#8 180 Degree Hose End Push Lock

The #8 180 Degree Hose End Push Lock from Triple X Race Components is a precision hydraulic and fuel line fitting designed for high-performance racing, automotive fabrication, and custom engine builds. This 180-degree elbow adapter connects two 8 AN hose lines at a sharp angle, allowing builders to route coolant, fuel, or brake fluid around tight engine compartments and complex manifold configurations. Whether you're assembling a street rod, competition car, or specialized motorsports application, this fitting eliminates the need for multiple adapters and custom bends.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, the #8 180 Degree Hose End Push Lock features a push-lock barb design that securely grips 8 AN hose without requiring separate clamps or hose clamp tools. The 180-degree geometry allows the fitting to redirect fluid flow in a full reversal, making it ideal for tight-radius plumbing where traditional 90-degree fittings fall short. The anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion while maintaining minimal weight, a critical consideration in weight-sensitive racing platforms. Push-lock technology ensures a consistent, vibration-resistant seal that holds up under pressure cycling and thermal expansion.

This fitting is essential for fabricators and enthusiasts working with 8 AN hose systems common in drag racing, circle track, road racing, and custom hot rod applications. The compact dimensions and universal 8 AN female port compatibility make it a versatile solution for fuel systems, cooling circuits, and brake line routing. Installation is straightforward—simply push the hose onto the barb until fully seated and secure with a hose clamp for maximum reliability. Each fitting is sold individually, allowing builders to purchase only what they need for their specific plumbing layout.
