-54710-08-08 is a steel A/C refrigerant hose fitting for automotive and heavy-duty applications. It combines a female O-ring swivel connection with an integrated R12 service port to support R12-type service procedures while maintaining a secure hose interface. The fitting is specified with 3/4-16 thread size and a #8 hose end, and it is built in a straight configuration for clean routing in crowded engine compartments. Connector style is Burgaclip, aligning with common hose systems used in the field. Classified under VMRS 001-001-227, the BC-54710-08-08 is readily identifiable for fleet maintenance and parts inventory management. Steel construction and a precision O-ring sealing surface provide a robust, leak-resistant connection suitable for refrigerant line assemblies exposed to vibration and heat.

Design and Serviceability

Designed for serviceability, the integrated R12 port preserves access for evacuation, charging, and diagnostics without disturbing the primary hose connection. The female O-ring swivel aids alignment during installation to reduce hose twist and improve sealing consistency. Standardized 3/4-16 threads help ensure compatibility with common A/C ports and tooling, minimizing installation time and rework. The straight body and #8 hose interface offer predictable packaging for new builds and repairs, while the Burgaclip-style interface supports adoption in shops using compatible assemblies. Country of origin is United States. For cross-reference, a related interchange is Burgaflex BC547100808. Together, these specifications make the BC-54710-08-08 a practical choice wherever a steel, straight female O-ring fitting with R12 service capability and 3/4-16 threaded interface is required.
