SEMA 2014: Fragola Now Offers -20 AN Push Lock Ends And Hose

With the increase in turbo applications, there’s a growing desire to use pushlock hose to support the intercooler system. But -20 AN hose ends weren’t always easy to find. Now Fragola Performance Systems is offering -20 AN push lock hose ends and hose.

“Everybody has been wanting bigger lines,” says Fragola’s Jeff Stacy. “Now you can use 1.25-inch hose.”

Fragola offers straight and 90-degree push lock hose ends along with -20 push lock hose by the foot.

Also new for 2015 will be a large selection of hose end reducers and expanders that can be used with stainless-steel and black-nylon race hoses. The reducers are available in three sizes: -8 nut to -6 hose, -10 nut to -8 hose, -16 nut to -12 hose. The expanders are also available in three sizes: -6 nut to -8 hose, -10 nut to -12 hose, -12 nut to -16 hose. All of the reducers and expanders are available in straight, 30-, 45-, 60-, 90-, 120-, 150- and 180-degree styles, and there’s a choice of black or red/blue colors.

“These are real helpful for things like fuel return lines and vacuum pumps,” says Stacy. “Also, if someone already has a -8 line strung on his car, and then goes to a -10 fuel pump, he doesn’t have to change the lines.”

Other new products in the Fragola booth at SEMA include male EFI adapters and O-ring boss carburetor adapters. The EFI adapters are designed for LS1 applications that allow the user to use a -6 AN line and still retain the factory fuel filter and regulator assemblies. Two sizes are available: -6 to 5/16 EFI adapter and -6 to 3/8 EFI adapter. The carb adapters come in three sizes: -6 male short, -8 male short and -8 male long.

Finally, Fragola showed off a new series of direct-fit Real Street PTFE hose ends. There are two styles: O-ring and NPT direct-fit swivel style. Each is available in -6, -8 and -10 in 90-degree styles.
