#8 180-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting

The #8 180-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting from FRAGOLA is an essential component for any serious fuel system or hydraulic line upgrade on high-performance vehicles. Designed for mechanics and enthusiasts building custom fuel delivery systems, cooling loops, or brake lines, this fitting delivers the precision engineering required when stock hose routing won't cut it. The 180-degree angle allows you to run hose lines in tight engine bays where straight or 90-degree fittings simply won't fit, making it indispensable for compact engine swaps and heavily modified vehicle architectures.

This fitting accepts 8 AN hose on both the input and output sides, connecting to an 8 AN female port with FRAGOLA's proven Sport-Crimp system for leak-free, reusable connections. The aluminum construction combined with black anodized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance in engine bay environments while maintaining a clean appearance in custom builds. The crimp design creates a mechanical seal that's more reliable than push-fit alternatives, allowing you to run higher pressures safely without the risk of hose separation under stress or vibration—critical when managing fuel delivery at 40+ PSI or boost-circuit cooling systems.

Street rodders, drag racers, and engine builders routinely specify FRAGOLA fittings when constructing braided stainless steel fuel or coolant lines because durability and fitment precision directly impact reliability. Whether you're routing fuel around a supercharger, cooling a turbocharged engine, or managing brake fluid through a custom circuit, the 180-degree angle eliminates costly rerouting and maintains clean, professional plumbing. Ensure your hose ends are properly crimped using the correct 8 AN crimp tool to achieve full seat pressure and prevent future leaks.
