Pushlock Hose End Black 120 Deg Elbow -16

The Pushlock Hose End Black 120 Deg Elbow -16 from Allstar Performance is a precision-engineered hose fitting designed for high-performance automotive cooling, fuel, and hydraulic systems. Built for enthusiasts and mechanics who demand reliability in modified vehicles, this 120-degree elbow fitting provides critical directional flexibility where standard straight connections won't fit due to engine bay constraints or component placement. Whether you're building a custom cooling loop, upgrading fuel delivery on a turbocharged platform, or routing brake lines through a tight engine compartment, this fitting solves real-world installation challenges that stock configurations can't address.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the Pushlock Hose End accommodates 16 AN (AN-16) hose barbs, featuring a 120-degree bend angle that provides optimal flow dynamics while maintaining structural integrity under pressure. The pushlock design eliminates the need for hose clamps on the barbed end—the hose simply slides over the barb and locks in place, reducing assembly time and eliminating potential leak points associated with traditional worm-gear clamps. The female AN port accepts standard 16 AN JIC fittings, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard fuel lines, coolant adapters, and hydraulic components used in engine swaps, supercharger installations, and custom plumbing applications.

This fitting excels in applications where space constraints demand angled connections—intercooler piping on boosted engines, coolant reroutes on LS swaps, and fuel system modifications on high-displacement builds all benefit from the directional versatility. The 120-degree configuration strikes a balance between tight-radius bends and stress-free hose runs, protecting against kinking while fitting where sharper 90-degree fittings create installation conflicts. Installation is straightforward: cut your hose to length, insert it firmly onto the barb until seated, and the pushlock mechanism prevents withdrawal under normal operating pressure.
