Reusable Hose End Black 45 Deg Elbow -8

The Reusable Hose End Black 45 Deg Elbow -8 from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a critical fluid-routing component designed for custom automotive builds, performance engine modifications, and professional machine shop work. This 45-degree elbow fitting addresses a real challenge in tight engine bays where direct hose runs aren't feasible—whether you're plumbing fuel, coolant, power steering, or brake lines around headers, turbochargers, and superchargers. Built to be reusable across multiple hose installations, this fitting reduces waste and cost in both racing and street machine applications.

The -8 designation refers to the AN8 (JIC) standard, which specifies a 1/2-inch hose ID and handles high-pressure applications common in fuel injection systems, turbo supply/return lines, and nitrous oxide setups. The 45-degree geometry allows you to change line direction without sharp kinks that restrict flow or damage hose internals—critical when managing fuel velocity and preventing vapor lock or pressure loss. The black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion while remaining lightweight, and the reusable design means you can crimp and recrimp the fitting to new hose ends as you refine your plumbing layout during engine development or seasonal modifications.

Mechanics and fabricators working on carbureted restorations, LS swaps, vintage drag cars, and modern turbo applications rely on this fitting to maintain clean, efficient fluid pathways. It pairs with standard -8 AN hose and compatible crimp tools, making it straightforward to integrate into any existing system or new build. Whether you're routing fuel around an intercooler, plumbing coolant through a remote filter, or building a custom nitrous manifold, the Reusable Hose End Black 45 Deg Elbow -8 delivers the angle and reliability that serious builders expect from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE.
