Straight Push-On Hose En d Fitting; Size: -8AN

The Vibrant Performance straight push-on hose end fitting in -8AN size is an essential component for any serious engine builder, fuel system technician, or performance enthusiast working with high-flow hydraulic and fuel line assemblies. This fitting bridges the gap between hose barbs and female AN ports, making it indispensable for custom fuel delivery systems, turbo oil feeds, coolant lines, and vacuum applications where reliability and leak-free operation are non-negotiable. Whether you're upgrading a street machine or fabricating a competition engine bay, this straight fitting delivers the straightforward, no-nonsense connection your system demands.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this -8AN fitting resists corrosion while maintaining a clean appearance under the hood. The straight design eliminates bends and potential stress points, reducing turbulence and pressure drop in critical cooling or fuel circuits—a major advantage over elbows in tight engine compartments. The hose barb end grips reinforced hose securely with a simple clamp, while the female AN thread port accepts standard -8 AN male adapters, couplers, and block fittings. Black anodize finish not only protects against oxidation but also provides a professional, OEM-quality appearance that won't degrade under heat cycles or UV exposure.

Mechanics and fabricators who run fuel injection conversions, custom radiator loops, or turbocharged setups will appreciate the compact 3.25-inch length and lightweight 0.05-pound design, which simplifies integration into cramped engine bays without adding bulk or weight penalty. This fitting is compatible with any -8AN hose assembly and pairs seamlessly with Vibrant Performance manifolds, block adapters, and line kits commonly used in LS swaps, carbureted restorations, and modern performance platforms. Installation requires only a standard hose clamp and wrench—no special tools or thread sealant needed for the barb end, making this a go-to choice for rapid prototyping, dyno work, or field repairs where time matters.
