#16 90 Deg Hose End Black

The #16 90 Deg Hose End Black (FCM4436) by AEROQUIP is a precision-engineered hydraulic hose fitting designed for high-performance automotive and motorsports applications. This 90-degree elbow connector serves as the critical interface between flexible hose lines and rigid fuel, coolant, or brake system components in modern performance vehicles. It is ideal for building custom cooling systems, installing fuel cells, or routing hydraulic lines around engine bay constraints.

Constructed from durable black-anodized aluminum, the #16 hose end delivers lightweight strength while resisting corrosion and maintaining structural integrity under pressure cycling. AEROQUIP's design ensures minimal turbulence and pressure drop through the 90-degree bend geometry, which is critical for maintaining consistent coolant flow rates or fuel delivery in carbureted and fuel-injected systems alike. The fitting is designed to accommodate hoses with a 1-inch inner diameter, which is common in various automotive applications.

Mechanics and enthusiasts favor this AEROQUIP fitting for custom radiator plumbing, remote oil cooler installations, and fuel system modifications where sharp bends would compromise hose life or restrict flow. Its compact profile (4.55 x 2.6 x 7.35 in) allows for easy installation in tight spaces, making it a versatile choice for performance builds. The black finish enhances aesthetics in exposed engine bay applications, ensuring a sleek look while providing reliable performance.
