6an 45-Deg Steel Hose End - Black Chromate

The 6AN 45-Deg Steel Hose End in Black Chromate from EARLS is a precision fluid transfer fitting designed for high-performance fuel systems, coolant lines, and hydraulic applications in modified vehicles. This 45-degree angled hose end serves as the critical connection point between braided stainless or reinforced rubber hose and female AN ports, making it essential for engine bay layouts where direct routing isn't practical or space is limited. Whether you're building a custom fuel rail, upgrading to an external fuel pump system, or running braided brake lines on a track car, this fitting delivers reliable containment under pressure and vibration.

Constructed from steel with black zinc chromate plating, this hose end resists corrosion in underhood environments while maintaining structural integrity under sustained hydraulic and fuel-system pressures. The 45-degree configuration allows hose runs to navigate tight engine compartments without kinking, crushing, or creating stress points that compromise flow or durability. The 6 AN size (3/8-inch hose ID) is industry standard for moderate to high-flow fuel delivery and cooling circuits, and the female 6 AN port connection ensures compatibility with standard EARLS adapters, fittings, and manifold blocks. Steel construction provides superior strength over aluminum alternatives, critical when routing fuel near heat sources or in applications subject to engine vibration and thermal cycling.

This fitting benefits fuel system builders, engine tuners, and fabricators who demand precision in coolant, fuel, and hydraulic routing. It's ideal for EFI conversions on vintage vehicles, nitrous oxide systems, supercharger intercooler plumbing, and any application requiring a leak-free, vibration-resistant connection in a confined space. The compact 1.3 x 1.2 x 3.6 inch footprint and 0.18 lb weight make integration into tight engine bays straightforward. Verify your hose type and port configuration before ordering; this end is designed for hose barb connection and female AN threaded ports, and proper SAE J518 hose sizing is essential for safety and performance.
