Reusable Hose End Black 180 Deg Elbow -16

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE Reusable Hose End Black 180 Degree Elbow -16 is a precision aluminum fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid transfer systems. With its 180-degree configuration, this hose end adapter connects -16 AN (JIC) hose to a -16 AN female swivel port, making it ideal for tight-space routing where straight fittings won't fit. The black anodized finish resists corrosion while providing a professional appearance in engine bays, transmission coolers, fuel systems, and custom plumbing applications.

The -16 AN sizing indicates a nominal hose bore diameter of 1 inch, suitable for substantial flow rates in performance and racing applications. The 180-degree elbow orientation allows hose routing around obstacles—critical in confined engine compartments where space constraints would otherwise require custom bend hoses or multiple fittings. The reusable design means you can disconnect and reconnect this fitting multiple times without sacrificing seal integrity, provided the hose barb and swivel cavity remain undamaged. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal while delivering the strength necessary for automotive cooling, fuel injection, and hydraulic brake systems operating at elevated pressures.

This fitting serves fabricators, engine builders, and enthusiasts assembling custom cooling loops, fuel systems, and transmission coolers. It's equally useful for ATV winch hydraulic lines, off-road recovery winches, and marine applications where corrosion resistance and directional flexibility matter. Whether you're plumbing a race engine, upgrading a truck's cooling system, or configuring a custom hydraulic circuit, the 180-degree elbow eliminates the need for welded steel elbows or complicated hose routing paths. The black anodized finish stands up to engine heat, fluid exposure, and salt-air environments better than bare aluminum.

ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is recognized in the racing and performance automotive sector for precision fittings and fasteners. AN (Army-Navy) JIC hose standards ensure compatibility across aftermarket cooling, fuel, and hydraulic components. Always verify hose barb size, swivel port thread pitch, and pressure rating match your system requirements before installation.
