The Texas Speed 12AN 45 Degree Forged Swivel PTFE Hose End is a black forged swivel hose end for -12AN PTFE braided hose with a 45 degree bend, which is a common choice for routing a line away from a fuel rail, oil port or sensor adapter at a mild angle without putting a tight bend in the hose itself. In this size, -12AN is a large line size used for oil cooler and remote filter plumbing, dry sump and turbo oil drain lines, high-flow fuel systems and coolant or steam lines. Texas Speed designs these hose ends to work exclusively with its own PTFE braided flex lines, so they should be matched with TSP PTFE hose rather than standard rubber-core braided hose.
The fitting is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in black. Texas Speed rates its AN hose ends for fuel system, cooling hose and oil line duty, and notes that they are built for leak-free performance and straightforward assembly. These hose fittings are not suitable for high-pressure applications such as brake lines or hydraulic systems.

FAQ
What hose does the Texas Speed 12AN 45 degree PTFE hose end fit?
This hose end is sized for -12AN PTFE braided hose. Texas Speed states its PTFE hose ends are designed to work exclusively with Texas Speed PTFE braided flex lines, so pair it with TSP -12AN PTFE hose rather than a rubber-lined braided hose.
Can I use this 12AN hose end on brake lines or a hydraulic system?
No. Texas Speed specifies that its hose fittings are not suitable for high-pressure applications such as brake lines or hydraulic systems. This 12AN 45 degree forged swivel PTFE hose end is intended for fuel, oil and coolant lines.
What is the Texas Speed 12AN 45 degree hose end made of?
It is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum with a black finish. Texas Speed builds its AN hose ends for corrosion resistance and leak-free performance in fuel systems, cooling hoses and oil lines.
Is this a universal part?
Yes. The 12AN 45 degree forged swivel PTFE hose end is not vehicle specific. It fits any -12AN Texas Speed PTFE braided hose and connects to any standard -12AN male port or adapter fitting.
What is the difference between this forged swivel hose end and the standard Texas Speed 12AN 45 degree swivel hose end?
Texas Speed offers this 12AN 45 degree hose end in two versions: this forged swivel version (TSP-12016) and a standard swivel version (TSP-12012). Both are black, CNC machined 6061 aluminum PTFE hose ends in the same size and angle. The forged swivel version uses a forged body per Texas Speed's description. Check the TSP product pages or contact BPS if you are unsure which version your build calls for.
