#8 135 Deg Female O-Ring Fitting

The #8 135 Deg Female O-Ring Fitting from Vintage Air is a precision hose end connector engineered for AC refrigerant systems in custom and classic automotive applications. Designed for builders and technicians who demand reliability in climate control upgrades, this fitting serves as the critical charge port interface between your hose assembly and the air conditioning circuit. Whether you're retrofitting a vintage vehicle with modern cooling capacity or upgrading an existing system, this component ensures leak-free connections under pressure and temperature cycling.

Built from aluminum and steel with natural and zinc oxide finish, the #8 135 Deg Female O-Ring Fitting accommodates 8 AN hose crimp connections on one end and an 8 AN female O-ring port on the other, creating a robust sealed interface rated for R-134a refrigerant systems. The 135-degree angle design optimizes routing in tight engine bays and complex plumbing layouts, reducing stress on adjacent fittings and hoses while maintaining full flow capacity. The female O-ring receiver accepts standard charging adapters and diagnostic equipment, making system service and maintenance straightforward without special tools or adapters.

Mechanics and hot rod enthusiasts rely on Vintage Air fittings when building integrated AC systems for street rods, muscle cars, and restorations where OEM charge ports are unavailable or incompatible. The 0.18 lb weight and compact 4 x 1.9 x 5.65-inch footprint allow seamless integration into engine bays with minimal clearance issues. Installation requires proper 8 AN hose crimping equipment and standard refrigerant system evacuation and charging procedures; this fitting is NOT compatible with R-12 systems and is rated exclusively for R-134a refrigerant.
