Straight Hose End Fittin g; Hose Size: -16 AN

The Vibrant Performance straight hose end fitting, size -16 AN, is a precision component engineered for high-performance fuel, oil, coolant, and hydraulic systems in modified vehicles. This fitting connects AN hose to AN female flare ports, making it essential for anyone building custom fuel injection systems, turbo setups, or performance cooling circuits. Whether you're upgrading a street car, race vehicle, or off-road rig, a properly sized hose fitting prevents leaks, maintains system integrity, and ensures reliable power delivery under boost or sustained demand.

This straight hose end fitting features aircraft-grade aluminum construction with black anodized finish for corrosion resistance and professional aesthetics in engine bays. The -16 AN designation indicates a hose inner diameter of 1 inch, accommodating high flow rates required by turbocharged engines and fuel systems operating at elevated pressures. The female flare connection on the fitting ensures a leak-free seal when properly torqued to the mating port, while the straight configuration minimizes turbulence and pressure drop compared to 90-degree alternatives. Vibrant Performance's precision manufacturing tolerances guarantee consistent thread geometry and sealing surfaces across every unit.

Mechanics, fabricators, and weekend warriors building custom fuel rails, intercooler plumbing, or transmission cooler lines rely on this fitting for its durability and straightforward installation. The compact profile (3.1 x 1.7 x 5.85 inches) fits tight engine bay layouts without requiring rerouting of hoses. Weighing just 0.29 pounds, the aluminum construction keeps system weight minimal while withstanding pressure cycles in modern EFI and forced-induction applications. Compatible with all standard -16 AN hose assemblies and female flare ports, this fitting serves as a cost-effective solution for system modifications, repairs, or complete harness rebuilds.
