#8 Str Hose Fitting P/C Crimp-On

The #8 Str Hose Fitting P/C Crimp-On provides a permanent, leak-free connection for high-pressure fluid systems in performance automotive applications. Designed for mechanics and custom builders who demand professional-grade reliability, this Russell component is essential for custom plumbing of oil, fuel, or coolant lines. It serves as a critical link between high-flow 8 AN hose and 8 AN female ports, ensuring total system integrity under the most demanding racing or street conditions. This fitting is an industry standard for those seeking to replace unreliable factory lines with robust aftermarket solutions.

Engineered with lightweight, high-tensile aluminum, this fitting utilizes a crimp-on design that virtually eliminates the risk of hose separation common with traditional twist-on or push-lock ends. The straight configuration allows for a direct, unobstructed path in fluid routing, which is vital for minimizing turbulence and maintaining consistent flow rates throughout the engine bay. Its dual-tone black and silver anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance against harsh fluids while offering a clean, professional appearance that complements any high-end build. This technical design ensures that the fitting can withstand the extreme thermal expansion and contraction cycles seen in performance engines.

This fitting is ideal for use with dedicated shop crimp machines to create factory-quality hose assemblies that meet or exceed OEM specifications for high-performance builds. Automotive enthusiasts looking to buy specifications-compliant plumbing components will find this part compatible with a wide variety of 8 AN braided stainless steel or synthetic rubber hoses. Proper installation requires precise mechanical crimping to ensure the fitting remains permanently secure during the high-pressure cycles and heavy vibrations common in modified vehicles. Whether you are finishing a custom fuel rail setup or an external oil cooler, this Russell fitting provides the professional finish required for safety and longevity.
