Pushlock Hose End Black 45 Deg Elbow -8

The Pushlock Hose End Black 45 Deg Elbow -8 from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision-engineered hydraulic and fuel line fitting designed for serious engine builders, race teams, and custom fabricators who demand reliability under extreme conditions. This 45-degree elbow connector bridges two 8 AN hose lines at an angle, allowing you to route fuel, coolant, or hydraulic fluid around tight engine bays where straight runs are impossible. Whether you're building a high-performance street engine, competition dragster, or custom hot rod, this fitting eliminates the need for custom-bent tubing and reduces connection points that could leak under boost or sustained RPM.

Constructed from lightweight black anodized aluminum, the Pushlock Hose End delivers durability while keeping weight minimal—critical in racing where every tenth of a pound matters. The pushlock barb design creates a secure, reusable connection by friction fit without requiring hose clamps, though many builders add clamps for additional insurance in high-vibration applications. The 45-degree elbow geometry allows smooth fluid flow transitions while the 8 AN sizing (roughly 1/2-inch hose ID) provides ample capacity for fuel delivery systems, coolant bypasses, or brake fluid lines in modified vehicles. Black anodized finish resists corrosion and blends seamlessly into modern engine compartments.

Professional mechanics and engine builders favor this fitting for turbo and supercharger installations, custom cooling system layouts, and fuel system upgrades on both carbureted and EFI platforms. The compact dimensions (4 x 0.95 x 6.95 inches) fit tight engine bays where space is at a premium, and the lightweight construction (0.11 lbs) makes it ideal for weight-sensitive builds. Installation is straightforward: push the hose onto the barb until it seats fully, then verify the connection is secure before pressurizing the system. Compatible with standard -8 AN hoses and fittings, this elbow integrates seamlessly into existing hydraulic and fuel system architectures.
