EVIL ENERGY 8AN Straight Swivel Hose End Fitting - Black 2PCS, 6061-T6, 37° AN Seal & 360° Rotation

EVIL ENERGY 8AN straight swivel hose end fitting is a black 2-piece, 6061-T6 aluminum connector that seals at a 37° AN angle for stainless-steel and nylon braided CPE hoses.

This pair of 8AN straight swivel fittings is built to join braided CPE hoses to threaded ports with a reliable 37-degree AN seal. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in matte black, each swivel nut rotates 360° for easier assembly and alignment while allowing reuse and recycling. Rated for up to 1,500 PSI and a wide temperature range, these fittings suit performance plumbing, automotive fluid systems, and custom hose assemblies where space and orientation matter.

How does this fitting attach to braided CPE hoses?

Installation uses the AN 37° sealing surface on one side and a 3/4-16 UNF threaded end on the other. The swivel nut lets you position the hose without twisting the braid, and the internal profile is sized to accept standard 8AN hose ends.

• Thread size: 3/4-16 UNF on the threaded side for common ports.
• AN side: 37° sealing cone compatible with AN-style flared hose ends.
• Swivel action: 360° rotation reduces hose torque during tightening.
• Compatible hose types: stainless-steel braided and nylon braided CPE hoses only.

What strength and temperature limits should I expect?

The fittings are engineered to handle moderate to high fluid pressures and broad thermal conditions encountered in vehicle and industrial plumbing. They provide dependable performance within the published specifications when paired with compatible hose and proper installation.

• Maximum working pressure: 1,500 PSI when correctly assembled.
• Operating temperature range: -65°F to 252°F (-53°C to 122°C).
• Material: lightweight, corrosion-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum.
• Finish: durable black coating for appearance and surface protection.

Can I reuse these fittings and do they require special maintenance?

Yes, the swivel straight fittings are designed for reuse and recycling, provided threads and sealing surfaces remain undamaged. Routine inspection and cleaning will help maintain a reliable seal and long service life.

• Reusable design: disassemble and inspect sealing cone for scratches or deformation.
• Maintenance: keep threads and 37° seat free of debris and nicks.
• Replacement guidance: replace if the sealing angle or threads show wear.
• Assembly tip: hand-start threads and finish to torque spec to avoid cross-threading.

Will this fitting work in tight installs or rotating assemblies?

The 360° swivel makes it especially useful where hose orientation is constrained or subject to movement. Because the fitting lets you rotate the hose independently of the port, it reduces strain on the braided hose in cramped or dynamic setups.

• Swivel advantage: aligns hose without twisting the braid.
• Space-saving: straight profile fits where angled fittings won’t.
• Dynamic use: suitable for systems with occasional movement or vibration.
• Assembly benefit: easier routing and positioning in tight engine bays or equipment clusters.

Who is this for: This EVIL ENERGY 2-pack of 8AN straight swivel fittings is aimed at enthusiasts, fabricators, and technicians building or repairing braided CPE hose systems—especially automotive, motorsport, and industrial fluid lines that need a durable, reusable AN-style connection with flexible orientation options. Choose these connectors when you require a compact, black-anodized aluminum fitting rated for moderate pressures and wide temperatures, and when you want the convenience of a 360° swivel to simplify hose routing and assembly.
