Swivel Hose End (Braided PTFE) - 45 Degree AN

Half the corner, none of the kink: 45 degrees earns its place in every parts drawer.

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) - 45 Degree AN 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 45 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
• Routing relaxes into place where a straight end used to fight you
• 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)
• 45 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

A 45 degree sweep splits the difference between straight and a full corner, taking strain out of the hose where a right angle would overshoot the routing. 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.
