Crimp-On Swivel Hose End - 180 Degree AN

A full U-turn in braided hose eats a foot of line; in a fitting it takes an inch.

When a line must never come apart, crimped is the honest answer. The Finish Line Factory Crimp-On Swivel Hose End - 180 Degree AN permanently swages onto nylon or stainless braided rubber hose, with a swiveling female AN nut, o-rings selected for volatile fuels including E85, and sizes 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN, 16AN. A 180 degree outlet routes the hose without stressing the liner. Built once, sealed for good.

Benefits

• Full turnarounds pack into the space of the fitting, not a foot of looped hose
• No collar to back off, no assembly to second-guess at the track
• The swivel nut still spins free for alignment even after the crimp is done
• Lower profile than a cutter-style end where clearance is tight
• A finished crimp feels like one solid piece, hose and fitting fused

Features

• Crimp-on design for braided rubber hose (nylon or stainless braid)
• Female AN swivel nut sealing on the 37 degree flare
• 180 Degree outlet angle
• Sizes: 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN, 16AN
• O-rings selected for fuels including E85, plus oil, coolant, water, and air
• Sold as a single hose end; replacement sleeves available separately

The Details

The 180 degree body performs a complete reversal within the fitting itself, replacing the long, kink-prone loop a hose would otherwise need to double back. A crimped end trades reusability for absolute retention: the sleeve is cold-formed around the hose to a specified diameter, and once formed it will not loosen, back off, or vibrate free. That makes crimp ends the pick for lines that live in vibration and heat, and for builders who want the factory-hose look without exposed threads. Correct assembly means cutting the hose square, seating it to full depth against the nipple stop, and crimping to the published diameter for the size, verified with calipers. The AN connection itself still seals dry on the 37 degree flare, no sealant. Fittings can be rebuilt after a hose retires using FLF replacement sleeves, so the machined body is a long-term investment rather than a consumable.
