16AN 45Deg Crimp Hose End Black

The 16AN 45Deg Crimp Hose End Black from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting designed for high-pressure fuel, coolant, and brake line applications in modified and high-performance vehicles. This crimp-style hose end serves builders and mechanics who demand reliability in custom fuel systems, turbo setups, and race-prepared engines where OEM hose routing won't work. Whether you're building a custom fuel system for a turbocharged engine or upgrading coolant lines on a heavily modified platform, this 16AN fitting delivers the durability and leak-free performance that separates professional builds from amateur installations.

The 45-degree angle design allows tight routing around engine bays and tight spaces without kinking or stressing the hose, critical when working around intercoolers, radiators, and custom headers. The black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion from fuel ethanol, coolant additives, and moisture exposure while maintaining structural integrity under vibration and thermal cycling. REDHORSE PERFORMANCE's crimp architecture ensures a permanent, crush-sealed connection that won't weep or fail under the sustained pressure cycles of drag racing, road racing, or daily-driven turbocharged applications—far superior to push-lock or compression fittings in extreme conditions.

This fitting is ideal for fuel system builders, engine tuners, and fabricators working with AN-spec hose on LS swaps, turbo platforms, and fuel cell conversions. Installation requires a proper AN crimp tool and 16AN hose—the crimp creates an irreversible seal that eliminates the need for thread sealant or repeated re-tightening. Compatibility spans any system accepting 16AN (10/32" thread) connections, including custom fuel rails, surge tanks, radiators, and intercooler feeds on track-focused and street-performance vehicles.
