Description
Connects fluid lines: Mishimoto Aluminum PTFE -8AN Straight Fitting Black delivers a secure, serviceable connection for -8AN hose assemblies and contributes to consistent system performance under demanding use.
Engineered by Mishimoto, a brand known for motorsports-focused cooling and fluid-management components, this straight fitting combines materials and form factor to address common installation and durability considerations.
- Aluminum body — Lightweight corrosion-resistant construction reduces added mass and resists deterioration in automotive environments.
- PTFE lining — Provides a smooth internal surface that aids hose longevity and minimizes internal friction for reliable fluid flow.
- -8AN thread size — Standardized AN sizing ensures compatibility with -8AN braided hoses and adapters used in high-performance plumbing and turbo upgrade plumbing.
- Straight fitting geometry — Simplifies routing where a linear connection is required, reducing hose stress and improving serviceability.
- Black finish — Low-profile, workshop-friendly appearance that resists visible wear and helps maintain a clean installation aesthetic.
Why this matters: each element is selected to support repeatable, service-oriented installations typical of track-focused or performance builds. The combination of an aluminum exterior and PTFE internal surface promotes durable sealing and predictable flow characteristics without introducing unnecessary weight or complexity.
Use cases: intended for replacing or upgrading hose terminations in fuel, oil, coolant, or vacuum plumbing where -8AN fittings are specified. The straight orientation is suitable for inline runs and applications where routing minimizes bends and fittings.
Brand assurance: Mishimoto supplies components geared toward motorsports and performance applications; this fitting is intended to integrate with other high-quality fluid-management parts to maintain the reliability of a completed build, including turbo upgrade plumbing and high-flow systems.
