16AN 45 Degree Push Lock Hose End Black

The 16AN 45 Degree Push Lock Hose End Black from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is a precision-engineered hydraulic line fitting designed for high-performance fuel, oil, coolant, and brake system applications in custom automotive builds. Built for serious enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand reliability under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, this hose end eliminates the guesswork of traditional crimped fittings. Whether you're plumbing a fuel system in a LS-swapped street machine, building a custom cooling circuit for a turbo conversion, or upgrading brake lines in a track-focused platform, this fitting delivers thread-safe, leak-free connections that withstand continuous vibration and thermal cycling.

The 45-degree orientation allows you to route hose runs at compound angles without kinking, a critical advantage when working within tight engine bays or complex underbody chassis layouts. REDHORSE's push-lock design eliminates crimping equipment and the skill variation that comes with traditional swaging—simply insert your hose, and the internal collet grips automatically for a permanent, field-serviceable connection. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance under the hood, while the 16AN size (compatible with 1-inch outer diameter hose) handles the flow demands of fuel injection, forced induction cooling, and high-pressure hydraulic brake systems. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal, a priority in any serious performance vehicle where every pound matters.

This fitting pairs seamlessly with both SAE J518 and JIC 37-degree flange ports commonly found on fuel rails, turbo intercooler cores, transmission coolers, and aftermarket radiators. Professional drag racers, road race builders, and EFI tuners rely on REDHORSE fittings because they eliminate the downtime of failed crimped connections and simplify system diagnostics during development. Installation requires only a compatible 16AN hose and basic mechanical aptitude—no specialized tools needed. For anyone serious about system integrity and wanting to eliminate potential leak points on fuel, coolant, or brake circuits, the 16AN 45 Degree Push Lock Hose End is the professional choice that delivers confidence lap after lap or mile after mile.
