#6 180 Degree Hose End Swivel

The #6 180 Degree Hose End Swivel by AEROQUIP is a precision fitting engineered for high-performance fuel, coolant, and hydraulic systems in custom and modified vehicles. This AN6 adapter connects 6 AN hose to a 6 AN female swivel port, allowing flexible hose routing in tight engine bays where rigid tubing won't fit. Mechanics and enthusiasts rely on these fittings when upgrading fuel systems, installing turbo kits, or relocating components—situations where directional flexibility and leak-free sealing are non-negotiable.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in blue or red anodizing, this 180-degree swivel fitting uses JIC (Joint Industry Council) threads to ensure positive, repeatable sealing under pressure. The 180-degree design permits hose to exit in the opposite direction from the inlet port, eliminating routing conflicts and reducing stress on hose clamps and connections. AEROQUIP's proven thread geometry and swivel construction accommodate vibration and thermal cycling without loosening, critical for turbocharged and supercharged applications where fuel system stability directly impacts reliability and safety.

This fitting suits any builder or shop upgrading to stainless braided hose or remote-mounted fuel filters, surge tanks, or intercooler cooling loops. Its compact footprint (2.35 × 1.1 × 3.75 inches) and minimal weight (0.09 lbs) make it ideal for weight-conscious race builds. Ensure hose ends are clean and dry before assembly, use thread sealant on male JIC threads, and torque moderately to avoid stripping the aluminum body—standard practices that guarantee years of trouble-free operation in street, strip, or track environments.
