180 Degree Hose End Fitt ing; Hose Size: -10 AN

The VIBRANT PERFORMANCE 180 Degree Hose End Fitting for -10 AN hose is a precision-engineered fluid connector designed for high-performance hydraulic and fuel line applications. This swivel-type fitting delivers a 180-degree directional change, allowing lines to be routed efficiently around engine bays, chassis components, and tight spaces where straight or 90-degree configurations won't fit. Constructed from aluminum with black anodized finish, the fitting provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance while maintaining the lightweight properties essential to performance vehicle builds.

The -10 AN hose size (.625-inch inner diameter) is rated for moderate to high-pressure applications and is a standard specification across custom fuel systems, turbo cooling lines, and transmission cooler setups. The swivel feature permits final hose adjustment without twisting the fitting itself, reducing installation stress on connected components and hose ends. The 180-degree configuration means the inlet and outlet are parallel and opposite, ideal for return lines, bypass circuits, and applications requiring maximum space efficiency. Black anodized aluminum resists oxidation and corrosion better than bare aluminum, particularly in engine compartments where heat cycling and moisture exposure are continuous concerns.

This fitting is suited for builders and technicians assembling custom cooling systems, fuel delivery upgrades, and hydraulic brake or clutch lines where routing flexibility is critical. It's equally valuable in motorsport applications, off-road vehicle modifications, and street performance builds where space is at a premium and line management must be both functional and aesthetically clean. The precise 180-degree angle eliminates guesswork and reduces the need for multiple 90-degree fittings in series, which can introduce unnecessary volume and potential leak points.

VIBRANT PERFORMANCE is recognized in the automotive aftermarket for high-quality hose fittings and fluid system components. This 180-degree fitting is sold individually, allowing builders to source exactly what their application requires without excess inventory. Proper AN fitting selection depends on hose size, pressure rating, and connection type—the -10 AN specification and swivel female design confirm compatibility with standard -10 AN hose and AN male port connections across professional and enthusiast builds.
