This REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 8AN 180-degree crimp hose end (MPN 7182-08-2) is a permanent-style fitting built for fabricators running rubber or synthetic AN-rated hose on fuel, oil, and coolant systems. The 180-degree bend doubles the line back on itself, which solves tight clearance problems around fuel rails, oil coolers, and pump returns where a straight or 45-degree end won't route cleanly. Crimp ends like this one trade the reusability of a screw-together fitting for a lower profile and a leak path that stays sealed under sustained pressure. It pairs with TSA's broader range of AN fittings.
Crimp hose ends are assembled with a hydraulic crimper to a fixed collar diameter, so the socket compresses evenly around the hose and the fitting cannot back off under vibration the way a worm-clamp connection can. The black anodized finish on this -8AN end resists fuel and oil exposure and matches the rest of a black AN system visually. The 180-degree geometry keeps the hose run compact in cramped engine bays, and the -8 size handles the flow demands of most performance fuel-feed and return lines. Match this end to the correct crimp-style hose rather than push-lock or PTFE line, and verify your crimp die against the collar before committing the assembly. Browse compatible AN hose to complete the build.
Reach for this 180-degree end when a line has to reverse direction in a short span — common on fuel returns, turbo oil drains, and reservoir plumbing where a wide-radius bend would foul nearby components. Because it's a crimp fitting, plan the cut length and routing before you commit, since the connection is permanent once crimped. Builders assembling a full system from scratch will want matching straight and angled ends plus the right hose, all of which sit alongside this part in TSA's fittings, hoses, and valves selection. Check our 8AN straight hose ends for the simpler runs in the same circuit.
It's built for crimp-style AN-rated rubber or synthetic hose sized to -8AN. Crimp ends are matched to a specific hose construction and collar diameter, so confirm you're using crimp hose rather than push-lock or PTFE line, which use different end designs.
No. Crimp hose ends are permanent. Once the socket is compressed with a hydraulic crimper, the fitting stays on the hose. If you want a fitting you can disassemble and re-use, choose a screw-together reusable AN hose end instead.
The 180-degree bend reverses the line back on itself within a short distance. That keeps routing compact in tight engine bays and lets you feed fuel returns, oil drains, and reservoir lines without the wide loop a straight end would force.
An -8AN fitting corresponds to a 1/2-inch nominal line and handles the flow demands of most performance fuel-feed and return circuits. Match the fitting size to your hose and the rest of your AN plumbing for a consistent system.
The black anodized finish resists fuel and oil exposure and gives a uniform look when building an all-black AN system. Functionally it performs the same as other finishes; the choice is largely about corrosion resistance and matching the rest of your fittings.
