#8 45 Deg Ano-Tuff Hose End

The EARLS #8 45 Deg Ano-Tuff Hose End is a precision hydraulic fitting engineered for high-performance fuel and coolant line systems in modified vehicles, race cars, and custom engine builds. Designed for technicians and enthusiasts who demand leak-free, reliable connections under extreme pressure and temperature cycling, this 8 AN swivel-seal fitting delivers the durability required in turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated applications where stock rubber hoses fall short. Whether you're upgrading a fuel delivery system on a track car or routing coolant through a custom loop, this hose end provides the structural integrity and adjustability that separates professional-grade installations from amateur work.

Built from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the #8 45 Deg Ano-Tuff Hose End features a 45-degree angle orientation that optimizes routing flexibility in tight engine bays and minimizes stress on braided hose assemblies during assembly and vibration cycles. The swivel-seal design allows the 8 AN hose to rotate freely within the fitting's female swivel port, preventing hose rotation and twisting that can weaken connections or damage nearby components—a critical advantage when working with stainless steel braided lines in confined spaces. The Ano-Tuff anodizing process provides superior corrosion resistance and maintains structural hardness under sustained vibration, heat cycling, and exposure to fuel, coolant, and oil vapors common in engine compartments.

This fitting is ideal for anyone fabricating custom fuel rails, coolant bypass systems, or intercooler piping on carbureted, EFI, or naturally aspirated engines where AN hose standards are preferred over automotive quick-disconnects. The 45-degree configuration suits applications requiring angled port placement, such as connecting external fuel pressure regulators, oil coolers, or transmission coolers without forcing awkward hose runs. Installation pairs seamlessly with 8 AN braided hose and compatible EARLS fittings, and the compact 1.55 x 1.05 x 3.7-inch profile ensures it fits tight engine bays on trucks, sports cars, and custom builds where every inch of space counts.
