Straight Push-On Hose En d Fitting; Size: -12AN

The Vibrant Performance Straight Push-On Hose End Fitting in -12AN size is engineered for high-performance hydraulic and fuel system applications where reliable, leak-free connections are non-negotiable. Designed for automotive enthusiasts, race teams, and professional technicians, this fitting bridges hose barbs to female threaded ports in a direct, no-elbow configuration. The straight design maximizes space efficiency in tight engine bays and custom fabrication projects where traditional 90-degree fittings cannot fit.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance in show-quality builds. The push-on barb configuration accepts 12AN hose smoothly, with the internal bore designed to minimize turbulence and pressure loss during high-flow operations. Anodizing provides a hard, protective surface that withstands harsh underhood conditions, vibration, and temperature cycling without degradation. The -12AN specification indicates compatibility with standard 12AN braided hose, a industry-wide sizing convention that ensures proper fit and flow characteristics for fuel delivery, coolant bypass, and power steering circuits.

Technicians building custom intake manifolds, radiator upgrades, and fuel system retrofits rely on Vibrant Performance fittings to eliminate aluminum hardline restrictions and simplify assembly. The straight orientation works best in applications where a direct hose run aligns with both the source and destination ports—common in LS engine conversions, supercharger installations, and aftermarket cooling systems. Installation requires only pushing the 12AN hose over the barb fitting until fully seated; hose clamps provide additional security against high-pressure vibration. This fitting suits both street and racing environments, delivering the durability and leak-free performance expected from a Vibrant brand component.
