16AN Swivel Hose Ends Black STR

The 16AN Swivel Hose Ends Black STR from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is a straight aluminum hose fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fuel line applications. This 1000 series connector accommodates 16 AN hose to 16 AN female ports, making it an essential component for custom fuel systems, hydraulic brake setups, power steering installations, and engine management builds where reliable fluid transfer is non-negotiable. Black anodized finish provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a professional appearance in engine bays and mechanical assemblies.

The straight configuration eliminates angular transitions, reducing turbulence and pressure loss across the connection point—critical where flow rate and system efficiency directly impact performance. REDHORSE Performance fittings are engineered to SAE standards with precision-machined aluminum construction that balances weight savings against the structural demands of pressurized systems. The swivel design permits rotation during installation, simplifying alignment with mating components and accommodating hose routing constraints without requiring multiple fitting sizes. At 0.33 lbs, this single-unit fitting integrates seamlessly into systems where weight efficiency matters, such as motorsports applications, vintage restorations, and custom off-road vehicle builds.

This fitting serves builders, technicians, and performance enthusiasts who demand precision in fuel and hydraulic system design. Whether plumbing a carbureted or fuel-injected engine, integrating a custom cooling loop, or constructing a dedicated brake system for track use, the 16AN swivel hose end provides the connection quality necessary to maintain system integrity under sustained pressure. Black anodized aluminum resists oxidation in both dry and damp environments, eliminating concerns about galvanic corrosion or surface degradation over extended service intervals.

REDHORSE 1000 series fittings are recognized across performance automotive, aviation, and marine markets for consistent quality and proven durability. The 16AN size accommodates mid-range flow demands, positioning this fitting as a versatile choice for both single-circuit applications and integrated multi-system platforms common in modern engine swaps, LSx conversions, and purpose-built race vehicles.
