#6 45-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting

The #6 45-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting from FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered hydraulic adapter designed for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant systems in custom automotive builds and engine modifications. This 45-degree fitting serves as the critical junction between your hose lines and female ports, enabling secure, leak-free connections in tight engine bays where straight fittings won't fit. Whether you're upgrading a fuel system for a turbocharged engine, routing brake lines through a custom frame, or plumbing a dry-sump oiling setup, the correct angle and size fitting prevents kinks, reduces turbulence, and ensures system integrity under pressure and vibration.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this #6 AN (AN6, -6) crimp fitting accepts a 6 AN hose and mates to a 6 AN female port with a 45-degree angle orientation. The sport-crimp design allows you to assemble and disassemble the hose connection repeatedly without damaging the fitting or hose, making it ideal for tuning, maintenance, and race-day modifications. The anodized aluminum body resists corrosion from fuel, oil, and road salt while remaining significantly lighter than steel alternatives—a critical advantage in weight-conscious performance builds. Compact dimensions (1.4 x 1.2 x 4.05 inches) and minimal weight (0.07 lbs) ensure this fitting integrates seamlessly into congested engine compartments without adding unnecessary mass.

Mechanics and fabricators routinely specify FRAGOLA fittings for custom fuel injection systems, nitrous oxide lines, turbo coolant feeds, and transmission cooler plumbing in street rods, drag cars, and daily-driven sports cars. The 45-degree angle accommodates space constraints common in modern engine bays where firewall proximity or header placement demands non-straight routing. Installation requires a hose crimper and proper AN hose sizing; ensure your hose barb diameter matches the #6 specification and that all connections are torqued or locked per your system's pressure rating. Compatible with -6 AN hose (approximately 3/8-inch inner diameter) and standard -6 female AN ports found on fuel rails, manifolds, coolers, and distribution blocks.
