8AN PTFE Hose Ends Black 180

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 8AN PTFE Hose Ends Black 180 Degree fitting is a precision-engineered hydraulic hose connector designed for high-performance fluid transfer systems in racing, custom automotive, and industrial applications. This 180-degree swivel fitting accommodates 8 AN PTFE hose with a 8 AN female connection, enabling sharp-angle routing in tight engine bay or equipment spaces where standard 90-degree fittings cannot fit.

Constructed from black anodized aluminum, the 1280 series fitting delivers lightweight strength while resisting corrosion in harsh under-hood and marine environments. The swivel design reduces hose twisting and fatigue during thermal cycling, extending hose line life in systems subjected to repeated pressure fluctuations. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) hose compatibility ensures broad chemical compatibility and consistent performance across fuel, coolant, brake, and other hydraulic applications where standard rubber lines are inadequate.

This fitting is essential for builders and technicians assembling custom high-performance systems, vintage restorations, and competitive race vehicles where hose routing constraints demand extreme-angle connections. The 8 AN size handles flow volumes typical of fuel injection systems, transmission coolers, and brake proportioning circuits. Each hose end is sold individually, allowing builders to configure complete line assemblies with matching components.

REDHORSE Performance fittings are manufactured to SAE J518 standards and widely used in motorsports and aftermarket hydraulic applications where reliability under pressure and vibration is non-negotiable.
