#16 150-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting

The #16 150-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting from Fragola is a precision-engineered hydraulic and fuel line connector designed for high-performance automotive applications where space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable. This 16 AN hose fitting serves as a critical junction point in custom fuel systems, transmission coolers, and power steering setups—anywhere you need to route fluid lines around engine bays with complex geometries. Purpose-built for street machines, race cars, and heavily modified trucks, this crimp fitting eliminates the need for bulky elbows and allows builders to achieve clean, compact line routing that factory designs simply cannot accommodate.

The 150-degree crimp design allows hoses to be routed at intermediate angles without sacrificing strength or introducing weak points at connection joints. Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance under the hood. The sport-crimp configuration accepts 16 AN hose barbs on both the inlet and outlet sides, providing a secure mechanical bond that handles high-pressure fuel delivery and hydraulic fluid transfer without leaking. Aluminum construction keeps overall system weight minimal—critical for performance builds where every pound matters—while the anodized finish protects against oxidation in engine bay environments where salt spray and heat cycles would otherwise degrade bare aluminum.

Custom fabricators, fuel system integrators, and DIY enthusiasts rely on the #16 150-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting when building bespoke fuel delivery systems or upgrading cooling circuits on turbocharged engines where stock line routing cannot be reused. Its 16 AN sizing accommodates the high flow rates necessary for fuel-injected engines running elevated boost levels or engines requiring dedicated transmission cooler circuits. Installation is straightforward—simply crimp the hose onto the barbed ends using a proper AN hose crimper, ensuring you're using compatible 16 AN hose for a leak-free seal. This fitting pairs seamlessly with other Fragola sport-crimp components and standard 16 AN hose assemblies available through TacticalSurplusUSA, making it an essential part of any serious engine bay build.
