#12 Flare 90 Elbow Union

The #12 Flare 90 Elbow Union is a critical hydraulic and pneumatic adapter fitting engineered for high-performance automotive and motorsport applications where space constraints demand compact routing solutions. This 90-degree elbow connector allows technicians and builders to redirect AN hose lines with precision, making it essential for custom fuel systems, brake lines, transmission cooler setups, and engine bay modifications where straight runs are impractical. Whether you're fabricating a race-ready fuel delivery system or upgrading a street performance vehicle, this fitting provides the directional flexibility needed without compromising flow integrity or pressure rating.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP, a trusted leader in fluid conveyance systems, the #12 Flare 90 Elbow Union features a robust aluminum construction with blue anodized finish that resists corrosion and withstands the thermal cycling common in high-performance engine bays. The dual 12 AN male connections ensure standardized compatibility across professional-grade hose systems, while the 90-degree geometry maintains consistent wall thickness throughout the bend to prevent turbulence and pressure loss. Weighing just 0.21 lbs with compact footprint dimensions, this fitting integrates seamlessly into tight spaces without sacrificing durability—critical when building systems that see sustained boost pressure, high-temperature coolant flow, or aggressive fuel delivery demands.

Experienced mechanics and engine builders rely on this adapter when converting or rerouting hose assemblies in turbocharged systems, supercharged applications, and custom cooling loops where OEM routing no longer suits performance modifications. The anodized aluminum construction ensures longevity in salt-air environments, while the male-to-male 12 AN configuration guarantees hassle-free integration with standard -12 AN hose ends and bulk fittings. Installation requires only basic tools and a torque wrench calibrated for AN fitting specs—proper tightening prevents leaks while avoiding over-torque damage. For builders investing in precision fuel systems, intercooler setups, or auxiliary cooling circuits, this AEROQUIP elbow delivers the reliability and compact design that separates professional builds from amateur attempts.
