The Vibrant Performance -6AN Female to -6AN Male 45 Degree Swivel Adapter provides angular flexibility for routing fuel, oil, and coolant lines in performance automotive applications. This fitting connects standard -6AN hose ends while redirecting flow at a 45-degree angle, making it practical for tight engine bay installations where straight fittings would create kinks or clearance problems. We carry this adapter for builders working on street performance cars, dedicated track vehicles, and custom fabrication projects requiring precise fluid system layouts. The swivel design allows rotational adjustment during installation, simplifying alignment before final tightening.
Vibrant Performance manufactures this adapter from lightweight aluminum, keeping weight down while maintaining durability under typical fuel and oil system pressures. The 45-degree angle configuration fits between straight and 90-degree options, offering a middle-ground solution when neither extreme provides adequate clearance. Internal swivel action occurs at the female end, enabling rotation independent of the male thread engagement. This means the fitting can be oriented correctly without loosening or over-tightening connections. At approximately 4 inches in length, this adapter adds minimal bulk to plumbing runs. The anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and matches other Vibrant Performance AN fittings for a consistent appearance across your fluid system components.
Install this adapter wherever a 45-degree direction change improves hose routing or prevents interference with headers, chassis tubes, or body panels. Common applications include fuel rail feeds, oil cooler lines, and catch can plumbing on modified engines. The -6AN size handles flow requirements for most naturally aspirated and moderately boosted setups. Pair this fitting with compatible AN hose assemblies and related adapter fittings from our inventory to complete your build with properly matched components.
A swivel adapter allows the female end to rotate independently of the male threads. This lets you orient the fitting correctly after threading it in, without needing to back off the connection. Non-swivel fittings lock in place as threaded, limiting positioning options.
Yes, this -6AN adapter works with any hose assembly terminated with standard -6AN fittings, including braided stainless steel lines, nylon braided hose, and push-lock configurations. The AN specification ensures universal compatibility across manufacturers.
Use a 45-degree fitting when a 90-degree bend would be too sharp for available space or would create excessive flow restriction. The gentler angle also reduces stress on hose ends and maintains better flow characteristics in higher-volume applications.
No. AN fittings seal on the 37-degree flare surface, not the threads. Applying thread sealant to AN connections can actually prevent proper seating and cause leaks. Simply hand-tighten, then snug with a wrench until the fitting seats firmly.
