EVIL ENERGY 6AN to 3/8" 45° Push-Lock Hose Fittings — 4PCS Black 6061-T6, Compact Angled Barbs

EVIL ENERGY's 4-piece 6AN to 3/8" 45° push-lock hose fittings are black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum barbs designed to make secure fuel-line connections in tight spaces.

These 45-degree push-lock fittings convert a 6AN threaded inlet (9/16-18 UNF) to a 3/8" barb for rubber fuel hoses, offering a compact, angled solution where straight fittings won't fit. Constructed from heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, the set is built to withstand the pressures and temperature swings common in automotive and motorsport fuel systems. The fittings are supplied as a four-piece kit to service multiple hose runs or provide spares.

How do these 45° fittings help when space is limited?

The angled body reduces strain and routing complexity when hoses must turn near chassis, engines, or accessory brackets. By changing the hose exit direction by 45 degrees, they prevent sharp bends and improve clearance for adjacent components.

• Compact 45° profile for tight routing
• Reduces hose kinking and stress points
• Black finish minimizes glare and blends with engine bay components

What hoses and systems are compatible with the 6AN to 3/8" barb?

These barbs are made specifically for rubber fuel lines sized to fit a 3/8" barb; they rely on clamp sealing rather than crimp. They are intended for fuel and similar fluid transfer on vehicles and equipment where barbed push-fit connections are common.

• Fits rubber fuel hoses sized for a 3/8" barb
• 6AN threaded inlet matches 9/16-18 UNF ports
• Not intended for PTFE, braided stainless, or push-lock hose systems without proper adapters

How durable are these fittings under pressure and temperature?

Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum, the fittings combine lightweight construction with good strength for automotive use. Their rated maximum working pressure and operating temperature range make them suitable for many fuel system applications, provided installation follows best practices.

• Maximum working pressure up to 1,500 PSI
• Operational temperature range from −40°F to 248°F
• 6061-T6 aluminum resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity

What is needed to install these push-lock barb fittings correctly?

Installation is straightforward: thread the 6AN end into the mating port and slide the rubber hose onto the 3/8" barb. For reliable sealing and long service life, use an appropriate hose clamp and avoid overtightening the hose clamp or the threaded connection.

• Hand-tighten then torque 6AN connection to recommended spec for your system
• Use a quality hose clamp on the 3/8" barb for leak-free sealing
• Inspect hose end for damage and cut squarely before fitting

Who this is for: Mechanics, fabricators, racers, and DIY enthusiasts who need a low-profile, angled transition from a 6AN threaded port to a 3/8" rubber fuel hose will find this EVIL ENERGY four-piece set practical. It’s suited to applications where space, routing, and reliable clamp-sealed barbs matter—ideal for repairs, custom fuel lines, or spares on performance and street vehicles.
