Vibrant -3AN 180 Degree High Flow Hose End Fitting for PTFE Lined Hose - Aluminum
This Vibrant Performance hose end fitting connects -3AN PTFE lined hoses in high performance automotive applications. The 180 degree bend enables tight radius routing for fuel oil or nitrous lines in engine bays transmissions or turbo setups. High flow internal bore maintains pressure and volume for reliable power delivery in racing or street builds.
Key Features
- High Flow Bore: Larger internal diameter reduces flow restriction compared to standard AN fittings supports higher volume transfer
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight durable material with black anodized finish resists corrosion withstands high heat and pressure
- 180 Degree Bend: Full U-turn design fits confined spaces allows clean hose routing around headers pumps or firewalls
- PTFE Hose Compatible: Beadlock style secures smooth PTFE inner liner prevents kinking or blowouts under boost
- Reusable Design: Swageless assembly disassembles easily for maintenance or hose replacement saves time and cost
Product Notes
- Use only with -3AN PTFE lined braided hose for proper seal and performance
- Inspect fittings regularly for wear in high vibration environments
- Small lightweight part ships securely in protective packaging
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Slide hose through fitting insert ferrule and tighten clamp to 60 in-lbs torque using AN hose assembly tool
- Compatible with all standard -3AN male female swivel fittings and adapters

Fabrication
Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...

Fittings
Automotive fluid system fittings are the hardware that connects hoses, hard lines, and components within fuel, oil, cooling, brake, power steering, and intercooler circuits, and the quality and correct sizing of these fittings directly determines whether a high-performance fluid system remains leak-free under the pressure, temperature, and vibration conditions that race and street performance environments produce. The AN fitting standard, derived from military Aircraft-Navy specifications, provides a consistent thread and flare geometry across fuel, oil, and hydraulic applications that allows interchangeability between brands and simplifies system design by providing a known thread engagement and sealing approach for every connection. Swivel fittings, bulkhead adapters, 45-degree and 90-degree elbow fittings, tee and union adapters, and reducer fittings allow performance builders to route lines through tight spaces and around obstacles while maintaining correct flow area without res...
