#8 45 Stl Swivel (Teflon

The #8 45 Stl Swivel (Teflon) from AEROQUIP is a high-performance 45-degree hose end fitting engineered for racing and high-flow fuel system applications. Designed for builders and mechanics working with 8 AN plumbing, this swivel fitting connects 8 AN hose to 8 AN female ports while allowing rotational adjustment—a critical feature when routing fuel lines through tight engine bays or custom chassis layouts. Whether you're assembling a fuel cell system, upgrading a performance carburetor feed line, or installing auxiliary fuel delivery on a modified engine, this fitting eliminates binding stress during installation and operation.

Constructed from steel with PTFE (Teflon) lining, the #8 45 Stl Swivel (Teflon) resists corrosion and handles aggressive fuels, alcohol blends, and racing methanol without degradation. The 45-degree angle reduces overall line run length and improves packaging efficiency—essential when space is limited in supercharged or turbocharged engine bays. AEROQUIP's reputation for reliability in motorsports means this fitting meets strict flow requirements and pressure tolerances; the swivel joint pivots smoothly under vibration without leaking, a characteristic that separates premium fittings from budget alternatives. The natural steel finish and compact 0.27 lb weight integrate seamlessly into any fuel system architecture.

Mechanics and fabricators restoring classic muscle cars, building drag racing fuel systems, or upgrading street performance machines rely on AEROQUIP swivel fittings to simplify plumbing while maintaining system integrity. The 45-degree geometry works in tandem with standard 8 AN hose and adapters, making it a direct replacement in existing fuel systems or a foundational component in new builds. Installation is straightforward: thread the female end into your fuel block, rail, or carb inlet, connect certified 8 AN hose with appropriate crimped AN ends, and hand-tighten the swivel to allow free rotation before securing the line clamps. This fitting pairs perfectly with fuel pressure regulators, surge tanks, and EFI fuel rails, and its compatibility with both carburetor and EFI systems makes it indispensable for any serious performance project.
