#6 Str. x 1/4 MPT Hose End Black

The #6 Str. x 1/4 MPT Hose End Black from FRAGOLA is a straight hose adapter designed for high-performance fuel systems, oil cooler lines, and power steering applications in custom vehicles and race builds. This fitting bridges the gap between 6 AN hose and 1/4 inch NPT male ports, making it essential for builders who demand precision plumbing in tight engine bays or complex hydraulic layouts. Whether you're upgrading a fuel delivery system, installing an external transmission cooler, or routing lines through a heavily modified powerplant, this adapter provides the reliability and leak-free performance that separates professional builds from amateur work.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, the #6 Str. x 1/4 MPT Hose End features FRAGOLA's 3000 Series design—known throughout the automotive modification community for durability and flow efficiency. The straight configuration eliminates unnecessary bends, reducing turbulence and pressure drop critical in fuel injection and cooling systems where consistency matters. Black anodizing not only provides corrosion resistance against ethanol fuels and brake fluid exposure but also delivers the aesthetics expected in show-quality engine bays. The aluminum construction keeps weight minimal while maintaining structural integrity under both steady-state and pulsing pressure cycles typical of modern EFI systems.

This hose end suits LS engine swaps, fuel system retrofits, and custom cooling installations where NPT threaded ports meet AN hose requirements. Mechanics and fabricators familiar with FRAGOLA's reputation will recognize the 3000 Series as the standard choice for street applications and mild boost scenarios. Installation requires standard AN hose crimping equipment on the #6 side and appropriate thread sealant on the 1/4 NPT male end—compatible with all 6 AN hose and fitting combinations currently in the market. The compact dimensions and lightweight profile (0.07 lbs) make it ideal for engine bay routing where space is limited and every gram counts toward suspension geometry optimization.
