#6 Beadlock Splicer w/Sa fety Switch Port

The #6 Beadlock Splicer with Safety Switch Port is a precision AC refrigerant hose fitting engineered for custom automotive climate control systems, particularly in restomod and high-performance vehicle builds. This straight hose end connector is purpose-built for installers and mechanics who demand reliable, leak-free connections in tight engine compartments where space and safety are critical. Whether retrofitting vintage air systems into classic cars or upgrading factory HVAC lines, this fitting eliminates the guesswork of improper hose terminations and ensures compliance with modern refrigerant handling standards.

Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and steel with natural and zinc oxide finishes, the #6 Beadlock Splicer accommodates 6 AN hose crimp connections on both ends, allowing seamless transitions between matching refrigerant lines without reducing flow or introducing weak points. The integrated safety switch port provides a convenient access point for low-pressure sensors or diagnostic equipment, eliminating the need for secondary ports or T-fittings that compromise system integrity. The straight configuration minimizes turbulence and pressure drop compared to 90-degree or 45-degree alternatives, making it ideal for high-efficiency cooling circuits. At just 0.11 lbs and measuring 2.65 x 1.45 x 5.95 inches, its compact footprint fits even cramped engine bay layouts without requiring custom exhaust or intake rerouting.

This fitting benefits restomod builders, vintage air system installers, and professional HVAC technicians who prioritize durability over cost-cutting alternatives. It pairs seamlessly with Vintage Air's complete retrofit kits and third-party 6 AN hose assemblies, making it the go-to choice for custom climate control on street rods, muscle cars, and daily-driven classics. Installation requires standard hose crimping tools and basic refrigerant line experience; proper evacuation and charging of the system after connection ensures optimal cooling performance and long system life.
