Fragola AN 180 Degree Hose End Series 3000 Cutter Style

Fragola Performance Systems Series 3000 Race Hose Ends feature the “cutter” method of attachment. The socket draws the hose over the nipple and into the cutter. The seal is formed by the cutter imbedding itself into the end of the hose.

3000 Series Race Hose Ends: (See Picture for reference)

• (1) Unique ONE-PIECE design eliminates two brazed joints, minimizing potential leakage, improving flow and appearance.
• (2) Two Viton “O” rings form a redundant seal to ensure no-leak service for the life of the part and are impervious to fuel, oil and coolant.
• (3) Stainless steel lock wires to prevent galling and provide long service.
• (4) Wider wrenching surface for a no-slip installation.
• (5) Tapered nipple for easy alignment and installation.
• (6) J gauge threads for increased strength and durability.
• (7) Bright dipped anodizing for a show quality finish.
• (8) Improved entry angle on the socket, allows for easy installation.

Note: -4 hose ends are non-swivel.

Torque Specifications

Many people over tighten the aluminum fitting on the adapter, which distorts the 37 degree seat, and may cause leakage. Both the threads and the seat surface should have a drop or two of oil to smooth the tightening process. The maximum torque specifications are listed here. (An alternate method of tightening is to bring the nut to “hand-tight” and then rotate it another turn with the proper wrench.)
