EVIL ENERGY 12AN Straight Push Lock Hose Fitting End Black

EVIL ENERGY's 12AN straight push-lock hose fitting end is a durable aluminum adapter that converts a 12AN threaded connection to a 3/4" barb for rubber fuel lines, sold as a pack of two in black.

This pair of straight fittings is designed for automotive and performance fuel systems where a reliable, low-profile adapter is needed between a 12AN threaded line and a 3/4" barb hose. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, these fittings balance strength and light weight while resisting corrosion. The 12AN thread measures 1-1/16-12 UNF and the barb side accepts standard rubber fuel hoses; clamps are recommended to ensure a secure seal under pressure.

Will this fitting work with my fuel hose and AN setup?

Yes, if you use rubber fuel hose and a 12AN threaded connection. The adapter converts a 12AN male/female interface (1-1/16-12 UNF thread) to a 3/4" barb that accepts standard rubber fuel lines. It is not intended for hard-line or push-lock hose that requires a different barb profile.

• Thread size: 12AN (1-1/16-12 UNF)
• Barb size: 3/4" for rubber fuel hose
• Compatible only with rubber fuel lines, not rigid tubing

How durable and safe are these fittings under pressure?

Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum, the fittings provide a strong, lightweight connection that resists corrosion. They are rated to a maximum working pressure of 1,500 PSI and designed to operate across a wide temperature range. For best results use hose clamps to improve sealing and prevent leaks under load.

• Material: 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for strength and light weight
• Max working pressure: 1,500 PSI
• Temperature range: -40°F to 248°F

How straightforward is installation and what hardware will I need?

Installation is simple: thread the 12AN end into the mating AN fitting and push the rubber hose over the 3/4" barb. Because push-on hose can slip under vibration or pressure, we recommend using SAE or worm-drive clamps for a reliable seal. No special tools are required beyond basic hand tools for tightening clamps or AN fittings.

• Recommended: hose clamps for secure sealing
• No crimping of the barb required—push-fit plus clamp
• Hand tools sufficient; torque to AN spec if threaded into hard fittings

What applications are these fittings best suited for?

These adapters are ideal for aftermarket fuel systems, catch cans, return lines, or any setup using rubber fuel hose where you need to join to a 12AN port. Their straight profile keeps routing simple in tight spaces and the black finish helps them blend into engine bays. They are preferred where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connector is desired without permanent crimping.

• Use cases: fuel lines, return lines, catch cans, breather hoses
• Straight design for compact routing
• Pack of two for matched installations or spares

Who is this for? Mechanics, fabricators, motorsport enthusiasts, and home DIYers who need a reliable 12AN-to-barb adapter for rubber fuel hoses will find these EVIL ENERGY fittings useful. They suit anyone looking for a lightweight, high-pressure-capable connector that’s easy to install and maintain. Choose this two-piece kit when you need straightforward conversions between AN fittings and standard rubber hose while keeping parts light and durable.
