45 Degree Hose Fitting for PTFE Lined Hose

The 45 Degree Hose Fitting for PTFE Lined Hose from Vibrant Performance is a precision-engineered adapter designed for high-performance fuel, coolant, and fluid systems where space constraints and angled routing are critical. Built for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand reliable connections in modified engine bays, this fitting bridges 16 AN PTFE hose to 16 AN female ports with a 45-degree angle, enabling cleaner plumbing layouts and reduced stress on hose runs. Whether you're custom-fabricating a fuel system, upgrading cooling passages, or optimizing hydraulic lines on a race-prepped vehicle, this adapter provides the geometric flexibility and durability required for demanding applications.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the 45 Degree Hose Fitting for PTFE Lined Hose resists corrosion while maintaining a low profile in engine compartments. The black anodized surface not only enhances aesthetic appeal in visible installations but also provides wear resistance and protection against oxidation in high-temperature and moisture-prone environments. The 16 AN designation ensures compatibility with industry-standard aviation-grade hose and fittings, delivering consistent pressure ratings and leak-free connections even under boost, high flow, or sustained thermal cycling. Vibrant Performance's precision manufacturing ensures tight tolerances, eliminating the drift and looseness that can develop in inferior aftermarket adapters over thousands of miles or extended track sessions.

This fitting suits fuel system upgrades, turbo cooling circuit modifications, custom radiator bypass routing, and any plumbing scenario where a 45-degree directional change simplifies hose path geometry and reduces fitting count. Mechanics installing braided stainless steel or reinforced rubber hose with PTFE liners will appreciate the secure end connection that eliminates hose separation under pressure. Compatible with all 16 AN female ports and 16 AN PTFE hose assemblies, the compact 3.5 x 1.7 x 5.5 inch envelope fits tight engine bays, and the lightweight 0.31 lbs design adds negligible mass to your build. Installation is straightforward—hand-tighten initially, then use a wrench to seat the fitting firmly against the hose barb, ensuring a dry, vibration-resistant installation.
