Hose Fitting #6 180 Deg Push Lock Black

The FRAGOLA Hose Fitting #6 180 Degree Push Lock Black (Model 218006-BL) is a precision-engineered hydraulic and fluid line adapter designed for high-performance automotive, marine, and industrial applications requiring reliable, secure connections. This 180-degree hose fitting features the proven Push-Lite design, which delivers a sealed connection without the need for clamps or additional fasteners, reducing installation time and eliminating potential leak points common in threaded assemblies.

Constructed from aluminum and black anodized for corrosion resistance, this fitting accommodates 6 AN hose barb to 6 AN female connections, making it compatible with standard -6 high-pressure hose systems. The 180-degree configuration allows directional changes in tight engine bays, transmission cooling circuits, and fuel delivery systems where space constraints demand compact routing. The anodized aluminum construction provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio while the black finish resists oxidation in both ambient and moisture-laden environments such as marine engine compartments or off-road vehicles exposed to salt air and washdown conditions.

This fitting serves engine builders, restoration specialists, race teams, and maintenance technicians working on custom fuel systems, coolant loops, and brake fluid circuits where AN-standard connections are the industry norm. The push-lock mechanism eliminates the need for swaging or crimping, allowing field installation and repositioning without specialized tools. Weighing just 0.05 lbs, it adds minimal mass while maintaining the structural integrity required for high-pressure applications up to typical 6 AN system ratings.

FRAGOLA's 8000 Series Push-Lite fittings are recognized across performance automotive circles for their leak-free reliability and ease of assembly, making this 180-degree adapter a standard choice for builders prioritizing installation efficiency and long-term connection integrity in demanding fluid systems.
