Durable hose ends for Reliable Fluid Connections
When putting together your high-performance build, the quality of your fluid transfer system connections can make all the difference between reliability and potential failure. Redhorse Performance hose ends are manufactured from Aerospace-grade materials and are precisely machined to exacting tolerances to ensure leak-free operation in even the most demanding applications. Our AN hose ends are designed to withstand extreme pressures, temperature variations, and vibration while maintaining seal integrity.
Our hose ends feature full-flow designs that eliminate restrictions and optimize fluid delivery, whether you're working with fuel, oil, coolant, brake or nitrous systems. The anodized finish not only provide aesthetic appeal to complement your engine bay but also offer enhanced corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance. Multiple configurations are available from straight to 180-degree options, allowing for proper routing and clearance in tight installation spaces.
Wide Range of Sizes, Thread Types, and Part Categories to Answer Your Plumbing Needs
Redhorse Performance offers a comprehensive range of AN hose ends designed to accommodate virtually any automotive plumbing requirement. Our inventory includes sizes from -3AN to -20AN, ensuring compatibility with various fluid system applications from small vacuum lines to high-volume fluid delivery systems. This standardized AN(Army-Navy) sizing system provides consistent fitment across different manufacturers making it easier to design and implement complex plumbing systems. Other popular thread options available include NPT (National Pipe Tapered), NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical), ORB (O-Ring Boss) and Metric threads, ensuring compatibility with existing components and international standards.
Our 2000 series Push Lock hose ends offer tool-free installation (hose ends onto Hose), while our traditional, and most popular, 1000 series AN hose ends provide secure mechanical connections through precision threading. We also offer our 6000 series Non-Swivel hose ends for space-saving, tight-fitting areas, 1200 series PTFE hose ends for high pressure and longevity, and much more specialty hose ends to answer all your plumbing needs. Each fitting is designed with installation convenience in mind, featuring wrench flats in accessible positions and special Redhorse Performance tooling to aid assembly and installation. You can also count on signature hand-polished finish which makes our parts stand out from the rest.
Frequently Asked Question
What are hose ends?
Hose ends are commonly referred to as fittings or AN connections on a fluid assembly. In high-performance automotive applications, these are typically called AN(Army-Navy) fittings. These precision components include various configurations such as straight fittings, angled fittings (45°, 90°, 180°), and specialty configurations like SAE Quick Connect conversion, Banjo, ORB adapters and more.
Can you reuse Redhorse Performance hose ends?
Yes, Redhorse Performance hose ends can be reused independently of the hose in many applications. Our reusable hose end fittings are designed specifically for this purpose, allowing for removal and reinstallation without compromising the connection's integrity. The replacement process typically involves removing the fitting off the old/failed hose, properly inspecting and preparing the removed hose end to confirm it’s able to be reused, and installing it onto new hose. This modularity is particularly valuable for custom automotive applications where system modifications or repairs are common or happen often.
Can you reuse Hoses?
This one is tricky. With there being such a wide variety of usages and applications, we cannot give a clear yes or no when it comes to reusing hose- it all depends on what fluid/system was being plumbed and how old the hose is. Hoses can deteriorate over time. Depending on which Redhorse Performance series hose you use, along with what fluid you’re plumbing (and for how long), will be key factors to determine if you can reuse the hose.
For example, harsh/caustic fuels like e85 and methanol are hard on parts. Even hoses with special inner-liners meant for alcohol-based fuels, like the above mentioned, can deteriorate after many years of use so it’s good practice to replace them if you feel the line begins to stiffen and sounds like it cracks if you flex it. On the other hand, hoses that plumb less-harsh fluids like coolant or transmission fluid can be reused. The user just needs to be sure to inspect them and give the ‘flex test’ like stated above.
