Male -6AN x 9/16-18 45 Degree Hose End Fitting

The Male -6AN x 9/16-18 45 Degree Hose End Fitting from Vibrant Performance is an essential component for any custom fuel system, coolant line, or brake fluid circuit requiring a compact, angled connection. Designed for builders and mechanics who demand reliability under pressure, this -6AN fitting serves as a critical interface between braided hose and stationary ports on fuel rails, thermostats, carburetors, and aftermarket accessories. Whether you're routing lines through a tight engine bay or managing flow in a modified cooling system, this 45-degree fitting eliminates awkward hose runs and reduces stress points that can lead to leaks or catastrophic failure.

This fitting features a male swaged connection (the -6AN designation indicates a nominal 3/8-inch inside diameter hose) mated to a 9/16-18 port thread, a standard size found on many carburetors, fuel pressure regulators, and OEM component ports. The 45-degree angle design allows hose routing without sharp bends that would reduce flow or compromise line integrity, while the angled entry minimizes turbulence and pressure drop. Vibrant Performance's precision machining ensures consistent thread engagement and leak-free sealing when paired with proper -6AN braided hose and compatible female ports, making installation straightforward for builders with basic hose-end crimping or swage experience.

Carb builders, fuel system designers, and performance cooling upgrades rely on this fitting to navigate constrained engine compartments without sacrificing safety or flow efficiency. It pairs seamlessly with -6AN braided stainless or rubber hose and works with aluminum or cast iron ports commonly found on vintage and modern high-performance engines. Installation requires a -6AN crimp tool or professional hose assembly shop; once secured, the fitting withstands daily driving pressures and temperature cycling. For anyone upgrading fuel delivery, coolant routing, or brake systems on modified vehicles, this Vibrant Performance male fitting delivers OEM-quality durability in a compact, angled footprint.
