#16 45-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting

The #16 45-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting from FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered adapter designed for high-flow fuel, coolant, and hydraulic systems in performance and racing vehicles. This 45-degree angled hose end fitting accommodates 16 AN hose to 16 AN female connections, making it essential for builders and mechanics routing lines through tight engine bays where straight runs aren't practical. Whether you're constructing a custom fuel system, upgrading cooling capacity, or assembling a turbocharged setup, this fitting handles the demands of both street and track applications.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum with black anodized finish, the #16 45-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting resists corrosion while maintaining a clean aesthetic in engine compartments. The Sport-Crimp design eliminates the need for external hose clamps, instead using a barbed internal profile that locks the hose in place under pressure—a proven method trusted in motorsports where reliability is non-negotiable. The 45-degree geometry allows flexible line routing while maintaining structural integrity, and the anodized coating protects against oxidation in harsh underhood environments exposed to fuel vapor, heat cycles, and moisture.

This fitting is ideal for fuel system integrators, drag racers, and engine builders working with 16 AN hose specifications. Installation requires proper hose preparation and the correct crimp tool to seat the hose securely onto the barbed shoulder—improper crimping will result in leaks under boost or high-pressure conditions. The lightweight construction benefits weight-conscious builds, while the black anodized finish coordinates with modern engine bay aesthetics. Verify your hose ID and AN rating before purchase; compatibility with both the hose barb diameter and the female AN port on your fuel rail or component is critical for safe operation.
