180 Degree Hose End Fitt ing; Hose Size: -12 AN

The 180 Degree Hose End Fitting with -12 AN thread is a precision hydraulic and fuel system component engineered for applications requiring a sharp directional change in hose routing. This swivel-style fitting delivers reliable performance in high-pressure fluid transfer systems, including high-performance automotive fuel systems, hydraulic brake lines, and custom fluid delivery setups where space constraints or component placement demands a tight-radius turn. The aluminum construction with black anodized finish resists corrosion while maintaining compatibility with standard -12 AN hose and female connections.

The 180-degree bend design allows hose termination to flow back parallel to the incoming line, maximizing engine bay or system layout efficiency. The swivel joint accommodates minor angular misalignment and reduces stress on hose connections during thermal cycling and vibration. Black anodized aluminum resists oxidation in demanding environments while remaining lightweight compared to steel alternatives. The -12 AN female connection accepts standard -12 AN hose assemblies, ensuring drop-in compatibility with existing fuel and hydraulic system infrastructure.

This fitting serves builders and technicians working with custom fuel injection systems, nitrous oxide delivery lines, hydraulic brake upgrades, and transmission cooler plumbing where conventional 90-degree fittings create clearance conflicts. The tight 180-degree geometry proves especially valuable in confined engine compartments where routing flexibility is critical. Each unit is sold individually, allowing builders to source exact quantities for multi-line systems.

The -12 AN specification indicates a hose designation commonly used in performance automotive and industrial hydraulic applications. Proper installation requires compatible -12 AN hose with internal diameter matched to -12 AN fittings, and all connections should be inspected for secure seating before pressurizing the system.
