#8 45 Degree Hose End Swivel

The #8 45 Degree Hose End Swivel by AEROQUIP is a crucial component for fuel systems, hydraulic lines, and fluid transfer applications in high-performance vehicles and custom engine builds. This fitting is designed for mechanics and enthusiasts who require reliability under pressure, particularly in tight engine bay layouts where rigid hose runs are impractical.

The 45-degree angle of the swivel fitting helps to eliminate stress concentrations at connection points, reducing the risk of vibration-induced failures and extending the lifespan of the system. AEROQUIP's precision-machined body allows for full 360-degree rotation at the hose terminus, preventing wear on braided hose jackets and internal reinforcement layers.

Builders and restoration specialists favor AEROQUIP swivel ends for EFI fuel systems, vintage drag racing platforms, and LS-series engine conversions, where space constraints necessitate compact and efficient plumbing solutions. The #8 size designation corresponds to -8 AN (Army Navy) port sizing, a standard in performance automotive applications for fuel delivery and coolant routing.
