Hose Fitting #8 90 Deg PTFE Black

The Hose Fitting #8 90 Deg PTFE Black from FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered hydraulic and fuel line connector designed for high-performance applications where reliability and durability are non-negotiable. This 90-degree angle fitting accommodates 8 AN hose and female connections, making it an essential component for custom fuel systems, hydraulic brake installations, and transmission cooler setups in race cars, hot rods, and performance street machines. The 90-degree geometry allows tight routing around engine bays and tight spaces where straight fittings cannot fit, reducing installation complexity and improving overall system layout efficiency.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting provides excellent corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that complements modern engine bay aesthetics. The PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) hose compatibility ensures superior chemical resistance and temperature stability across a wide operating range, critical for fuel and hydraulic applications. Black anodized aluminum construction offers lightweight strength while the anodized finish protects against oxidation and extends service life in demanding under-hood environments. The 8 AN sizing (1/2-inch nominal) is industry-standard for serious performance work, providing adequate flow capacity for fuel injection, forced induction cooling, and brake system upgrades without excessive pressure drop.

Engine builders, fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts benefit most from this fitting when assembling custom fuel systems or retrofitting hydraulic components on vintage restorations and modern performance builds. Installation requires standard hose crimping equipment and proper 8 AN hose prep; the 90-degree angle is fixed, so orientation must be planned during system layout. This fitting pairs seamlessly with FRAGOLA hose ends, adapters, and manifold blocks, allowing complete system customization for drag racing, road course competition, or street performance applications where OEM fuel and hydraulic routing proves inadequate.
