#6 Str Female Beadlock O-Ring

The #6 Str Female Beadlock O-Ring from VINTAGE AIR is a straight-fitting hose end connector engineered for air conditioning refrigerant systems in automotive applications. This adapter bridges 6 AN (JIC -6) hose crimps to 6 AN female O-ring ports, making it essential for custom AC installations, engine bay retrofits, and climate control modifications where factory lines don't match aftermarket component ports. Built for reliability under high-pressure refrigerant loads, this fitting ensures leak-free operation in demanding underhood environments.

Constructed from aluminum and steel with natural and zinc oxide finishes, the #6 Str Female Beadlock O-Ring delivers superior corrosion resistance and durability against temperature cycling and moisture exposure typical in modern engine bays. The beadlock design secures the o-ring firmly in the female port, preventing extrusion under pressure and eliminating the risk of refrigerant leaks during compressor cycling. The straight configuration minimizes pressure drop and turbulence, critical for maintaining efficient heat transfer in AC circuits while the precision 6 AN sizing ensures compatibility with industry-standard hose crimps and aftermarket manifolds used in LS swaps, vintage air conversions, and high-performance climate systems.

This fitting is indispensable for builders retrofitting vintage air systems into classic cars, mechanics upgrading OEM AC lines during engine replacements, and fabricators assembling custom refrigerant loops for modified or turbocharged platforms. The compact 1.8 x 1.4 x 6.15 inch footprint fits tight engine compartments while the lightweight 0.1 lb design keeps installation hassle-free. Whether you're integrating modern climate control into a restomod, replacing corroded factory fittings, or plumbing a complete aftermarket AC system, the #6 Str Female Beadlock O-Ring provides the pressure-rated reliability professional technicians and dedicated enthusiasts trust for airtight, leak-resistant connections.
