8AN 45 Degree PTFE Reusable Hose End Blue

The 8AN 45 Degree PTFE Reusable Hose End Blue from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE (MPN 1245-08-1) is a precision-engineered fitting designed for high-performance fuel systems, coolant lines, and hydraulic applications in modified vehicles. Built for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand reliability under extreme conditions, this reusable hose end eliminates the need for disposable crimped fittings while maintaining a tight, leak-free seal. The 45-degree angle orientation makes it ideal for tight engine bays where space is limited and routing precision matters.

Constructed with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) core technology, this hose end resists degradation from fuel additives, ethanol blends, and extreme temperature swings common in turbocharged and supercharged applications. The 8AN size accommodates -8 hose, a standard for modern fuel rails and intercooler setups where flow capacity and pressure handling are critical. The reusable design allows you to adjust, reconfigure, or repair your fuel and coolant systems without replacing the entire fitting assembly—a practical advantage during engine bay refinement or mid-build modifications. REDHORSE's precision manufacturing ensures consistent thread engagement and eliminates the guesswork of variable crimp quality.

This fitting is essential for custom fuel system builds, turbo kit installations, radiator upgrades, and any scenario where you need dependable, reusable connections in your plumbing network. The blue anodized finish provides both corrosion resistance and easy visual identification in crowded engine compartments. Mechanics and builders working on LS swaps, modern performance trucks, or track-prepped vehicles will find the 45-degree angle orientation compatible with most aftermarket fuel rails, surge tanks, and distribution blocks, making it a versatile choice for planned or unplanned system modifications.
