#16 45 Deg Ano-Tuff Hose end

The EARLS #16 45 Deg Ano-Tuff Hose End (AT804616ERL) is a precision-engineered fitting designed for high-performance automotive hydraulic systems, fuel lines, and brake applications. Built for mechanics and fabricators who demand reliability under pressure, this 16 AN hose end connector delivers the swivel-seal technology that prevents leaks in competition vehicles, custom builds, and street performance rigs. Whether you're assembling a race fuel system or upgrading your vehicle's brake lines, this fitting ensures rock-solid connections without compromise.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, the EARLS Ano-Tuff hose end features a 45-degree angle orientation that optimizes routing flexibility in tight engine bays and chassis configurations. The 16 AN female swivel connection accepts 16 AN hose and provides full 360-degree rotation, eliminating stress on hose runs during vibration and thermal cycling. The swivel-seal design incorporates a dynamic seal that maintains integrity even as components move independently—critical in performance applications where hose vibration can compromise traditional fixed fittings. At just 0.32 lbs, the compact aluminum construction (2.15 x 1.85 x 6.2 inches) integrates cleanly into confined spaces without adding unnecessary weight.

This fitting suits custom fuel system builders, drag racers, and street performance enthusiasts who run braided stainless steel hose and require precision AN fittings. The 45-degree angle is ideal for downward-facing fuel rail connections, return line routing, and brake system layouts where straight fittings would cause sharp bends or routing conflicts. Installation requires 16 AN hose preparation and standard SAE fitting tools; the anodized aluminum handles repeated assembly and vibration without galling. Verify your system's pressure rating and hose size before ordering to ensure compatibility with your application's specifications.
