8an 60-Deg HS-79 Hose End

The XRP-Xtreme Racing Products 8 AN 60-Degree HS-79 Hose End is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting designed for high-flow applications requiring reliable, leak-free connections. This 8 AN crimp-style hose end features a 60-degree bent configuration and aluminum construction with black anodized finish, making it ideal for marine engine cooling systems, fuel distribution lines, and performance fluid transfer applications where compact routing and corrosion resistance are critical.

The 60-degree angle allows tight bends in confined engine compartments while maintaining full flow capacity. The 8 AN designation indicates a -8 sized hose end, compatible with standard 8 AN hoses and 8 AN female ports. Black anodized aluminum resists salt-air corrosion and UV degradation, essential for marine environments where standard steel fittings fail rapidly. The crimp-style connection requires proper tooling but delivers a permanent, vibration-resistant seal that outperforms reusable push-to-connect alternatives in high-pressure or high-temperature scenarios.

This fitting serves marine mechanics, performance boating enthusiasts, and engine builders working with custom cooling and fuel system layouts. The angled configuration is particularly valuable in tight bilge spaces where straight hose runs are impossible. Single-unit packaging allows buyers to source exact quantities needed for their specific plumbing design, whether replacing a failed OEM fitting or building a custom marine propulsion system.

XRP Xtreme Racing Products is known for manufacturing aviation-grade and motorsport-grade fittings that exceed standard SAE requirements. The HS-79 series represents the brand's marine-duty line, engineered to handle salt environments and continuous high-flow demand. When specifying hose ends for serious marine applications, the degree angle, material composition, and anodize finish are the critical specifications—not just thread size.
