8AN Push Lock Hose End Str Blue

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 8AN Push Lock Hose End Straight is a precision-engineered fluid line adapter designed for high-pressure applications requiring reliable, leak-free connections. This 8 AN PTFE hose fitting accommodates 8 AN female inlet connections with a swivel design, enabling proper alignment during installation while minimizing hose stress. The straight configuration makes it ideal for tight engine bays and applications where space constraints demand direct axial routing.

Constructed from aluminum with blue and red anodized finishing, this fitting delivers both durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The 2000 series push-lock design eliminates the need for traditional hose clamps, providing a secure grip on PTFE hose with consistent clamping force across thermal cycles. The swivel ferrule accommodates minor misalignment and reduces installation torque requirements compared to fixed fittings, a critical advantage when working in confined spaces where wrench access is limited.

This connector suits motorsports fuel systems, custom cooling circuits, and performance hydraulic applications where AN-series hose standards are specified. The swivel feature is particularly valued in drag racing, off-road, and marine environments where vibration and thermal expansion can stress rigid connections. Sold individually, this fitting pairs with compatible PTFE braided hose in AN8 size to complete fuel, coolant, or brake line assemblies.

AN-series fittings have become the performance standard across motorsports because they deliver predictable pressure ratings, standardized thread pitches, and proven reliability across temperature extremes. The 8AN size accommodates flow rates suitable for moderate displacement engines and secondary cooling loops, making it one of the most versatile sizes in the AN product line for both street and competition builds.
