#8 Race Rite Hose End Fitting Straight

The #8 Race Rite Hose End Fitting Straight from FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic and fuel line connector engineered for high-performance racing and custom automotive applications. This straight hose end fitting serves as a critical interface between braided hose lines and threaded ports, designed for builders and enthusiasts who demand reliable, leak-free connections under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Whether you're assembling a fuel system, brake line, or coolant circuit, this fitting ensures secure attachment with minimal installation complexity.

Constructed from black anodized aluminum, the Race Rite fitting features a swivel design that simplifies alignment during installation and reduces stress on hose assemblies. The straight configuration accepts an 8 AN (JIC) hose barb on one end and an 8 AN female port on the other, providing a direct, no-bend connection path. FRAGOLA's Race-Rite line is specifically formulated for PTFE-lined hose compatibility, delivering superior corrosion resistance and durability across automotive, marine, and motorsport environments. The compact 3.95-inch length and lightweight 0.13-pound construction make it ideal for tight engine bays and custom installations.

This fitting is essential for drag racing, street performance, and vintage restoration projects where OEM connectors are inadequate or unavailable. The swivel feature eliminates the need for secondary wrenches during final torque, reducing installation time and the risk of hose kinking. The black anodized finish resists oxidation and integrates seamlessly into modern engine bay aesthetics. Installation requires standard line wrenches and basic mechanical knowledge; compatibility with all 8 AN braided hose assemblies and female port configurations ensures versatility across multiple platform builds.
