#6 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End Straight

The #6 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End Straight from FRAGOLA is a precision fuel and fluid line fitting engineered for high-performance automotive applications where reliability and secure connections are non-negotiable. Designed for serious enthusiasts and professional mechanics building race engines, street machines, or custom fuel systems, this straight hose end fitting eliminates leaks and vibration-related failures that plague standard hose clamps. The 6 AN size accommodates fuel flow demands in supercharged, turbocharged, and nitrous oxide systems where pressure spikes and thermal cycling demand superior durability.

This crimp-on hose end features aerospace-grade aluminum construction with black anodized finish, protecting against corrosion while reducing weight compared to steel alternatives—critical in competition environments. The straight configuration prevents kinks and flow restriction, maintaining consistent fuel delivery at high RPM while the crimp-seal design creates a permanent, leak-proof connection that withstands pressure cycles and vibration far beyond what push-on fittings can tolerate. Unlike reusable fittings, the one-piece crimp design leaves no room for connection failure, making it the industry standard for fuel injection conversions, EFI retrofits, and custom cooling system builds. The 6 AN female port accepts industry-standard -6 hose, ensuring compatibility across platforms and allowing builders to source components from multiple manufacturers without adapter headaches.

Professional engine builders, fuel system specialists, and dedicated weekend warriors who demand race-quality results rely on FRAGOLA crimp fittings for LS swaps, small-block restorations, and high-boost applications where fuel system integrity directly impacts engine longevity. Installation requires a proper crimping tool—not a substitute clamp—ensuring the hose barb seats completely within the fitting body. The straight end orientation suits tight engine bays and direct hose runs where 45-degree or 90-degree angles create packaging conflicts, making this fitting essential for compact displacement engines and modern transverse platforms. Each fitting ships individually, allowing builders to assemble custom fuel system layouts without inventory bloat or component waste.
