#8 Ultra Pro Hose End 90-Degree - Black

The #8 Ultra Pro Hose End 90-Degree in black anodized aluminum is a precision fitting designed for high-performance fuel, coolant, and hydraulic systems in modified vehicles and racing applications. This AN (Army-Navy) standard connector terminates 8 AN hose with a compact 90-degree angle, making it essential for tight engine bays where direct routing would require excessive bends or pressure loss. Whether you're building a custom fuel system for a turbocharged engine, upgrading coolant lines on a street rod, or assembling a competition fuel cell setup, this hose end delivers the reliability and leak-free performance that serious builders expect.

Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with hard black anodizing, the Ultra Pro design minimizes fluid turbulence and vibration-induced fatigue at the crimp point. The 90-degree configuration eliminates the need for multiple elbows, reducing overall system complexity and potential leak points while maintaining full flow capacity. The AN8 standard ensures compatibility with industry-standard hose crimpers and swaging equipment, and the reinforced sealing surface accommodates both -8 JIC (37-degree) and straight-thread adapters. Black anodized finish provides corrosion resistance in engine bay environments where temperature cycling and moisture exposure challenge lesser materials.

This fitting suits builders installing fuel injection systems, aftermarket radiator setups, power steering upgrades, or turbo intercooler plumbing on street cars and race vehicles alike. Installation requires proper 8 AN hose (typically 1/2-inch ID), a quality crimper, and precise sizing to avoid over-compression. The compact 3.4 x 1 x 3.85 inch profile makes it ideal for engine bay packaging constraints where space is limited and every inch counts. Individual unit allows customization of your complete hose line without purchasing complete kits.
