#6 45 Deg Twist-Lok Hose End

The #6 45 Deg Twist-Lok Hose End by Russell is a precision hydraulic fitting engineered for custom cooling systems, fuel lines, and brake applications in high-performance vehicles and engine builds. This 45-degree angled hose end connector is essential when space constraints or existing plumbing layouts demand offset orientation rather than straight configurations. Whether you're upgrading a street rod's cooling system, fabricating a fuel cell installation, or routing brake lines around engine bay obstacles, the Twist-Lok design delivers dependable performance where standard straight fittings simply won't fit.

Russell's Twist-Lok hose ends feature a reusable, field-serviceable design with a secure locking collet that grips hose without requiring crimping tools—a critical advantage for fabricators and mechanics who need reliable fittings that won't slip under pressure or vibration. The 45-degree angle allows optimal routing geometry in tight engine compartments, while the #6 size accommodates standard -6 AN hose, the workhorse of automotive hydraulic systems. The compact 2.75-inch length and lightweight 0.08-pound construction minimize bulk and weight in tight spaces, making this fitting ideal for weight-conscious builds and precision cooling or fuel management upgrades.

Fabricators, engine builders, and motorsports enthusiasts rely on Russell Twist-Lok hose ends for custom cooling loops, fuel injection systems, and brake line installations where off-the-shelf hose routing proves impossible. Compatibility extends across -6 AN hose assemblies common in street performance, racing, and restoration work, and the angled design reduces stress on hose connections where sharp bends would otherwise concentrate wear and risk leakage. Installation is straightforward: slide the hose over the barbed fitting and tighten the collet nut by hand or with a wrench until secure—no special equipment required, making repairs and adjustments quick in the shop or paddock.
