The AN Female to PTFE 45-Degree Hose Adapter is a specialized fitting designed to seamlessly connect AN-style hoses to PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) hoses in a 45-degree configuration. This adapter is essential in automotive, industrial, and performance applications where angled connections are required to accommodate tight spaces or optimize fluid routing.
Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, known for its exceptional strength, lightweight properties, and corrosion resistance.
Features a durable anodized finish (commonly available in black, blue, or red) for enhanced protection against rust and a sleek, professional appearance.
Precise Design:
Designed with a 45-degree angled bend, this fitting is perfect for situations where a straight connection would be impractical or where space constraints demand a more flexible approach.
Equipped with a PTFE olive (ferrule) for a secure and leak-proof seal with the PTFE hose lining.
Thread Type:
Standard AN (Army/Navy) 37° flare threads provide a reliable and leak-resistant connection.
Ensures compatibility with other AN fittings and hoses, offering versatility in various setups.
Compatibility:
Designed to work with PTFE-lined hoses, which are widely used for their durability and chemical resistance.
Suitable for transporting a wide range of fluids, including fuel (gasoline, ethanol, diesel), oil, coolant, water, and certain chemicals.
Performance Capabilities:
High Pressure: Typically rated to withstand pressures up to 1000 PSI or more (varies by size and manufacturer).
Wide Temperature Range: Withstands temperatures from -65°F to 450°F (-54°C to 232°C), making it ideal for high-performance and extreme applications.
Available Sizes:
Comes in a variety of sizes, such as AN-3, AN-4, AN-6, AN-8, and larger, ensuring compatibility with different hose diameters.
Applications:
Automotive:
Fuel delivery systems.
Oil cooling lines.
Brake and clutch hydraulic systems.
Power steering systems.
Industrial:
Hydraulic equipment.
Chemical transport systems.
Pneumatic applications.
Marine:
Fuel and oil lines for boats, with excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion.
Aerospace:
For hydraulic and fuel systems in specialized applications requiring precision.
Benefits:
Optimized Fluid Routing:
The 45-degree angle simplifies hose alignment in complex setups, minimizing hose stress and kinking.
Durability:
The combination of aluminum and PTFE ensures long-lasting performance, even in harsh environments.
Leak-Proof Design:
The 37° flare and PTFE olive provide a tight, vibration-resistant seal, preventing leaks even under high pressure.
Corrosion and Heat Resistance:
Anodized aluminum resists corrosion from moisture and chemicals, while PTFE lining withstands high temperatures and harsh fluids.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Anodized finishes not only protect the adapter but also provide a polished look for custom builds.
Installation Tips:
Preparation:
Ensure the PTFE hose is cut cleanly using a hose cutter to avoid fraying.
Alignment:
Confirm the 45-degree angle aligns with your system to reduce stress on the connection.
Tightening:
Use aluminum AN wrenches to prevent damaging the anodized coating during installation.
Double-Check:
Test for leaks after installation by running fluid through the system under low pressure.
Why Choose PTFE with AN Adapters?
PTFE-lined hoses paired with AN fittings are the gold standard for high-performance systems due to their ability to handle extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive fluids. The 45-degree adapter enhances versatility, making it a must-have for demanding setups.
With its precision design, durability, and optimized performance, the AN Female to PTFE 45-Degree Hose Adapter is the ideal choice for professionals and enthusiasts looking for a reliable and efficient solution for their fluid connection needs.
