EVIL ENERGY 12AN 90 Degree Push Lock Hose Fitting End Black

EVIL ENERGY's 12AN 90-degree push-lock hose fitting end is a black anodized, 2-piece aluminum adapter that converts 12AN threaded fuel lines to a 3/4" barb with a compact elbow for tight routing.

This compact 90° push-lock fitting is engineered to simplify fuel-line routing where space is limited. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in durable black, it connects a 12AN threaded line (1-1/16-12 UNF thread) to rubber hose via a 3/4" barb, offering a secure low-profile junction for automotive and performance applications.

How durable is this 12AN 90° push-lock fitting?

Durability comes from its 6061-T6 aluminum construction and corrosion-resistant anodized surface. It withstands routine automotive conditions and a wide temperature range, making it suitable for many under-hood or chassis installations.

• Material: 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for strength and light weight
• Finish: black anodized surface for abrasion and corrosion resistance
• Temperature tolerance: -40°F to 248°F for varied environments
• Pressure rating: up to 1,500 PSI for reliable performance

Will this fitting work with my fuel hose and thread sizes?

The fitting converts a 12AN threaded end (1-1/16-12 UNF) to a 3/4" barb designed specifically for rubber fuel lines. It is not intended for hard lines or push-lock hose types; use with rubber hose and an appropriate clamp for the best seal.

• Thread: 12AN with 1-1/16-12 UNF pitch
• Barb size: 3/4" barb to accept rubber fuel hose
• Compatibility tip: pair with high-quality rubber fuel hose and stainless clamps

How easy is installation and what hardware is recommended?

Installation is straightforward: slide the rubber hose over the barb and secure it with a clamp for leak-free service. Because it’s a push-lock style with a tight-fitting barb, stainless-steel worm clamps or crimp-style clamps are recommended to ensure a reliable connection.

• Installation: push hose onto barb, align elbow to desired routing
• Clamp recommendation: stainless worm or crimp clamps to enhance sealing
• Tools needed: basic hand tools for clamp tightening; no specialty tools required

When should I choose a 90-degree 12AN push-lock elbow over a straight fitting?

Choose the 90° elbow when routing space is limited or when you want to avoid tight hose bends that can restrict flow or cause premature wear. The elbow reduces stress on the hose and helps keep installation tidy and protected from heat sources or moving components.

• Space-saving: reduces length and avoids sharp hose bends
• Protection: keeps hoses away from hot or moving parts
• Neat routing: provides a cleaner, more professional installation

Who this is for: This EVIL ENERGY 12AN 90° push-lock hose fitting is aimed at mechanics, motorsport enthusiasts, custom-fabrication shops, and anyone assembling or repairing rubber fuel lines who needs a dependable elbow adapter. If you require a compact, high-pressure-capable connection from a 12AN threaded line to a 3/4" rubber hose and value durable aluminum construction with a low-profile 90° turn, this 2-piece black fitting is a practical choice.
