Hose Fitting #8 Straight Push Lock

The Hose Fitting #8 Straight Push Lock from FRAGOLA is a precision aluminum hose end connector engineered for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant systems in street rods, racing applications, and custom engine builds. This fitting serves as the critical interface between your fuel line and carburetor, fuel injection system, or transmission cooler, eliminating leaks that compromise engine reliability and safety. Built for enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand dependable, leak-free connections under pressure, the Hose Fitting #8 Straight Push Lock is an essential component for any serious automotive modification project.

This straight-configuration fitting features the Push-Lite connection system, which employs a push-lock barb design that creates a sealed, vibration-resistant joint without requiring traditional hose clamps. The 8 AN (AN8) port size accommodates 8 AN hose, a standard bore diameter of 1/2 inch commonly used in moderate-to-high-flow fuel and coolant circuits. The aluminum construction with blue anodized finish provides corrosion resistance while keeping weight minimal—critical for performance builds where every pound matters. The female port threads accept standard 8 AN male fittings, offering versatility for connecting to fuel pressure gauges, regulators, distribution blocks, and adapter manifolds typical in carbureted and fuel-injected systems.

Mechanics and hot rodders rely on FRAGOLA's Hose Fitting #8 Straight Push Lock when constructing or upgrading fuel delivery systems on small-block and big-block engines, LS swaps, and vintage restorations requiring modern reliability standards. The straight configuration (versus 45° or 90° elbows) is ideal for direct, inline connections where space permits or when connecting fuel rails, manifold blocks, and remote fuel filters in engine bays with tight component packaging. Installation requires only pushing the 8 AN hose onto the barb—no tools, crimping, or clamps necessary—making this fitting a time-saving choice for both professional shops and home garage builds. Ensure your hose meets AN8 specifications and maintain proper fuel system pressure ratings for optimal performance and safety.
