Swivel Hose End (Braided Rubber) - 180 Degree

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

Reusable hose ends live or die on machining tolerance, and the loose ones announce it with a weep at the collar. The Finish Line Factory Swivel Hose End (Braided Rubber) - 180 Degree assembles onto nylon or stainless braided rubber hose with a two-piece cutter-style design, a swiveling female AN connection, and high-quality o-rings selected for volatile fuels including E85. Offered in 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN, 16AN, 20AN. Assembles with hand tools, seals like it was crimped.

Benefits

• The socket threads onto the braid with firm, even resistance, so you can feel a correct assembly
• Full turnarounds pack into the space of the fitting, not a foot of looped hose
• The swivel spins freely until the nut draws down, so the hose never twists in your hand
• Tightens to a definite stop against the seat, not a vague squish
• Comes apart and reassembles for hose changes without sacrificing the fitting

Features

• Two-piece reusable swivel design for braided rubber hose (nylon or stainless braid)
• Female AN nut sealing on the 37 degree flare
• 180 Degree outlet angle
• Sizes: 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN, 16AN, 20AN
• O-rings selected for fuels including E85, plus oil, coolant, water, and air
• Sold as a single hose end

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. Assembly is the usual two-step for cutter-style ends: wrap the hose at the cut line so the braid stays tight, feed it fully into the socket, then lube the nipple threads lightly and wind the body in while the swivel keeps the hose from torquing. Aluminum AN wrenches on the flats protect the finish, and a vise jaw insert protects the socket while you work. The flare connection seals metal to metal with no sealant, ever; if it weeps, the cure is inspection of the flare faces, not another quarter turn. Rubber-lined hose is the comfortable choice for gasoline, E85, oil, and coolant plumbing; step to PTFE-lined hose and its matching ends for brake, clutch, or fuels that attack rubber over time.
