#8 45 Deg. Tube Swivel

The #8 45 Deg. Tube Swivel from EARLS is a precision-engineered hose fitting designed for high-performance automotive and motorsport applications where fuel, oil, or coolant lines require directional flexibility. This compact swivel adapter solves a critical problem in engine bay routing: allowing AN hose assemblies to connect at compound angles without kinking, crushing, or placing stress on adjacent components. Whether you're building a custom fuel system, upgrading a race engine's plumbing, or fabricating a complex cooling circuit, the 45-degree angle swivel eliminates the need for multiple elbows and reduces flow turbulence at connection points.

Constructed with EARLS' reputation for quality and reliability, this #8 tube swivel features a precisely machined 45-degree bend that allows hose runs to negotiate tight engine compartments and chassis layouts common in modified and race vehicles. The swivel joint enables 360-degree rotational freedom once tightened, preventing hose twisting and vibration-induced fatigue cracking at the fitting collar. Its compact 4.15-inch overall length and lightweight 0.11-pound design minimize installation interference while maintaining structural integrity under pressure cycling. The tube connection accommodates standard -8 AN hose sizing, which is the industry standard for fuel delivery and coolant circulation in performance applications up to 300+ horsepower builds.

Professional engine builders, fabricators, and automotive enthusiasts rely on EARLS swivel fittings for custom fuel injection systems, turbo oil return lines, and intercooler plumbing where space is limited and hose positioning is critical. This fitting pairs seamlessly with AN-sized hose barbs, compression fittings, and block adapters commonly found in street and race engine bay layouts. Installation requires standard hose clamps or crimp fittings on the tube end and compatible AN threads on the opposite connection point. Verify your system's working pressure rating and ensure all hose routing clears moving engine components before final assembly to guarantee long-term performance and safety.
