EVIL ENERGY 6AN 90 Degree Push Lock Hose Fitting End Black

EVIL ENERGY 6AN 90° push-lock hose fitting end is a black, 4-piece elbow adapter that converts a 6AN threaded connection to a 3/8" barb for rubber fuel lines.

This compact 90-degree elbow is built for tight routing where a straight connector won't fit. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, it offers a corrosion-resistant option for fuel and fluid plumbing on performance cars, motorcycles, and small engines. The fitting is designed to be used with rubber fuel hose and works with common AN systems; clamps are recommended to secure the barb connection and maximize sealing.

What sizes and thread specs does this adapter use?

The elbow converts a 6AN threaded inlet to a 3/8" barb outlet. The 6AN threaded end uses a 9/16-18 UNF thread pitch, the industry standard for AN fittings, enabling compatibility with many aftermarket hoses and bulkhead ports. The barb diameter fits standard 3/8" rubber fuel lines for a snug fit when clamped.

• 6AN (9/16-18 UNF) threaded inlet
• 3/8" barb outlet for rubber fuel hose
• Pack of 4 identical 90° elbow fittings

How tough is this fitting for performance use?

Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum, this elbow balances light weight with strength and corrosion resistance. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1,500 PSI and handles a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for many under-hood environments. While mechanically robust, it is intended specifically for rubber fuel lines rather than braided or PTFE hoses unless used with the correct inserts and clamps.

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

How should I install and seal the push-lock barb end?

Installation is straightforward: push the rubber fuel hose firmly onto the 3/8" barb and tighten a clamp over the hose to secure the seal. For best leak resistance, use a quality worm-drive or Oetiker clamp and ensure the hose is clean and free of nicks before assembly. The threaded 6AN end follows standard AN tightening practices; use a proper wrench and avoid over-torquing soft aluminum.

• Push the rubber hose fully over the 3/8" barb
• Use clamps (worm-drive or Oetiker) for reliable sealing
• Follow AN fitting torque best practices on 6AN thread

Will this work for my vehicle or project hose routing?

The 90° elbow is ideal where space is limited or where a low-profile turn reduces hose stress. Common uses include fuel feed/return lines, vapor management plumbing, and small-engine fuel systems. Confirm that your hoses are rubber type and the mating port accepts a 6AN (9/16-18 UNF) threaded adapter before ordering.

• Best for tight engine bay or chassis clearances
• Intended for rubber fuel hoses only
• Compatible with systems using 6AN threaded ports

Who is this for: EVIL ENERGY's 6AN 90° push-lock hose fitting end is aimed at DIY mechanics, tuners, and fabricators who need a compact, sturdy elbow for routing rubber fuel lines in performance vehicles, motorcycles, and small engines. If you work with AN plumbing and require a dependable, lightweight 90-degree adapter that accepts 3/8" rubber hose, this four-piece set offers a convenient, serviceable solution.
