16AN 45Deg Crimp Hose End Black

The 16AN 45Deg Crimp Hose End Black from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is a precision hydraulic and fuel line fitting engineered for high-performance automotive applications where reliability and durability are non-negotiable. This 45-degree angled connector serves as the critical link between your custom fuel or coolant system and braided hose assemblies, making it essential for engine builders, transmission specialists, and performance tuners who demand professional-grade components. Whether you're fabricating a complex fuel delivery system, upgrading brake lines, or building a custom cooling circuit, this fitting provides the secure, leak-proof connection that separates amateur installations from competition-grade work.

Manufactured from aluminum with black anodized finish, the 16AN 45Deg Crimp Hose End features a crimped design that creates a permanent, vibration-resistant bond with compatible 16 AN hose—eliminating the risk of separation under high-pressure or thermal cycling conditions common in turbocharged, supercharged, or naturally aspirated high-output engines. The 45-degree angle geometry allows for space-efficient routing around engine bay obstacles while maintaining optimal flow characteristics and reducing stress concentrations at connection points. The black anodized coating provides both corrosion resistance in harsh underhood environments and a professional appearance that complements modern engine bay aesthetics, while the aluminum construction keeps overall system weight minimal—critical for weight-sensitive performance builds.

This fitting is ideal for builders working with fuel injection systems, custom fuel rails, aftermarket radiator conversions, transmission coolers, and brake line upgrades in street, track, and off-road vehicles. The 16 AN to 16 AN female configuration ensures compatibility with standard REDHORSE Performance hose assemblies and other quality braided line products rated for 16 AN service. Installation requires proper crimping equipment and technique—use a certified hose crimper to ensure the ferrule seals completely around the hose barrel, preventing future leaks or failures. Compact at just 0.39 lbs with dimensions of 5.45 x 1.75 x 5.9 inches, this fitting integrates seamlessly into tight engine compartments while delivering the reliability that separates show-quality builds from reliable daily drivers and competition vehicles.
