#8 45 Degree Auto-Fit

The EARLS #8 45 Degree Auto-Fit hose end fitting is a precision-engineered component designed for high-performance fuel, coolant, and fluid line installations in motorsports and modified vehicles. Built for builders and mechanics who demand reliability under pressure, this 8 AN hose-to-female connection delivers the versatility of a swivel design without the complexity of field assembly. Whether you're routing custom fuel systems in a race engine, upgrading cooling circuits on a turbocharged platform, or constructing a competition-grade power steering setup, this auto-fit coupling eliminates guesswork and installation stress.

Manufactured by EARLS, a trusted name in motorsports plumbing, the #8 45 Degree Auto-Fit features aluminum construction with blue and red anodized finish that resists corrosion while providing visual identification in complex engine bays. The 45-degree orientation allows flexible routing around engine components, intake manifolds, and firewall constraints—a critical advantage in tight custom installations where straight or 90-degree fittings would require additional adapters or rerouting. The auto-fit mechanism means the hose end slides and seats with self-centering geometry, reducing the risk of cross-threading and ensuring consistent, leak-free connections even after multiple connect-disconnect cycles common in shop environments and rebuild scenarios.

This fitting excels in applications requiring an 8 AN hose-to-8 AN female port configuration, making it compatible with most aftermarket fuel rails, remote oil cooler mounts, transmission cooler circuits, and modular radiator setups. Weighing just 0.09 lbs, it introduces negligible mass while delivering durability in high-vibration environments. Professional mechanics and enthusiasts building custom fuel injection systems, wet-sump conversions, and standalone cooling systems rely on EARLS auto-fit technology to reduce labor time and eliminate custom-fabrication delays. Sold individually for point applications or bulk sourcing for complete system builds.
