-16AN 20ft PTFE Stainl Steel Braided Flex Hose

The -16AN 20ft PTFE Stainless Steel Braided Flex Hose from VIBRANT PERFORMANCE is engineered for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant systems in modified vehicles where reliability under extreme conditions is non-negotiable. This hose assembly serves as the backbone of precision fuel delivery and fluid management in turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated engine builds where factory rubber lines fall short. Whether you're upgrading a fuel system on a late-model platform or fabricating a complete custom loop, this hose delivers the durability and flow consistency that serious builds demand.

Constructed with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) core tubing and wrapped in stainless steel braiding, the -16AN hose resists degradation from ethanol fuels, synthetic oils, and high-temperature coolant formulations that break down conventional rubber hoses. The PTFE inner layer provides superior chemical resistance and prevents fuel permeation, while the braided stainless exterior protects against abrasion, vibration, and puncture damage in engine bay environments. At 20 feet of length, this hose offers flexibility for complex routing through engine compartments, around turbochargers, and through bulkheads without requiring multiple splices that introduce leak points and flow restrictions.

Mechanics and fabricators building fuel systems for turbocharged engines, fuel cell installations, and high-flow coolant loops depend on this hose for its consistency and pressure rating across temperature extremes. The -16AN sizing accommodates high-volume fuel pumps and progressive fuel delivery systems without compression losses, making it ideal for carbureted conversions, EFI retrofits, and auxiliary cooling circuits. Installation requires standard -16AN fittings and hose clamps rated for the system's operating pressure; verify fitment with your fuel management controller's recommended hose specifications to ensure optimal system performance and safety compliance.
