EVIL ENERGY 8AN Female to 3/8" Barb 90° Swivel Adapter — 6061‑T6 Aluminium, 1500 PSI

This compact EVIL ENERGY adapter lets you join AN-threaded plumbing to a reinforced hose quickly and with a low profile turn. Designed for automotive, marine, and performance fluid systems, the 90° swivel minimizes stress on hoses and enables neat routing in tight spaces. The AN side uses a 37° flare seal while the barb end accepts a 3/8" ID hose and is intended to be secured with a clamp for leak-resistant operation.

How does the swivel design improve hose routing?

The 90-degree swivel body reduces the need to twist or bend hoses, which helps prevent kinks and premature wear. Because the swivel pivots at the threaded AN connection, you can orient the hose without rotating the mating component.

• Swivel action isolates hose orientation from the AN thread.
• Low-profile elbow shape suits confined engine bays.
• Reduces mechanical stress on hose ends and clamps.
• Simplifies alignment during assembly or maintenance.

What are the size and sealing details I need to know?

The threaded side is an 8AN female, which follows the 3/4-16 UNF specification, while the hose connection is a 3/8" barb sized for standard 3/8" ID hose. The AN flare uses a 37° seat for metal-to-metal sealing; the barb side seals with hose tension and a recommended clamp.

• Thread: 8AN female (3/4-16 UNF) for AN fittings and adapters.
• Barb OD: 3/8" to accept 3/8" inner-diameter hoses.
• Flare angle: 37° AN flare on the threaded side.
• Clamping: use a quality hose clamp for reliable sealing.

How durable and temperature-resistant is this fitting?

The fitting is machined from 6061‑T6 aluminum alloy, offering a favorable strength-to-weight ratio for fluid system components. It’s rated for a working pressure up to 1500 PSI and can operate across a broad temperature range, making it suitable for many performance applications.

• Material: 6061‑T6 aluminum for corrosion resistance and light weight.
• Working pressure: up to 1500 PSI under correct installation.
• Temperature range: approximately -65°F to 252°F for varied environments.
• Surface finish: machined for reliable thread and flare engagement.

Who is this for? Technicians, racers, fabricators, and DIY mechanics who need a compact, high‑pressure transition between AN-threaded plumbing and common 3/8" hose will find this EVIL ENERGY 8AN female to 3/8" barb 90° swivel fitting useful. It’s aimed at installations where hose routing, vibration resistance, and a secure AN flare are priorities — ideal for fuel, coolant bypasses, vacuum, or other low-viscosity fluid lines when paired with compatible hoses and clamps.
