EVIL ENERGY 12AN Hose End Fitting Straight Swivel for CPE

EVIL ENERGY 12AN straight swivel hose end fittings are durable 6061-T6 aluminum connectors designed to join 12AN CPE braided hoses with a 360° swivel for fast, leak-resistant assembly.

These straight 12AN hose ends from EVIL ENERGY give you a dependable connection point for stainless or nylon braided CPE hoses. Machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, each fitting seals with a 37° AN seat and threads into a 1 1/16-12 UNF port. The swivel design reduces hose twist during installation and permits reuse, while the specified pressure and temperature ratings help you match the fitting to your system requirements.

How do these fittings attach to braided CPE hoses?

Installation is straightforward: the hose tail is designed to mate with stainless or nylon braided CPE hoses, and the AN seat forms the pressure seal when tightened into the mating port. The 360° swivel allows the hose to rotate independently so you can orient the hose without damaging the braid.

• Thread size: 1 1/16-12 UNF for the port connection.
• Sealing: 37° AN bevel ensures reliable metal-to-metal seal.
• Swivel action: 360° rotation reduces hose twisting during assembly.
• Compatibility: Suitable only for stainless steel and nylon braided CPE hoses.

What are the strength and environmental limits of the 12AN fitting?

These fittings are built from 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion-resistant performance when anodized or coated. The product is rated for typical automotive and industrial fluid systems, within the listed pressure and temperature boundaries.

• Material: 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for a strong, lightweight body.
• Maximum working pressure: 1,500 PSI under normal conditions.
• Operating temperature range: -40°F to 248°F (-40°C to 120°C).
• Finish: black coating for added surface protection and aesthetics.

Can these fittings be reused and what maintenance is needed?

The swivel-style hose ends are designed for multiple assembly cycles; you can disassemble, inspect, and reassemble them when required. Regular inspection of the AN seat and the hose ferrule is recommended to maintain a leak-free joint.

• Reusability: Suitable for multiple installs if no visible damage exists.
• Inspection points: Check 37° sealing surface and braid end for wear.
• Torque: Tighten per recommended AN torque guidelines to avoid deformation.
• Cleaning: Remove debris from threads and seat before reassembly.

Which systems and projects are these fittings best for?

These 12AN straight swivel fittings are a common choice for performance automotive plumbing, racecars, industrial fluid lines, and custom hydraulic setups that require braided hose connections and a compact straight orientation. Their pressure and temperature ratings make them adaptable to fuel, oil, coolant, and many hydraulic applications.

• Typical uses: fuel lines, oil return lines, coolant plumbing, and low-to-medium pressure hydraulic circuits.
• Form factor: Straight orientation for tight runs or inline routing.
• Pack size: Comes as a 2-piece set to equip paired hoses or a dual-line installation.
• Compatibility note: Works only with stainless or nylon braided CPE hoses.

Who is this for: EVIL ENERGY's 12AN straight swivel hose end fittings suit mechanics, fabricators, and DIY builders who need a reliable, reusable 12AN connection for braided CPE hoses. Choose these fittings when you want a strong yet lightweight aluminum connector with a 360° swivel to simplify assembly and reduce hose stress in automotive or light industrial fluid systems.
