Proflex SS Braided Hose #8 x 20'

The Proflex SS Braided Hose #8 x 20' from RUSSELL is a professional-grade hydraulic and fuel line assembly engineered for high-performance automotive, motorsport, and industrial applications. Constructed with braided stainless steel outer protection and synthetic rubber inner core, this hose delivers reliable fluid transfer in demanding environments where vibration, heat, and pressure fluctuations are constant factors. Whether you're building a custom engine bay, upgrading fuel delivery systems, or maintaining heavy equipment, this 20-foot length provides substantial reach for complex routing requirements.

The #8 AN (Army-Navy) size designation indicates compatibility with standard 1/2-inch JIC port specifications, making this hose suitable for mid-to-high flow applications requiring precision fitment. The braided stainless steel construction resists corrosion, abrasion, and external damage while maintaining structural integrity under sustained pressure cycles. The natural rubber core is formulated to resist fuel, hydraulic fluid, and coolant degradation, ensuring longevity in diverse chemical environments. At 3.84 lbs, the hose balances durability with manageable weight, critical for suspension and brake line installations where unsprung mass affects performance.

This assembly is ideal for fabricators, professional mechanics, and motorsport enthusiasts upgrading fuel systems, brake circuits, and power steering lines in street rods, race vehicles, and high-performance builds. The 20-foot length accommodates complex engine bay layouts and drop tank installations without requiring mid-line connectors. Installation requires standard AN hose crimpers and JIC-compatible fittings (sold separately), and proper sizing prevents flow restriction while maintaining safe working pressures. Verify port thread specifications and hose routing clearances before final assembly to ensure optimal system performance.
