16AN Crimp Style Hose End Black 45

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 16AN Crimp Style Hose End Black 45 Degree (part number 7045-16-2) is a precision-engineered aluminum fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fuel line applications in performance vehicle systems. This 45-degree crimp-style connector accommodates 16 AN hose to 16 AN female connections, making it essential for custom fuel injection setups, nitrous oxide systems, and advanced cooling circuits where reliable, leak-free connections are non-negotiable.

The 45-degree angle orientation allows for efficient routing through engine bays and chassis configurations where space constraints or component placement demands directional flexibility. Constructed from aluminum with black anodized finish and natural anodized contact surfaces, this hose end delivers corrosion resistance in aggressive underhood environments while maintaining visibility of the connection point. The crimp-style design eliminates the need for threaded assembly, reducing installation time and ensuring a permanent, vibration-resistant bond when properly crimped with appropriate AN hose crimping equipment. Weighing just 0.38 lbs, it adds minimal mass while handling the high pressure cycles typical of fuel rails, turbo coolant lines, and brake cooling applications.

This fitting is engineered for builders and technicians who prioritize system integrity in modified vehicles. Whether configuring a custom fuel delivery system for a turbocharged engine, establishing secondary cooling circuits for high-performance applications, or routing nitrous distribution lines, the 16AN crimp hose end provides the pressure rating and directional flexibility required for demanding installations. The black finish integrates seamlessly into modern engine bay aesthetics while the anodized aluminum construction withstands thermal cycling and exposure to fuel and coolant.
