#8 X 1/2 Hose Barb Fitting

The #8 X 1/2 Hose Barb Fitting from FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic adapter designed to connect 8 AN (AN8) male ports to 1/2-inch hose barb outlets. This straight adapter serves high-pressure fluid transfer applications across automotive, industrial, and motorsports systems where reliable hose connections are critical. The adapter eliminates the need for separate compression fittings, reducing potential leak points and streamlining installation on fuel, coolant, brake, and custom fluid lines.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished with blue anodized coating, this fitting delivers excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight durability in demanding environments. The blue anodize protects against oxidation while providing visual identification for AN8 connections in color-coded systems. The straight geometry allows in-line hose connections without angular offset, simplifying routing in confined engine bays or custom installations. FRAGOLA's precision engineering ensures tight tolerances and leak-free performance under sustained pressure cycles.

Professionals and enthusiasts building or servicing performance fuel systems, cooling circuits, and hydraulic assemblies rely on this adapter for its compatibility with standard 1/2-inch hose barbs and AN8 male threaded ports. Installation requires hose clamps rated for your system pressure; the barb design prevents hose slippage under vibration. This single-unit fitting is ideal for point-to-point connections where AN-to-barb transitions are necessary, particularly in race-prepped vehicles, marine engines, and industrial equipment requiring modular fluid routing.
