Earl's Performance Ultra-Flex 45-Degree Crimp-On AN Hose End Fittings

Earl's Performance Ultra-Flex 45-Degree Crimp-On AN Hose End Fittings are purpose-engineered for use with Earl's Ultra-Flex PTFE hose lineup, delivering a precision-matched plumbing solution built for high-performance racing and professional motorsports applications. Exclusively compatible with Earl's Ultra-Flex 650 Kevlar-braided and 660 stainless-braided PTFE hose, these crimp-on fittings ensure a fully optimized, high-integrity assembly from end to end.

The 45-degree angle configuration is designed to navigate tight engine bays and complex plumbing runs where straight fittings are impractical. The crimp-on design permanently locks the fitting to the hose, eliminating loosening under vibration or pressure — a critical advantage in competition environments. Installation requires Earl's Ultra-Flex hydraulic crimping machine, and aluminum crimp collars are sold separately.
