Radium Engineering -8AN 45 Degree PTFE Hose End - Black | Universal (14-0635)

The right hose end angle is chosen by the chassis, not the catalog.

The Radium Engineering 8AN 45 Degree PTFE Hose End is the building block for extending or repairing Radium PTFE hose assemblies: black anodized aluminum, made specifically for PTFE hose, with internal O-rings that let the end swivel freely during installation so you can clock the fitting after the joint is built. The 45 degree configuration is the compromise angle that saves hose from a gentle bend it should not make. Buy exactly the angles your routing calls for, one end at a time.

What You'll Feel

• Hose runs that route the way the chassis wants instead of the way straight ends allow
• Painless final alignment, with the end swiveling on internal O-rings while you clock it
• A sealed joint rated for the full capability of Radium's 1200 psi tested PTFE hose
• Matching black anodized hardware across every line in the build

Features

• 8AN 45 degree hose end, black anodized aluminum
• Made specifically for PTFE hose; cannot be used with rubber hose
• Internal O-rings allow easy swiveling during installation
• Compatible with Radium 8AN PTFE hose and DIY PTFE hose kits
• Sold individually

The Details

PTFE hose ends work differently than rubber-hose ends, which is why the two are never interchangeable: the fitting captures the fluoropolymer core mechanically as the two-piece body threads together, rather than biting into a rubber liner. Assembly rewards patience: cut the hose square, keep the stainless braid contained, seat the core fully, and thread the body together. The internal O-rings then earn their keep at installation, letting the assembled end rotate to meet its mating flare at exactly the right clock position before you tighten. Typical duty for the 45 degree configuration includes sweeping approaches where a straight end would bow the hose. AN flare connections install dry and clean: hand thread to full engagement, then tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn past bottomed out.
