Hose Fitting #8 Straight Push Lock Black

The FRAGOLA Hose Fitting #8 Straight Push Lock in Black is a precision-engineered hydraulic and fuel line connector designed for high-performance fluid transfer applications. This aluminum fitting features the 8000 Series Push-Lite design, which delivers reliable, leak-free connections in demanding environments where vibration, pressure fluctuations, and thermal cycling are constant factors. The straight configuration with 8 AN hose barb to 8 AN female connection simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with standard aftermarket fluid systems.

The 8 AN size designation indicates this fitting handles flows and pressures typical of performance fuel systems, supercharger cooling circuits, and transmission cooler applications. Black anodized aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance while maintaining lightweight characteristics critical in racing, marine, and high-performance automotive builds. The push-lock mechanism eliminates the need for ferrule-style compression, reducing assembly time and the risk of improper installation. The straight geometry allows direct in-line coupling without directional constraints, making it ideal for tight engine bay configurations or compact plumbing layouts.

This fitting serves users building or maintaining custom fuel systems, intercooler circuits, hydraulic brake lines, or power steering loops. Mechanics and fabricators working on street rods, drag cars, marine engines, and industrial equipment rely on FRAGOLA fittings for repeatability and durability. The modular approach of Push-Lite connectors means replacing or reconfiguring lines requires no special tools, reducing downtime during tuning or repair cycles. Individual fittings like this allow custom system design without committing to pre-assembled line assemblies.

FRAGOLA is recognized in motorsports and performance automotive communities for consistent quality and compatibility across their fitting product range. Buying individual fittings rather than complete assemblies gives builders full control over routing, length, and system architecture—essential when performance-tuning vehicles with non-standard layouts or upgrading existing systems.
