EVIL ENERGY 6AN 45° Push-Lock Hose Fitting Set — 2pc Black Aluminum, 3/8" Barb, 6061-T6 Durable

EVIL ENERGY 6AN 45° push-lock hose fitting is a 6061-T6 aluminum aluminum barb adapter (6AN to 3/8") sold as a 2-piece black set for secure rubber fuel-line connections.

This pair of 45-degree push-lock hose fittings converts a 6AN threaded inlet (9/16-18 UNF) to a 3/8" barb, offering a compact, angled solution for routing rubber fuel hoses in tight engine bays or custom plumbing runs. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, these fittings are built for durability, moderate-pressure fuel systems, and neat hose routing where a right-angle would be too aggressive. They are designed to work specifically with rubber fuel lines and are recommended to be used with hose clamps for the best seal.

How does the 45° angle help with hose routing?

The 45-degree orientation reduces sharp bends and strain where lines leave a fitting, easing installation in crowded areas and helping to preserve hose life. Compared with straight or 90° fittings, a 45° adapter allows smoother transitions and better clearance near other components.

• Smoother hose path reduces kinking risk and improves fitment in tight spaces.
• Angled exit helps keep hoses away from heat sources and moving parts.
• Compact profile fits where larger elbows cannot without modification.

What materials and performance specs does it offer?

These fittings are milled from 6061-T6 aluminum for a good strength-to-weight ratio and anodized black for corrosion resistance. They are rated for typical fuel-system pressures and an extended temperature window for many automotive and industrial environments.

• Material: 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with black finish for durability.
• Pressure: Maximum working pressure up to 1,500 PSI.
• Temperature tolerance: -40°F to 248°F for broad environmental use.

Which hoses and sealing method should I use with this barb?

The barb end is sized for 3/8" rubber fuel hoses; it is intended for use with soft-wall rubber lines rather than hard tubing. For a reliable, leak-free connection, combine the push-lock barb with a quality hose clamp and inspect for a secure fit after installation.

• Compatible with rubber fuel lines sized for 3/8" barb connections.
• Use stainless or worm-drive clamps to increase sealing reliability.
• Not intended for push-lock plastic tubing or rigid metal lines.

How easy is installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward: thread the 6AN end into the mating port (9/16-18 UNF thread), slide the rubber hose onto the 3/8" barb, then secure with a clamp. Routine checks for tightness and signs of wear are recommended, especially after initial run-in or any maintenance that disturbs the assembly.

• Thread size: 6AN end uses 9/16-18 UNF for standard fittings.
• Recommend clamp usage to enhance the seal and prevent leaks.
• Inspect clamps and hoses periodically for safe operation.

Who is this for: These EVIL ENERGY 6AN 45° push-lock barb fittings are aimed at automotive hobbyists, performance tuners, fabricators, and technicians who need a compact, angled adapter for rubber fuel lines. They suit projects requiring durable lightweight fittings, cleaner hose routing, or replacements where space constraints rule out larger elbows. If you work with rubber fuel hoses in motorcycles, cars, custom builds, or small engines and require a stout, angled 6AN-to-3/8" solution, this two-piece black aluminum set is appropriate.
