#6 45 HS-79 Hose End

The #6 45 HS-79 hose end fitting is a precision-engineered adapter designed for high-performance hydraulic and fuel system applications in automotive builds and modifications. Whether you're constructing a custom cooling loop, upgrading fuel delivery on a performance engine, or fabricating a brake system for a track car, this 45-degree hose end delivers reliable crimped connections at critical junctures. Built for serious enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand leak-free, vibration-resistant fittings, this adapter serves as a cornerstone component in any system where hose routing efficiency and compact fitment matter.

Constructed from black anodized aluminum, the #6 45 HS-79 hose end features a 45-degree elbow geometry that reduces sharp bends and stress points in tight engine bays or chassis configurations. The 6 AN (equivalent to 3/8-inch nominal) female connection point accepts industry-standard hose with a crimped end, ensuring a permanent, high-integrity seal without reliance on thread sealant tape or fluid-prone compression fittings. Anodized finish provides corrosion resistance in underhood environments and extends service life under thermal cycling and exposure to aggressive fluids. The crimp design eliminates micro-movements and weeping that can plague reusable fittings during sustained pressure cycles.

This hose end fitting is ideal for custom fuel systems, supercharger intercooler lines, transmission coolers, and hydraulic clutch or brake applications where space is constrained and a 45-degree redirect is required. The compact 2.8 x 0.85 x 3.1-inch footprint makes it accessible in congested areas where straight fittings won't fit. Installation requires proper hose preparation and a quality crimper tool—once installed, the connection is permanent and rated for full system pressure. Compatible with all industry-standard 6 AN hose assemblies, this fitting pairs seamlessly with fuel rails, manifold ports, and component inlet/outlet provisions calling for AN-size adapters.
