#8 Str Startlite Crimp Fitting

The #8 Str Startlite Crimp Fitting from AEROQUIP is a precision-engineered hose end connector designed for high-performance automotive hydraulic and fuel line systems. Built for mechanics and fabricators who demand reliability under demanding conditions, this straight AN fitting serves as the critical link between your custom hose assembly and swivel port connections. Whether you're building a race-ready fuel system, upgrading brake lines on a modified vehicle, or assembling a custom hydraulic circuit, this fitting delivers the leak-free performance that separates professional installations from amateur work.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum with a red and silver finish for easy identification in complex plumbing layouts, the #8 Str Startlite Crimp Fitting features a straight configuration that minimizes turbulence and pressure drop in fuel and fluid delivery systems. The crimp design ensures a permanent, vibration-resistant connection when properly installed with appropriate AN crimping equipment—eliminating the risk of loosening that can plague threaded fittings on high-vibration platforms. The 8 AN female swivel port accepts standard -8 AN hose assemblies and provides directional flexibility, allowing you to optimize line routing without kinks or stress points that compromise system integrity.

This fitting is ideal for street performance builds, drag racing fuel systems, custom cooling circuits, and any application where precision fluid delivery matters. Experienced fabricators prefer AEROQUIP Startlite fittings for their consistent wall thickness and swaging accuracy, which ensures zero leakage at peak operating pressures. Compatible with any -8 AN hose assembly and designed to integrate seamlessly into modular plumbing systems, the #8 Str Startlite Crimp Fitting gives you the OEM-quality connection point your build deserves without the OEM price tag.
