45 Degree High Flow Hose End Fitting -12AN

The 45 Degree High Flow Hose End Fitting -12AN from Vibrant Performance is engineered for serious automotive enthusiasts who demand reliability in high-performance fuel, coolant, and boost systems. This fitting addresses a critical need in modified vehicles where stock rubber hose routing simply won't accommodate aggressive engine bay layouts or tighter component spacing. Whether you're building a turbocharged street car, a competition-prepped engine, or upgrading fuel delivery on a restomod, this adapter provides the directional flexibility that custom applications require without sacrificing flow capacity.

Constructed with precision engineering, the 45-degree angle design eliminates the need for multiple bends or restrictive hose paths that can reduce system efficiency and create pressure drop across fuel rails or coolant loops. The -12AN size designation indicates a standard 12 AN thread size compatible with professional-grade hose assemblies and braided stainless steel lines commonly found in motorsport and high-performance applications. Vibrant Performance's high-flow design minimizes turbulence at the connection point, critical for maintaining optimal pressure stability in pressurized systems and ensuring consistent fuel atomization or coolant circulation during sustained performance driving.

Mechanics and fabricators working on engine swaps, turbo conversions, or fuel system upgrades will appreciate this fitting's compact footprint—weighing just 0.22 lbs—which allows it to tuck into tight engine compartments without adding bulk. Installation integrates seamlessly with existing -12AN braided hose assemblies and -12AN port adapters found on fuel pumps, regulators, thermostats, and boost controllers. This fitting is indispensable for anyone transitioning from stock rubber hose to braided setups or reconfiguring fluid lines to clear new intake manifolds, intercoolers, or supercharger installations.
