#8 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End 90-Degree

The #8 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End 90-Degree by FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting designed for high-performance automotive fuel, oil, and coolant systems. Built for professional mechanics and serious enthusiasts who demand reliability in racing, street rod, and modified vehicle applications, this 90-degree hose end allows you to route lines around tight engine compartments without kinks or flow restrictions. The crimp-on design eliminates loose fittings and vibration-induced leaks that plague reusable push-on connectors, making it the preferred choice for turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated builds where system integrity is non-negotiable.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting features dual 8 AN connections—crimp-on to your hose and female receiver port to your fuel rail, cooler, or radiator. The 90-degree angle geometry reduces pressure loss at bends while the permanent crimp connection distributes load evenly across the hose, preventing stress concentration that causes blowouts under boost or high sustained RPM. Aluminum construction keeps weight low—critical for racing setups—while anodized finish resists corrosion from fuel additives, oil vapor, and road salt, ensuring longevity in both street and track environments.

This fitting serves engine builders, tuners, and DIY fabricators assembling custom fuel systems, auxiliary oil cooler circuits, and complex coolant plumbing on LS engines, small-block Chevys, Fords, and import platforms. Installation requires a proper hose crimper and 8 AN braided stainless hose; sizing, length, and pressure rating depend on your specific system demands. Compatible with any 8 AN female component, it pairs seamlessly with fuel cells, carburetors, carb spacer blocks, remote filters, and transmission coolers—making it indispensable for any vehicle where factory line routing won't work.
