EVIL ENERGY 6AN Straight Hose End Fitting 2pcs
Product description
This straight swivel hose end fitting is designed for connecting 6AN braided fuel and fluid lines where a low-profile, reusable connection is needed. It offers a compact 37-degree AN sealing surface and a full 360° swivel to simplify routing and prevent hose twisting during installation, making it useful for automotive, marine, and motorsport plumbing tasks.
Key Points
The fitting is intended for use with stainless steel braided and nylon braided hoses and includes an AN-threaded side sealed at a 37-degree angle for a leak-resistant mating surface. According to the manufacturer, the thread designation on the 6AN side is 9/16-18 UNF, which is standard for AN fittings of this size. The swivel design allows rotation during tightening, which can help align hoses without putting torque on the hose end.
This pair of fittings is reusable and recyclable, which can reduce waste when hoses are serviced repeatedly. Keep in mind that they are intended specifically for braided hoses and may not be appropriate for push-on or non-braided lines.

Usage Recommendations
Install by ensuring the hose is compatible with AN-style fittings and fully seated against the 37-degree sealing surface before tightening. The 360° swivel helps you achieve the correct orientation without twisting the hose, so tighten the swivel while holding the hose assembly steady. For repeated disassembly, inspect the sealing surfaces and hose end for wear, and replace components showing deformation or excessive abrasion.
Consider that aluminum fittings are lightweight and corrosion-resistant in many environments, but in marine applications extra attention to galvanic corrosion may be needed depending on mating materials and exposure conditions. ⚙️🛠️
