-10 45 Degree Fitting

The Vintage Air -10 45 Degree Fitting is an essential component for custom air conditioning plumbing in street rods, muscle cars, and performance vehicle builds. For builders looking to buy a reliable solution for tight engine bays, this fitting provides the necessary clearance to route AC lines away from high-heat sources and moving engine parts. It serves as a critical link between the refrigerant hose and major AC components, ensuring a leak-free system that maintains cabin comfort under demanding environmental conditions.

Engineered for durability and precision, this fitting features a 10 AN hose crimp side designed for a secure mechanical bond with standard refrigerant hoses. The opposite end utilizes a 10 AN female O-ring connection, which is the industry standard for creating a high-pressure seal in automotive HVAC systems. Constructed from a combination of aluminum and steel with a zinc oxide finish, the Vintage Air 35823-VUG is built to resist corrosion and withstand the high operating pressures of modern refrigerants like R134a.

This specific -10 45 Degree Fitting is ideal for suction side plumbing where larger diameter hoses are required to return refrigerant to the compressor. Mechanics and enthusiasts will find the 45-degree bend particularly useful for navigating around shock towers or custom accessory brackets where a straight fitting would cause restrictive hose kinking. Whether you are performing a complete climate control overhaul or a simple repair, this hose end ensures professional-grade results and long-term system specifications you can trust.
