#10 Straight Crimp Hose Fitting

The #10 Straight Crimp Hose Fitting from FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered component designed for builders and mechanics who demand reliability in high-flow fuel, coolant, and hydraulic systems. Whether you're assembling a custom engine bay, upgrading a fuel system for forced induction, or restoring a classic with modern plumbing, this straight crimp fitting provides leak-free connections at critical junctures where hose meets hard line. The fitting's straightforward geometry eliminates unnecessary bends, reducing turbulence and pressure drop—essential when every PSI counts in performance applications.

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum and finished in durable black anodizing, the #10 Straight Crimp Hose Fitting accepts a 10 AN hose and terminates into a 10 AN female port. The sport-crimp design uses a specialized die and tool to swage the hose end permanently onto the fitting's barbed section, creating a mechanical lock far superior to clamp-on alternatives—no slippage under vibration, no spiral cutting into reinforcement layers. The black anodized aluminum resists corrosion while remaining light enough to minimize unsprung weight in suspension-critical builds, and the finish won't degrade rubber or fray braided hose covers over time.

Mechanics building street rods, drag cars, and turbocharged street engines rely on FRAGOLA fittings for their repeatable quality and precise tolerances. Installation requires a proper crimp tool and die matched to the 10 AN size; once crimped, the fitting becomes permanent and non-serviceable at that hose end, so correct application is critical. This straight configuration works best where hose can run directly from component to port without angle compensation, making it ideal for radiator returns, fuel-pump discharge lines, and intercooler plumbing on tightly packaged engine bays.
