6AN Push Lock Hose End Str Blue

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 6AN Push Lock Hose End Straight in Blue is a precision aluminum fitting engineered for high-pressure fuel, oil, and coolant systems in performance vehicles, motorsports applications, and custom engine builds. This 6 AN straight hose end connects PTFE braided hose to female 6 AN ports with a swivel design that accommodates installation angles while maintaining a leak-free, vibration-resistant seal under demanding conditions.

The straight configuration (as opposed to 45° or 90° elbows) is ideal for in-line plumbing where space permits direct hose runs. The swivel mechanism allows the fitting body to remain stationary while the hose end rotates, reducing stress on the hose and fitting interface during installation and vibration cycles—a critical feature in turbocharged engines or vehicles subject to significant vibration. Aluminum construction with blue anodizing delivers corrosion resistance, reduced weight compared to steel alternatives, and visual identification within color-coded fuel system layouts. The 2000 Series designation indicates REDHORSE's standard-duty line, suitable for street performance and mild racing applications operating within standard AN hose pressure ratings.

This fitting is specified for builders and technicians assembling custom fuel rails, oil cooler circuits, and coolant bypass systems on carbureted and fuel-injected engines. The push-lock design ensures repeatable assembly without specialized crimp tooling, making it accessible for DIY builds and professional shops alike. Single-unit sale allows for individual replacement or selective system upgrades without purchasing complete kits.

For motorsports plumbing, AN fittings are the industry standard due to their pressure rating standardization, compact footprint, and consistent seal integrity. The 6 AN size handles moderate flow rates typical of auxiliary fuel circuits, turbo feed/return lines, and secondary cooling systems. Compatibility with standard PTFE hose (DOT-approved for fuel and coolant) ensures proper hose selection and certification compliance.
