#10 45 Deg Hose Fitting P/C Crimp-On

The #10 45 Deg Hose Fitting P/C Crimp-On by Russell is a purpose-built hydraulic and fuel line connector engineered for high-performance automotive applications where reliability and leak-free operation are non-negotiable. Designed for mechanics and enthusiasts building custom fuel systems, turbo plumbing, or hydraulic brake upgrades, this crimp-on fitting directs fluid flow at a 45-degree angle to optimize space constraints in engine bays and transmission tunnels. Whether you're fabricating a fuel surge tank system, upgrading cooling lines, or assembling a custom roll cage brake setup, this fitting serves as a critical connection point that must handle pressure and vibration without failure.

This fitting accepts #10 AN (10-JIC) hose—the industry standard for high-flow fuel and hydraulic applications—and features a female port designed to crimp directly onto hose barbs using proper crimping tools. Russell's aluminum construction with black and silver anodized finish resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance under the hood; the anodized layer protects against oxidation in engine heat and exposure to fuel vapors. The 45-degree geometry allows you to route hose runs around engine components, firewall penetrations, and frame rails without kinking or sharp bends that would restrict flow or weaken hose integrity over thousands of heat cycles.

This fitting is essential for anyone fabricating custom fuel delivery, cooling, or brake hydraulic systems on street cars, race vehicles, or off-road builds. Mechanics assembling fuel injection conversions, nitrous oxide systems, or aftermarket cooling loops rely on crimp-on fittings to create permanent, pressure-rated connections that outlast push-lock or barbed alternatives. Ensure your hose size matches #10 AN specification and use a dedicated crimping tool—never rely on hose clamps alone—to achieve the rated working pressure and prevent leaks that could compromise engine bay safety or system performance during extended driving or track use.
