8AN Push Lock Hose End Blue 45-Deg

The 8AN Push Lock Hose End Blue 45-Deg by Redhorse Performance is a precision-engineered fitting designed for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant line systems in modified vehicles and racing applications. This 45-degree angle hose end serves mechanics, engine builders, and automotive enthusiasts who demand reliability in custom fuel systems, turbo setups, and engine bay plumbing where space constraints or routing efficiency require angled connections.

The push-lock design eliminates the need for clamps or crimping, making installation faster and cleaner while maintaining a secure, leak-free seal under pressure. The 8AN Push Lock mechanism relies on a dual-seal system with a spring-loaded internal collet that grips the hose barb without requiring tools, delivering consistent clamping force across repeated connect/disconnect cycles common in development work or swaps.

Engine builders upgrading fuel systems for forced-induction engines, EFI conversions, and high-flow cooling applications will find this fitting indispensable for compact routing in modified engine bays. The blue anodized aluminum body provides corrosion resistance and visual identification of AN size, critical in complex custom fuel systems where correct sizing prevents pressure drops and ensures proper regulator function.
