#6 45 Deg Female Beadloc O-Ring Fitting

The #6 45 Deg Female Beadloc O-Ring Fitting from Vintage Air is a precision hose end adapter engineered for high-reliability air conditioning refrigerant systems in automotive applications. This component bridges 6 AN hose crimps to 6 AN female O-ring connections at a 45-degree angle, making it essential for custom AC installations, engine bay modifications, and retrofit projects where space and routing constraints demand angled connections. Whether you're building a restomod cooling system or upgrading factory AC lines on a performance vehicle, this fitting ensures leak-free operation under pressure cycles.

Constructed from aluminum and steel with a natural finish and zinc-oxide coating for corrosion resistance, this 45-degree adapter protects against oxidation in engine compartments while maintaining structural integrity under refrigerant pressure and thermal cycling. The beadlock O-ring design creates a positive seal without thread engagement, allowing quick disconnects and simplifying hose routing without sacrificing reliability. At just 0.1 lbs with compact dimensions, the fitting integrates seamlessly into tight spaces common in custom fabrication and aftermarket AC system builds.

Mechanics and fabricators working on vintage restorations, street rods, and modern engine swaps rely on Vintage Air fittings to maintain factory-quality cooling performance with modern hose standards. The 6 AN sizing is the industry standard for mid-displacement AC systems, and this female O-ring configuration accepts industry-standard male connectors, ensuring broad compatibility across refrigerant lines. Installation requires crimped 6 AN hoses and a mating 6 AN male O-ring connector; the 45-degree offset allows optimized hose paths that reduce pressure-point stress on connections. Verify O-ring compatibility with your system's refrigerant type before assembly.
