6AN Push Lock Hose End Str Black

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 6AN Push Lock Hose End Straight Black is a precision aluminum hose fitting engineered for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant line applications. This 6 AN straight hose end connector features a swivel design that accommodates PTFE hose while connecting to 6 AN female ports, allowing for angular installation flexibility without twisting the hose itself. The black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and provides a clean, professional appearance in engine bays and custom fluid system builds.

This fitting's straight configuration and swivel interface make it an ideal choice for tight spaces where hose entry angles would otherwise cause stress on the fitting or hose assembly. The push-lock design simplifies installation and removal, while the aluminum construction keeps weight minimal—critical in racing and performance builds where every ounce matters. The 6 AN sizing (equivalent to 3/8-inch nominal) handles flow rates suitable for carbureted and fuel-injected applications without excessive pressure drop. Anodized finishes provide UV and oxidation resistance, maintaining integrity in underhood environments subject to heat cycling and moisture exposure.

Buyers assembling custom cooling systems, fuel delivery upgrades, or oil circulation modifications rely on REDHORSE fittings for their reputation in the performance automotive and marine segments. This hose end is particularly valued in engine swaps, supercharger installations, and radial engine cooling retrofits where standard rubber hose routing isn't feasible. The swivel mechanism reduces installation labor and prevents cross-threading on female ports, a practical benefit during system assembly and future service. Each fitting is sold individually, allowing builders to purchase exactly the quantity needed for their specific plumbing layout.
