8AN PTFE Hose Ends Black STR

The 8AN PTFE Hose Ends Black STR by REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is a precision straight hose fitting engineered for high-pressure fluid systems in performance vehicles, racing applications, and custom hydraulic builds. This fitting serves as the critical connection point between PTFE braided hose lines and female AN ports, eliminating leaks and ensuring system integrity under demanding conditions. Whether you're plumbing a fuel system, cooling circuit, or brake line assembly, this straight-configuration hose end delivers reliable, leak-free performance in environments where standard rubber hose fittings would fail.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the 8AN PTFE hose end features a swivel design that allows hose rotation during installation and maintenance, reducing strain on connections and preventing cross-threading. The straight configuration (STR) orients flow directly in-line with the hose axis, making it ideal for compact engine bays and tight routing scenarios. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) hose compatibility ensures chemical resistance and reliable sealing across fuel, coolant, and brake fluid applications. The 1200 Series specification indicates this fitting meets established AN (Army-Navy) standards for pressure ratings and dimensional consistency, guaranteeing compatibility with industry-standard hoses and adapters.

Performance enthusiasts, race teams, and custom fabricators benefit most from this hose end when assembling or repairing high-performance fuel systems, turbo plumbing, or hydraulic assemblies. The black anodized finish resists corrosion in engine compartment environments and complements modern automotive aesthetics. Installation requires matching 8 AN PTFE hose and 8 AN female port threads; the swivel feature allows final positioning without over-tightening. Each unit ships individually, allowing you to build custom fluid system configurations with precision control over every connection point.
