Built from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, it balances strength and weight and is designed for repeated assembly and reuse. The part supports typical automotive and motorsport pressures and temperatures, making it suitable wherever AN-style hose connections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 180° orientation help in tight engine bays?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 180° bend routes hoses back toward the engine or chassis, reducing bend radius and preventing kinks in constrained spaces. It keeps the hose profile low where clearance above or beside the fitting is limited, and the swivel end allows final alignment without twisting the hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile 180° angle for tight clearance routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e360° swivel to orient the hose without torsion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with stainless and nylon braided lines to maintain hose integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and pressure ratings should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis EVIL ENERGY fitting is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance for automotive applications.
