Push Lock Hose End - 180 Degree

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

Not every line justifies braided hose and cutter-style ends. The Finish Line Factory Push Lock Hose End - 180 Degree gives push-lock rubber hose a proper AN interface: barbed retention on the hose side, a female AN nut sealing on the 37 degree flare on the fitting side, in 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN with a 180 degree outlet. No sockets, no cutting collars, no special tools. Push the hose on and plumb like the rest of the system.

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. Push-lock is the quiet workhorse of hose systems: the multi-barb nipple grips the hose ID so aggressively that, on proper push-lock hose, the joint holds without a clamp. The trick to easy assembly is a square-cut hose, a touch of assembly lube on the barbs, and a steady push with the hose bottomed against the stop; if it slides on easily, the hose is oversized and will seep. The AN side seals dry, metal to metal on the flare. Know the lane: push-lock shines on catch cans, breathers, coolant overflow, transmission cooler lines, and modest fuel pressure, while high-pressure EFI fuel belongs on braided hose with cutter or crimp ends. Getting hose back off a push-lock barb usually means cutting it, so measure twice before that satisfying final shove.
