#8 Crimp Collar 6pk

The #8 Crimp Collar 6pk is an essential fluid-line component for any serious custom automotive builder or performance enthusiast working with hose and brake system modifications. These aluminum crimp collars are designed to secure and seal AN hose fittings in high-pressure applications, making them indispensable for fuel system plumbing, hydraulic brake upgrades, and coolant circuit customization. Russell's reputation for precision engineering means these collars meet strict OEM tolerances, ensuring leak-free connections on everything from street rods to track-focused race cars.

Each #8 AN crimp collar in this six-piece set is manufactured from aluminum and finished in natural (bare) form, allowing for direct integration into existing plumbing systems without coating interference. The crimp design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant connection when used with proper hose crimping equipment and the corresponding #8 AN hose barb or bulkhead fitting. Natural aluminum construction provides excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance in standard automotive environments, though anodized or nickel-plated alternatives are available for systems exposed to salt spray or extreme conditions. The compact 2.7 x 1.85 x 5-inch package keeps your workbench organized while providing six collars—enough for a complete fuel system retrofit or multiple brake circuit installations.

Mechanics and fabricators specializing in custom fuel injection upgrades, turbo plumbing, and modern brake system conversions rely on Russell crimp collars to achieve professional-grade results. These collars are compatible with all standard #8 AN hose barbs, fittings, and bulkhead adapters commonly found in performance applications. Installation requires a dedicated hose crimper tool calibrated for #8 AN sizes; improper crimping can compromise system integrity and create dangerous leaks. Whether you're upgrading a vintage restoration project or building a new performance platform, the #8 Crimp Collar 6pk delivers the reliability and consistency that separates quality fabrication from roadside failures.
