8AN Swivel Hose Ends Black 180

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 8AN Swivel Hose Ends Black 180 Degree fitting is a precision aluminum hose end connector engineered for high-performance hydraulic and fuel line applications. This 180-degree swivel design allows flexible routing in tight engine bay configurations, adapting 8 AN hose directly to 8 AN female ports while eliminating kinks and stress points that compromise system integrity.

Constructed from black anodized aluminum, this fitting delivers lightweight durability with corrosion resistance essential for marine, racing, and off-road environments. The 180-degree swivel geometry is critical in applications where space constraints prevent straight hose runs—particularly in fuel injection systems, cooling loops, and transmission cooler lines where directional changes would otherwise require multiple fittings and extended hose lengths. The swivel action accommodates vibration and thermal expansion without inducing fatigue on the connection point, extending system service life.

This fitting serves builders and technicians working on LS-based engines, vintage hot rods, supercharged platforms, and custom marine powerplants where tight plumbing and performance reliability are non-negotiable. The 8 AN size handles flow demands of modern fuel delivery and cooling systems while maintaining minimal pressure drop. Individual sale format allows incremental assembly without excess inventory—ideal for custom fabrication projects where fitment must be verified during chassis mock-up.

REDHORSE Performance is recognized among engine builders and hydraulic specialists for maintaining tight tolerances and consistent anodize quality across their hose end catalog. The 1180 series represents their standard 180-degree design, trusted in competition fuel systems and high-reliability applications where fitting failure creates catastrophic consequences.
