#8 90 Deg Hose Fitting P/C Crimp-On

The Russell #8 90 Degree Hose Fitting P/C Crimp-On (MPN 610543) is a precision-engineered aluminum hose connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fuel line applications in performance automotive builds. This 90-degree fitting accepts #8 AN hose crimped ends and terminates in an #8 AN female port, making it essential for routing fuel lines, coolant lines, and brake fluid systems in tight engine compartments where straight routing isn't practical or efficient.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black/silver anodized coating, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance critical in underhood environments subject to temperature cycling, moisture, and chemical exposure. The crimp-on design eliminates the need for thread-seal tape or pipe thread sealant, providing a permanent connection once properly crimped with appropriate hose crimping equipment. The 90-degree bend angle allows fluid to change direction while maintaining pressure integrity—a key requirement when integrating aftermarket fuel systems, custom coolant circuits, or modified brake line layouts that demand precise routing around engine bay obstacles.

This fitting suits engine builders, fuel system fabricators, and enthusiasts performing custom hydraulic installations on race vehicles, street performance builds, and off-road platforms. It's particularly valuable when integrating aftermarket fuel rails, turbocharger cooling systems, or custom brake bias proportioning valves that require space-efficient plumbing solutions. The #8 AN size handles flows typical of modified fuel injection systems and secondary cooling circuits without unnecessary pressure drop.

Russell (ProStar) is recognized in the automotive performance community for manufacturing reliable aluminum fittings that withstand repeated thermal and pressure cycling in demanding engine applications. When sourcing 90-degree AN fittings for professional or serious enthusiast builds, proper crimp-on construction and material quality determine system longevity and safety—factors that drive specification of established OEM-trusted suppliers.
