The Texas Speed 3AN 90 Degree Forged Swivel PTFE Hose End is a black forged swivel hose end for -3AN PTFE braided hose with a 90 degree bend, which lets the hose leave the port at a right angle and is often used where a straight hose end would hit a frame rail, inner fender or accessory. In this size, -3AN lines are small-diameter lines typically used for gauge feeds, boost or vacuum reference lines and nitrous or small fluid 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 3AN 90 degree PTFE hose end fit?
This hose end is sized for -3AN 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 -3AN PTFE hose rather than a rubber-lined braided hose.
Can I use this 3AN 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 3AN 90 degree forged swivel PTFE hose end is intended for fuel, oil and coolant lines.
What is the Texas Speed 3AN 90 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 3AN 90 degree forged swivel PTFE hose end is not vehicle specific. It fits any -3AN Texas Speed PTFE braided hose and connects to any standard -3AN male port or adapter fitting.
What is the difference between this forged swivel hose end and the standard Texas Speed 3AN 90 degree swivel hose end?
Texas Speed offers this 3AN 90 degree hose end in two versions: this forged swivel version (TSP-3017) and a standard swivel version (TSP-3013). 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.
