Fragola Performance Systems Belts and Cooling

About Fragola Performance Systems

Few names in the performance plumbing world carry the credibility of Fragola Performance Systems. Rooted in a deep American manufacturing tradition, the brand traces its origins back to 1973, when Fragola Performance Systems began as F.F. Screw Products — a one-person job shop operating out of a modest 1,000-square-foot building in Southington, Connecticut. Within just four years, that small operation had grown into a full-time business with ten employees, laying the groundwork for what would become one of racing's most trusted fluid delivery brands.

By 1982, the family had expanded further by launching F-K Bearings, manufacturing proprietary components for major industrial customers. Then, inspired by consistent demand from racing customers who wanted high-quality plumbing solutions built to the same standard, Fragola Performance Systems was officially born in 1999. Today, the company operates out of an 80,000-square-foot facility — still in Southington, Connecticut — and is now into its third generation of family ownership and management.

American-Made Quality, Race-Proven Performance

What sets Fragola apart is their commitment to domestic manufacturing. Nearly all Fragola products are made right in their Connecticut facility, and the brand is well known for its pledge of 100% on-time deliveries. This isn't just marketing — it reflects a family-owned culture where every product that leaves the floor carries the Fragola name and reputation.

AN fittings are at the heart of Fragola's lineup. Their aluminum hose ends and adapters are engineered to cover virtually every automotive plumbing scenario, from brakes and oil systems to fuel and cooling. Fragola fittings feature a one-piece design, stainless steel lock wires, and J-gauge threads for superior strength and leak-free connections — details that matter when performance and safety are on the line.

Racers and builders who need flexible, durable plumbing reach for Fragola's braided hose, which is built to handle the pressure and heat demands of high-performance applications. Whether it's an oil feed line snaking through an engine bay or a coolant circuit in a dedicated race car, Fragola hose delivers the flow and reliability the build demands.

For installations where routing space is tight or assembly speed matters, push-on hose fittings offer a socket-free solution that doesn't sacrifice integrity. Fragola's push-lock hose ends are a popular choice for street performance builds and race cars alike, offering a clean, professional appearance alongside dependable sealing.

Fuel system integrity is non-negotiable, and Fragola addresses this with dedicated fuel hose fittings and complete fuel line solutions designed specifically for high-flow, high-pressure environments. From carburetor inlet fittings to full fuel delivery assemblies, Fragola's fuel-specific components are engineered with the same precision and care as the rest of the lineup.

Why Racers Trust Fragola

Fragola Performance Systems has earned its place in the paddock by focusing on what matters most: quality, consistency, and availability.
