#8 X 1/2 Hose Barb Fitting Black

The #8 X 1/2 Hose Barb Fitting Black from FRAGOLA is a precision adapter engineered for high-performance fluid transfer systems in automotive, industrial, and hydraulic applications. This straight adapter connects 8 AN male threads to a 1/2-inch hose barb, making it essential for builders and technicians who need reliable, leak-free connections between hard-line fittings and flexible hose runs. Whether you're assembling fuel systems, coolant circuits, or brake lines, this fitting bridges the gap between two common sizing standards in a single, compact unit.

Constructed from aluminum and finished with black anodizing, this hose barb fitting delivers both durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The barbed end grips hose securely without requiring additional crimping in many applications, while the 8 AN male thread end accepts standard -8 AN connectors with precision machining tolerances. Black anodizing protects against oxidation and wear, extending service life and maintaining a professional appearance in visible engine bays or custom installations. The straight configuration eliminates flow restrictions and simplifies installation in tight spaces where 90-degree or 45-degree adapters won't fit.

This adapter is ideal for custom fuel system builders, race car fabricators, and hydraulic system technicians who demand OEM-quality components at competitive pricing. It pairs seamlessly with 1/2-inch reinforced rubber or silicone hose, and the hose barb design works with standard hose clamps for secure retention. Weighing just 0.05 pounds and measuring 1.4 x 1.15 x 4.2 inches, it installs quickly without adding bulk to engine compartments or under-vehicle spaces. FRAGOLA's reputation for precision ensures compatibility with aftermarket fuel pressure regulators, coolant bypass systems, and transmission cooler lines across domestic and import platforms.
