EVIL ENERGY 8AN 90° Push-Lock Hose Fitting End — Black 4pc, 1/2" Barb, 6061-T6 Aluminum

EVIL ENERGY's 8AN 90-degree push-lock hose fitting end is a black anodized 8AN-to-1/2" barb connector sold in a 4-piece pack for creating compact, durable elbow connections on rubber fuel lines.

Designed for performance plumbing where space is limited, this 90° adapter converts an 8AN (3/4-16 UNF thread) male port to a 1/2" barb push-lock connection. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodize, the fitting is intended for rubber fuel hose systems and rated to handle common automotive pressures and temperatures. It’s a straightforward way to reroute fuel lines, save clearance, and tidy engine bays without complex assembly.

How does this 90° fitting save space in tight engine bays?

The elbow geometry reorients the hose exit 90 degrees from the threaded port, reducing hose bend radius and preventing kinks. Using a short push-lock barb keeps the overall profile compact compared with long straight adapters.

• Right-angle orientation reduces required clearance behind components.
• Short 1/2" barb minimizes hose extension and bending stress.
• Black anodized finish blends into engine compartments for a neater look.

What materials and pressure/temperature limits should I expect?

The fitting body is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for a good strength-to-weight ratio, with an anodized surface for corrosion resistance. It’s rated to a maximum working pressure of 1,500 PSI and operates across a wide temperature window suitable for typical fuel-system conditions.

• 6061-T6 aluminum construction for durable, lightweight service.
• Maximum working pressure: 1,500 PSI for common fuel plumbing tasks.
• Temperature range: -40°F to 248°F to cover cold starts and hot engine environments.

Which hoses and installation steps are compatible with this barb fitting?

This adapter is specifically made for rubber fuel lines and will not reliably secure non-rubber or braided hoses without additional hardware. Installation is simple — push the hose onto the barb and use a clamp to ensure a leak-resistant connection under pressure.

• Barb size: 1/2" barb designed for standard rubber fuel hose inner diameters.
• Thread size: 8AN end uses 3/4-16 UNF threads to mate to compatible ports or fittings.
• Recommended: use quality hose clamps for enhanced sealing and safety.

Will this fitting work with my existing AN plumbing and fuel system?

The 8AN threaded end accepts standard 8AN female ports (3/4-16 UNF), making it compatible with many aftermarket fuel rails, pumps, and adapters that use AN sizing. Confirm thread type and hose material before installing to ensure a proper match.

• Compatible with 8AN (3/4-16 UNF) female ports and components.
• Meant for rubber fuel hoses — not a replacement for push-fit nylon or braided line ends without adapters.
• Sold as a set of four for multiple connections or spares during installations.

Who is this for: The EVIL ENERGY 8AN 90° push-lock hose fitting end is intended for automotive enthusiasts, mechanics, and fabricators who need compact elbow adapters for rubber fuel lines. It suits engine-bay plumbing projects, fuel-system reroutes, and custom builds where space, durability, and clean aesthetics matter. If you work with AN-threaded components and rubber fuel hose, this 4-piece kit provides simple, serviceable right-angle connections — remember to pair each barb with an appropriate clamp and verify compatibility with your system before installation.
