EVIL ENERGY 6AN 45 Degree Push Lock Hose Fitting End Black

EVIL ENERGY's 6AN 45° push-lock hose fitting end is a black, 6061-T6 aluminum adapter that converts a 6AN male thread to a 3/8" rubber fuel-line barb for compact, angled hose runs.

Designed for automotive and performance applications where space and routing matter, this 45-degree adapter lets you change hose direction without bulky bends. The kit contains four fittings finished in black and threaded 9/16-18 UNF on the AN side, making them compatible with standard 6AN fittings and push-lock hoses intended for fuel-line use. The alloy construction balances strength and light weight while tolerating a wide temperature range for common engine-bay environments.

How will a 45° AN-to-barb fitting improve tight hose routing?

A 45° angle reduces sharp bends and stress in short hose runs, helping maintain flow and preventing premature kinking. Because the fitting redirects the hose smoothly, it’s useful where clearance to chassis, turbochargers, or other components is limited.

• Reduces hose bend radius compared with 90° adapters
• Fits restricted spaces behind engine accessories or brackets
• Helps maintain consistent fuel or fluid flow through tight assemblies

What materials and pressure ratings does this fitting offer?

The adapter is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a good strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance when properly prepared or anodized. It is rated for up to 1,500 PSI working pressure and operates across a wide temperature window suitable for most automotive fluids.

• Material: 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for durability and light weight
• Working pressure: up to 1,500 PSI under recommended conditions
• Temperature range: -40°F to 248°F for common engine-bay use

Which hose types and sealing methods work with this barb fitting?

This barb fitting is designed specifically for use with rubber fuel lines and push-lock style hoses. For a secure, leak-resistant connection it’s recommended to pair the barb with a quality hose clamp or crimping system designed for rubber fuel hose.

• Compatible with rubber fuel-line hose (not intended for braided PTFE push-lock without proper adapters)
• Use stainless-steel clamps or OEM-style crimp sleeves for best sealing
• Thread side: 6AN (9/16-18 UNF) to match standard AN fittings and adapters

How simple is installation and what should I check after fitting?

Installation is straightforward: push the rubber hose onto the 3/8" barb, position a clamp, and tighten to secure the connection. After installation, inspect for proper hose engagement, clamp positioning, and test at low pressure before full operation.

• Push hose fully onto barb until shoulder meets hose end
• Place clamp just behind the barb ridges and tighten evenly
• Pressure-test the line and re-check clamps after initial run-in

Who is this for? EVIL ENERGY's 6AN 45° push-lock hose fitting end is aimed at DIY mechanics, performance tuners, and professional fabricators who need a compact, angled AN-to-barb solution for rubber fuel lines. It's suitable for engine bays, fuel systems, and other fluid-routing projects that demand a reliable, space-saving adapter with solid pressure and temperature ratings. If you work with rubber fuel hoses and standard AN hardware, this black-finished 45° adapter gives a practical balance of fit, function, and durability.
