Hose Fitting #10 Str Push Lock

The Hose Fitting #10 Str Push Lock from FRAGOLA is a straight 10 AN hose barb connector engineered for high-performance fuel and fluid systems in custom automotive builds. This fitting serves as a critical junction point in fuel injection systems, nitrous oxide delivery lines, and hydraulic brake applications where reliable, vibration-resistant connections are non-negotiable. Mechanics and performance enthusiasts rely on push-lock fittings like this to eliminate the risk of hose separation under pressure spikes and engine vibration—a common failure point in turbocharged and supercharged platforms.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodize, this fitting features FRAGOLA's 8000 Series Push-Lite design, which uses a tapered hose barb that locks securely without clamps or secondary fasteners. The 10 AN (AN10) female port accepts standard 10 AN hose, while the barbed male end creates a mechanical lock that tightens as hose is slid over the barb under pressure. Blue anodizing provides corrosion resistance against fuel vapors, coolant splash, and salt-air environments—essential for long-term reliability in engine bays and fuel cell installations. The straight configuration allows direct flow without directional restrictions, making it ideal for inline fuel rails, cooler lines, and brake distribution blocks.

Performance shops and engine builders specify this fitting for EFI fuel systems, turbocharged builds, and custom cooling circuits where hose separation could cause catastrophic engine damage or loss of hydraulic braking. Installation requires only pushing hose over the barb until seated—no wrenches or crimping tools needed—making it a popular choice for rapid system assembly and troubleshooting. The lightweight aluminum construction (0.07 lbs) minimizes vibration transmission, while the 10 AN size accommodates flow rates typical of fuel-injected V8s and turbo four-cylinder platforms without pressure loss. Ensure hose is cut cleanly and fully seated on the barb for maximum clamp force and leak-free operation.
