The FRAGOLA #12 45-Degree Female Couple Fitting Black (496212-BL) connects two -12AN lines at a fixed 45-degree angle, giving builders a clean way to route plumbing around obstacles without kinking hose. Both ends accept standard -12AN flare hardware, so it drops straight into fuel, oil, and coolant systems built on the AN sizing standard. It's aimed at anyone running a custom fuel system, dry sump setup, or transmission cooler line where a hard bend would otherwise crowd the chassis. The black anodized finish matches the rest of FRAGOLA's hose-end and adapter lineup. Browse the full fittings, hoses and valves selection for the matching pieces.
This coupler is forged aluminum with female threads machined on both ends, measuring 4 inches in overall length per manufacturer specifications. The female-to-female layout means it mates two male AN flare ends — useful when you need to extend or reroute a run between two hose ends or adapters rather than terminating a hose. The 45-degree bend is a common pick for clearing frame rails, headers, and bulkheads where a 90-degree turn is too sharp and a straight fitting won't fit. The black anodizing resists corrosion and abrasion, holding up in engine-bay heat. If your run calls for a different angle or termination, the #12 fitting and adapter categories carry compatible -12AN hardware in the same series.
Reach for this coupler when a -12AN line needs to change direction mid-run and a straight connection puts too much stress on the hose. It's a frequent choice in motorsports fuel delivery, power steering, and oil cooler plumbing where space is tight and leak-free joints matter. Pair it with -12AN hose ends and an appropriate length of hose to complete the circuit. For larger system builds, our hose selection and the rest of the #12 fitting range cover the components you'll need to finish the job.
The #12 refers to -12AN, an industry sizing standard for fluid lines. A -12AN fitting corresponds to a 3/4-inch nominal line size. Both ends of this coupler are sized to -12AN, so it mates with any standard -12AN male flare hose end or adapter in the same series.
Yes. The 496212-BL has female AN threads on both ends, so it joins two male -12AN flare fittings. It's used to connect two hose ends or adapters together rather than to terminate a hose directly.
The fixed 45-degree bend lets you route a -12AN line around an obstruction without a sharp turn that would kink the hose. It's common for clearing frame rails, headers, and bulkheads where a straight fitting won't fit and a 90-degree turn is too tight.
It's forged aluminum with a black anodized finish. The anodizing resists corrosion and abrasion and holds up to engine-bay heat, which makes it suited to fuel, oil, and coolant plumbing in motorsports and custom builds.
