Swivel Hose End (Braided PTFE) - 30 Degree

Thirty degrees is the nudge that keeps a hose off a hot manifold without a hard turn.

PTFE-lined hose needs its own hose end style, and forcing rubber-hose fittings onto it is how fuel ends up on the floor. The Finish Line Factory Swivel Hose End (Braided PTFE) - 30 Degree is purpose-built for nylon braided PTFE hose: 6061-T6 aluminum, a compression olive ferrule that seals directly on the PTFE liner, o-rings chosen for racing fuels including E85, and sizes 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN. The 30 degree outlet routes the stiff liner without strain. The correct end for the toughest liner.

Benefits

• The olive bites the liner with a crisp, positive compression you can feel in the wrench
• The hose eases past obstructions it used to rub against
• The swivel nut aligns freely so the stiff PTFE hose never fights the flare
• Assemblies come out consistent once the flare technique clicks, first line to tenth
• Reusable body means experiments and re-routes cost a ferrule, not a fitting

Features

• Purpose-built for nylon braided PTFE-lined hose
• Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction
• Compression olive ferrule seals on the PTFE liner (replacement ferrules available)
• 30 Degree outlet, female AN swivel nut on the 37 degree flare
• Sizes: 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN
• O-rings selected for racing fuels including E85, plus oil, water, and air

The Details

The gentle 30 degree sweep steers the hose just past an obstruction while keeping the flow path nearly straight, the subtle angle that saves a bend radius. PTFE liner is the chemistry king of hose walls, untouched by E85, methanol-blend fuels, brake fluid, and long fuel-soak that slowly attacks rubber, but it will not seal on a barb, so these ends compress a one-time-use olive ferrule between the flared liner and the fitting body. Assembly rewards patience: cut the hose square, dress the braid back, slide the nut and olive on, flare the liner evenly over the olive, then draw the body down until the compression seats. The AN connection itself stays a dry 37 degree flare joint, no sealant. Fittings are fully reusable across hose changes with a fresh olive each time. If your line carries plain gasoline or oil and never sees harsh chemistry, rubber-lined hose with its matching ends assembles easier and costs less; PTFE earns its premium where the fluid or the temperature demands it.
