#8 60-Deg Crimp Hose Fitting

The #8 60-degree crimp hose fitting from FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered component designed for professionals and serious enthusiasts who are building or modifying fuel systems, brake lines, and custom hydraulic circuits. This fitting type is essential for creating reliable, leak-free connections that can withstand sustained pressure without slippage or vibration-induced failure. Its 60-degree angle geometry allows for compact routing in tight engine bays while maintaining optimal flow characteristics.

FRAGOLA's crimp-style fitting design relies on a mechanical interference fit created by deforming the hose ferrule under controlled pressure, which eliminates the need for threaded connections or O-rings that can degrade over time. The #8 designation refers to a nominal hose size of 1/2 inch, and the 60-degree angled configuration enables multiple fittings to coexist in confined spaces without cross-threading or binding. The compact length and lightweight construction make these fittings ideal for weight-conscious builds.

Mechanics and fabricators favor FRAGOLA crimp fittings for fuel systems, brake lines, and hydraulic applications due to their reliability and performance. The installation of these fittings requires a hydraulic crimper tool, ensuring a secure and durable connection. This makes them suitable for various applications, including high-performance engines and track cars.
