The Vintage Air 358320 8AN 90-degree beadlock O-ring fitting is designed for air conditioning and refrigerant hose connections that require a compact angled installation. This hose-end fitting connects 8 AN reduced-barrier crimp hose to an 8 AN female O-ring port, helping create a secure and properly aligned connection within custom or replacement automotive air conditioning systems. Its 90-degree configuration can help route the hose around nearby components while maintaining a clean, organized installation.
The fitting combines aluminum and steel construction with a natural finish for dependable service in automotive A/C applications. The beadlock-style hose end is intended for use with compatible reduced-barrier hose and appropriate crimping equipment, while the female O-ring interface provides a sealing connection when paired with the correct O-ring and mating component. Always verify hose, port, refrigerant, and sealing-component compatibility before installation.
Use the Vintage Air 358320 fitting when building, servicing, or modifying an air conditioning system that uses 8 AN connections. Its angled design is useful for installations with limited routing space, helping position the hose without requiring an immediate sharp bend. Proper hose preparation, crimping, alignment, and sealing practices are important for achieving reliable system performance and minimizing the risk of leaks.
