Hose End #16 Straight

The Hose End #16 Straight from A-1 PRODUCTS is a precision hydraulic fitting designed for high-performance automotive cooling systems, fuel lines, and custom plumbing applications where reliability under pressure is non-negotiable. Built for enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand leak-free connections in engine bays running modified cooling loops, fuel injection systems, and turbo intercooler setups, this 16 AN straight hose end fitting serves as the critical junction between braided hose and female inlet ports. Whether you're fabricating a custom cooling system for a supercharged engine or upgrading your fuel delivery infrastructure, this fitting ensures consistent flow and zero slippage during demanding operating conditions.

Engineered from aluminum with blue and red anodized finish, the Hose End #16 Straight accommodates 16 AN hose on one end and threads into a 16 AN female port on the other, providing a straight-flow path ideal for in-line installations where space and pressure retention are critical. The anodized aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and lightweight durability while maintaining full structural integrity under sustained PSI loads typical of fuel systems and high-flow cooling applications. The straight geometry eliminates unnecessary directional complexity and reduces turbulence, making it an essential component in systems where flow efficiency directly impacts cooling performance or fuel atomization consistency.

This fitting is indispensable for custom fuel line fabrication, intercooler plumbing, coolant system modifications, and any application requiring a reliable 16 AN male-to-female connection. Installation requires basic hose crimping knowledge and proper AN wrench sizing; ensure your 16 AN braided hose is cut cleanly and seated fully in the crimper before assembly. Compatible with any system running -16 AN hose diameter specifications, this individual fitting allows modular system design without purchasing complete pre-assembled harnesses, giving you control over layout, length, and routing in tight engine compartments.
