6AN Hose End Socket Red

The 6AN Hose End Socket Red from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is an essential component for anyone building or modifying a high-performance fuel system, coolant line, or hydraulic brake setup. Whether you're upgrading a street machine, race car, or custom hot rod, this hose end socket provides a secure, leak-free connection point that withstands sustained pressure and vibration. Designed for use with -6 AN (5/8-inch) hose assemblies, it's the foundation of professional-grade fluid management in motorsports and performance automotive applications.

This 6AN socket features precision-engineered construction that meets SAE J518 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard AN hose and fitting ecosystems across the industry. The red anodized aluminum finish not only delivers a clean, race-ready aesthetic but also provides corrosion resistance and easy identification under the hood. The socket's internal geometry is designed to grip the hose securely while allowing smooth insertion and removal, critical for both initial installation and future maintenance or system rebuilds. Weighing just 0.083 lbs, it adds minimal mass to your plumbing while maintaining structural integrity under high-pressure conditions typical of fuel injection systems, turbo charge cooling lines, and motorsport hydraulics.

Mechanics and fabricators working on EFI fuel systems, forced-induction cooling loops, and high-flow brake setups will find this socket indispensable for custom plumbing runs. It pairs seamlessly with REDHORSE PERFORMANCE hose and fittings, allowing you to route -6 AN lines from your fuel pump or cooler to your engine bay components with confidence. Installation is straightforward—the socket slides over prepared AN hose and secures via a crimp fitting, creating a permanent, pressure-rated connection. For anyone serious about quality fuel delivery, engine coolant management, or brake system upgrades, stocking multiple 6AN Hose End Sockets ensures you're never short of essential plumbing hardware for your next build or repair.
