Fragola Performance Systems 385042 -8 AN PTFE Braided Hose Assembly 42" Straight x 45 Degree

The Fragola Performance Systems 385042 is a premium 42-inch long PTFE-lined braided stainless steel hose assembly featuring -8 AN fittings with one straight hose end and one 45-degree hose end with aluminum nuts. This pre-assembled hose line is engineered for demanding automotive fluid delivery applications including fuel systems, brake lines, oil lines, nitrous oxide feed lines, and power steering systems.

Construction and Materials:
Built with aerospace-grade PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner liner and reinforced with a braided stainless steel outer covering, this hose assembly delivers exceptional durability and chemical resistance. The PTFE liner is impervious to fuel, oil, coolant, brake fluid, and other automotive fluids, while the stainless steel braid provides superior burst strength and abrasion resistance. The aluminum hose end fittings feature Fragola's one-piece design that eliminates brazed joints for improved flow, reduced leak potential, and enhanced reliability.

Key Features:

• -8 AN hose size (approximately 1/2-inch nominal bore)
• 42-inch overall length measured end-to-end
• One straight hose end and one 45-degree angled hose end
• Aluminum swivel nuts for easy installation and reusability
• PTFE inner liner handles temperatures from -40°F to +400°F
• Conductive core dissipates static electricity for fuel safety
• 100% factory inspected for quality assurance
• Pre-assembled and ready to install

Applications:
Ideal for racing and high-performance street applications where routing flexibility is needed. The 45-degree angled fitting allows for precise routing in tight spaces while the straight fitting provides a direct connection point. Commonly used for remote oil filters, fuel system plumbing, brake line upgrades, power steering lines, and nitrous oxide feed systems.

Performance Benefits:
PTFE-lined hoses offer superior flow characteristics compared to rubber hoses, maintaining consistent inner diameter without expansion or contraction under pressure. The material's natural non-stick properties prevent fluid contamination and buildup. Fragola's precision-manufactured fittings feature J-gauge threads for easy assembly and leak-free sealing, while the swivel design reduces installation stress on the hose.

This Made in USA product is manufactured in Fragola's Connecticut facility to exacting standards, ensuring consistent quality and reliability for professional racing teams and performance enthusiasts alike.
