EVIL ENERGY 8AN PTFE Hose End Fitting 45° Black - 2-Pack, 6061-T6 Aluminum, 360° Swivel

EVIL ENERGY's 8AN 45° PTFE hose end fitting is a two-piece black 6061-T6 aluminum connector designed specifically for PTFE fuel hose, offering a 45° routing angle, 360° swivel and a 3/4-16UNF thread for secure, high-pressure service.

This pair of fittings is engineered for PTFE-lined fuel lines and similar applications where reliable sealing, compact routing and corrosion resistance matter. Built from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and sealed on the AN side with a 37° seating angle, these fittings are intended for use only with PTFE hose constructions and deliver a working pressure rating suitable for demanding fluid systems. They come in a satin black finish and include a swivel design to simplify installation and alignment in tight spaces.

How does the 45° angle improve hose routing?

The 45° bend reduces sharp turns and stress on the hose when steering around engine components, helping maintain flow and extend hose life. It also saves space compared with straight fittings when clearance is limited.

• 45° elbow profile for compact routing around obstacles
• Reduces kinking compared with tight bends
• Ideal where straight runs would interfere with nearby components
• Satin black finish minimizes visual distraction in engine bays

Is this fitting compatible with my hose and system pressure?

These fittings are made exclusively for PTFE-lined hose and are not suitable for rubber or braided non-PTFE hoses. They are rated for up to 1500 PSI and a wide temperature band, making them appropriate for many fuel system and fluid transfer setups that match the hose type.

• Thread: 8AN (3/4-16UNF) — confirm matching thread on your component
• Working pressure: 1500 PSI — suitable for many automotive and industrial fuel circuits
• Temperature range: -65°F to 252°F — covers cold starts to high-heat operation
• Seal: 37° AN seating angle for metal-to-metal sealing on the AN side

What materials and design features make installation easier?

Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, these fittings balance light weight with strength and corrosion resistance. The 360° swivel allows the hose to be positioned after assembly so you can achieve exact alignment without putting torsion on the hose or threads.

• 6061-T6 aluminum for strength and reduced weight
• 360° swivel to align hose ends after tightening
• Black anodized or coated finish for added corrosion protection
• Compact design for tight engine bay or chassis spaces

How should I prepare and install these PTFE hose ends?

Use fittings only with PTFE-lined hose and follow standard AN installation steps: cut the hose square, insert the liner fully, slide the collar, then assemble and torque to recommended AN values. The swivel feature lets you orient the hose after tightening to prevent twisting the hose body.

• Verify hose is PTFE-lined before use — not for rubber or fabric hoses
• Cut hose square, deburr and insert liner for a clean seal
• Tighten to AN torque specs and then swivel hose to final orientation
• Inspect the 37° seat and threads for damage before assembly

Who is this for? EVIL ENERGY's 8AN 45° PTFE hose end fittings are aimed at mechanics, performance builders, motorsports enthusiasts and technicians who use PTFE-lined fuel hose in high-performance or space-constrained installations. If you need a robust, swivel-capable AN fitting for fuel, oil, or other compatible fluids and your system uses PTFE hose, this two-piece black aluminum 45° fitting provides a practical balance of durability, routing flexibility and pressure capability.
