#8 Male Tee w/1/8 FPT Port - Black

The #8 Male Tee with 1/8 FPT Port in Black from FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic fitting engineered for professional-grade fuel systems, coolant circuits, and brake line applications in high-performance vehicles and custom engine builds. This tee fitting serves as a critical junction point in fluid distribution networks, allowing pressurized lines to split into multiple directions while maintaining system integrity and flow efficiency. Whether you're assembling a fuel injection system, remote oil filter setup, or intercooler cooling loop on a turbocharged engine, this compact fitting delivers the reliability demanded by serious automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics.

FRAGOLA fittings are manufactured to SAE standards with consistent thread geometry and internal bore smoothness that minimizes turbulence and pressure drop across the junction. The #8 male designation indicates a 1/2-inch SAE hose port size—a standard in domestic and import performance applications—while the 1/8 inch FPT (Female Pipe Thread) auxiliary port accommodates gauges, sensors, or auxiliary line feeds without requiring adapter stacks. Black anodized or powder-coated finishes resist corrosion in engine bays exposed to moisture, salt, and thermal cycling, extending service life in aggressive environments. The lightweight design (0.1 lbs) reduces unsprung mass in fuel and cooling systems, making it ideal for weight-conscious builds, race platforms, and restomods where every fraction matters.

This fitting is indispensable for custom fuel injection retrofits, forced induction cooling circuits, remote-mounted fuel pressure regulators, and sensor/gauge integration in engine bays where OEM port locations don't align with aftermarket component placement. Fabricators and engine builders rely on FRAGOLA tee configurations to consolidate flow paths and reduce clutter in cramped engine compartments while maintaining code-compliant system pressures. Ensure hose sizing matches #8 SAE specifications (typically 1/2-inch ID hose) and verify that system pressure ratings do not exceed the fitting's design limits—FRAGOLA fittings are rated for high-pressure applications but always confirm load specifications for your intended use, whether street fuel system, race fuel cell feed, or custom coolant distribution.
