#8 45 Deg Hose End

The #8 45 Degree Hose End fitting is a full-flow aluminum connector designed for high-performance hydraulic and fluid transfer systems. This 45-degree angled hose end accepts 8 AN hose on one end and terminates with an 8 AN female port, enabling efficient power steering, fuel, and brake line configurations in race cars, performance vehicles, and hydraulic equipment. The blue and red anodized aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance while maintaining the lightweight properties critical in motorsports and off-road applications.

The 45-degree angle reduces turbulence and pressure loss compared to 90-degree fittings, a key consideration when routing hoses through tight engine bays or chassis configurations. Full-flow design ensures minimal restriction to fluid delivery, essential for maintaining system pressure and response in high-demand applications. The anodized finish—available in both blue and red color options—indicates the aluminum alloy has been hardened through anodic oxidation, extending service life in corrosive environments such as salt-air coastal regions or vehicles exposed to harsh cleaning chemicals. Each fitting ships as a single unit, allowing builders and technicians to source exactly the quantity needed for their specific plumbing layout.

This fitting suits custom fabricators, drag racing teams, street rod builders, and anyone assembling or upgrading hydraulic systems where precision hose routing is required. The 8 AN (AN8) size—representing 1/2-inch nominal diameter—is a standard sizing in performance and motorsport applications, making this fitting compatible with existing AN hose inventory. Whether upgrading power steering components, building a fuel system, or assembling brake lines for a track vehicle, the 45-degree angle and full-flow design deliver the flexibility and performance characteristics demanded by serious enthusiasts.
