Hose Fitting #8 180 Deg Push Lock

The Hose Fitting #8 180 Deg Push Lock from FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered hydraulic hose adapter built for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant line applications in custom vehicles and racing engines. Designed for mechanics and enthusiasts who demand reliability under extreme conditions, this 8 AN (AN8) fitting eliminates the need for traditional hose clamps and provides a secure, leak-free connection that holds up to vibration and pressure cycling. Whether you're fabricating a custom fuel system, upgrading your engine bay plumbing, or building a race car, this push-lock technology delivers the clean, professional aesthetics and dependable performance serious builders expect.

This fitting features a 180-degree configuration that routes hoses away from hot engine components and tight spaces, making it ideal for compact engine bays and complex plumbing layouts. Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, the hose fitting resists corrosion while maintaining lightweight properties critical for performance builds. The push-lock barb design grips the hose securely without crushing or weakening the material—a key advantage over clamp-style fittings that can damage hose integrity over time. The 8 AN barb-to-female connection accepts standard -8 AN hose, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard fuel line, coolant, and breather components throughout your system.

Mechanics, engine builders, and weekend fabricators benefit most from FRAGOLA's push-lock fittings when assembling custom fuel systems, turbo setups, water cooling loops, and transmission cooler lines. Installation requires no special tools—simply slide the hose onto the barb and lock it in place—making field repairs and system modifications straightforward. This single fitting weighs just 0.05 lbs, keeping your build lightweight while the blue anodized finish coordinates with other performance components for a cohesive engine bay appearance. Verify hose inner diameter compatibility and rated pressure specifications for your application to ensure optimal performance and safety in your build.
