#10 45 Degree Hose End Push Lock

The #10 45 Degree Hose End Push Lock fitting is a precision-engineered adapter designed for high-pressure fluid systems requiring dependable connections. This 10 AN hose end fitting connects a 10 AN hose barb to a 10 AN female port with a 45-degree angle orientation, ideal for applications where space constraints or existing system layouts demand non-straight entry angles. The push-lock design eliminates the need for traditional compression fittings or clamps, delivering rapid assembly and disassembly in maintenance-intensive environments.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting provides corrosion resistance while maintaining lightweight properties essential in motorsports, hydraulic systems, and fluid transfer applications. The anodized surface protects against oxidation in humid or salt-air environments while preserving the strength-to-weight ratio that aluminum delivers. The 45-degree configuration reduces turbulence and pressure drop compared to 90-degree alternatives in certain plumbing layouts, while the push-lock mechanism ensures secure seating without over-tightening, reducing the risk of thread damage or fitting failure during high-cycle applications.

This fitting serves automotive tuning, aircraft fuel systems, marine hydraulics, industrial fluid transfer, and performance engine builds where compatibility with 10 AN hose and port standards is required. The compact dimensions (2.1 x 1.25 x 4.7 inches) and minimal weight (0.09 lbs) make it suitable for engine bays, fuel cell installations, and other space-constrained assemblies. Users value the repeatable reliability of push-lock technology in applications that undergo frequent maintenance or reconfiguration, eliminating the variability introduced by hand-tightened compression nuts.

The 10 AN standard (equivalent to 5/8-inch SAE hose) is the industry baseline for high-flow fuel, coolant, and hydraulic circuits in performance and professional applications. This fitting integrates seamlessly into existing 10 AN systems, ensuring compatibility across matched hose sizes, port specifications, and adapter components already in service.
