#16 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End Straight

The #16 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End Straight provides a high-performance solution for enthusiasts and professional builders looking to secure plumbing systems in demanding environments. Designed for use with Race-Rite series hoses, this fitting is essential for high-flow cooling, oil, or fuel systems where leak-free reliability is non-negotiable. By utilizing a permanent crimp connection, this component eliminates the risks associated with traditional reusable hose ends in high-vibration applications. It is an ideal choice for those who prioritize a clean, professional finish while maintaining maximum fluid transfer efficiency.

Constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum, this fitting features a sleek black anodized finish that protects against corrosion and harsh automotive fluids. The #16 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End Straight utilizes a 16 AN female swivel to a 16 AN crimp-on interface, ensuring a precise fitment for large-diameter plumbing. The internal design is optimized for unrestricted flow, reducing turbulence and pressure drop within the system. Because it is a crimp-style fitting, it provides a more compact profile compared to screw-together alternatives, allowing for better clearance in tight engine bays.

This fitting is specifically engineered for builders who require a permanent, factory-quality seal on custom fluid lines. For a successful installation, the #16 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End Straight must be used with a dedicated crimping machine and the correct die set to ensure the collar is compressed to the manufacturer's specifications. Its compatibility with 16 AN female ports makes it a versatile component for large oil coolers, radiators, and dry sump systems. Whether you are prepping a track car or a high-end street build, this hose end offers the security needed for high-pressure fluid management.
