Earl's Performance 312008ERL Auto-Fit 120-Degree -8 AN Hose End Fitting

The Earl's Performance 312008ERL Auto-Fit Hose End is a 120-degree, -8 AN aluminum AN hose end fitting engineered for high-performance plumbing applications. Featuring Earl's proven Auto-Fit barbed nipple design, this fitting delivers leak-free, positive hose retention without the spiral leak path associated with conventional threaded nipple hose ends.

Unlike traditional single-nipple hose ends where the nipple threads into the hose — creating a potential spiral leak path — the Auto-Fit nipple is barbed and simply pushes into the hose during assembly. The hose is compressed between the nipple and socket, sealing firmly at the barbs for a reliable, leak-resistant connection. The result is a fitting that is faster and easier to assemble while offering the same positive hose retention as Earl's premium Swivel-Seal line.

Key Features:

• 120-degree bend angle for routing in tight or angled plumbing configurations
• -8 AN hose size compatible with Earl's Perform-O-Flex, Pro-Lite 350, Pro-Lite Ultra, and Auto-Flex hose
• Barbed nipple design — no threading required; push-in assembly eliminates spiral leak path
• Positive hose retention — hose is locked between nipple and socket at the barbs
• Lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum construction, anodized in red and blue
• Easy assembly — faster installation compared to threaded nipple designs
• Cost-effective — delivers Swivel-Seal-level reliability at a lower price point
• Suitable for fuel, oil, coolant, and most general performance plumbing applications

The Earl's Auto-Fit line is designed exclusively for use with Earl's brand hose, including Perform-O-Flex, Pro-Lite 350, Pro-Lite Ultra, and Auto-Flex. Sold individually.
