The -16AN 10ft PTFE Stainless Steel Braided Flex Hose from Vibrant Performance is engineered for high-pressure fuel, coolant, and transmission fluid systems in street cars, race vehicles, and custom engine builds. This hose assembly is purpose-built for enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand reliability under extreme conditions, whether you're upgrading a carbureted classic, modernizing a vintage drag car, or plumbing a custom fuel system on a turbocharged platform. The 10-foot length provides flexibility in routing through tight engine bays, around headers, and along frame rails without requiring multiple splices or adapters.
Constructed with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) core and stainless steel braiding, this -16AN hose offers superior chemical resistance and temperature stability compared to rubber or synthetic alternatives, handling fuel systems with ethanol blends and maintaining integrity in underhood environments exceeding 250°F. The stainless steel braided sleeve provides abrasion protection, prevents ballooning under peak fuel pressure, and resists UV degradation—critical when routed near turbochargers, superchargers, or exhaust manifolds. The -16AN AN/JIC fitting size accommodates high-flow fuel delivery systems, making this hose ideal for carburetors, mechanical fuel pumps, electric fuel systems, and transmission coolers on modern performance builds.
Professional engine builders and fuel system specialists rely on this hose for custom fuel systems, nitrous oxide delivery lines, and transmission cooling circuits where pressure rating and material compatibility are non-negotiable. Installation requires -16AN hose ends (sold separately) crimped or swaged to your specific fitting requirements; many builders prefer this over pre-assembled units for routing flexibility and custom geometry. The 10-foot length reduces the need for multiple segments, lowering potential leak points and simplifying pressure testing during dyno sessions or on-track validation.
