Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in corrosion-resistant black, the set offers a compact, lightweight option for routing fuel, oil return, vacuum, or other compatible fluids where a barb connection is preferred. They are rated for demanding conditions but intended specifically for rubber fuel lines and work best with hose clamps for secure sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong and heat-resistant are these fittings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fitting is rated to withstand up to 1,500 PSI of working pressure and a broad temperature range from -40°F to 248°F.

These EVIL ENERGY fittings are suited to DIY mechanics, racers, and workshop professionals who need a compact, high-pressure barb adapter for rubber fuel lines. If you retrofit carbureted systems, route return lines, or build custom fuel plumbing on racecars, street cars, boats, or small engines, the lightweight aluminum construction and high PSI rating make this 4-pack a practical choice. Note: they are intended for rubber hose applications — use appropriate alternatives for PTFE-lined, braided, or specialty hoses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use these fittings with braided stainless hose?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. These barb fittings are designed for rubber fuel lines; braided hoses typically need AN-style or crimp fittings compatible with their inner liner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do they require thread sealant on the 6AN end?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Typically AN threads seal by metal-to-metal contact; use PTFE tape or sealant only if your assembly specifically calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"EVIL ENERGY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55166643011927,"sku":"B0BN53LMLB","price":36.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/evil-energy-front-packaging-aluminum-6an-barb.jpg?v=1790369446","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/evil-energy-6an-to-3-8-straight-push-lock-hose-fittings-4pc-black-anodized-aluminum-1-500-psi","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
