If it's not show quality you are after and just fluid conveyence...then try the industrial hyd hose/fitting route. The money charged for AL fittigns is crazy and waaaaay over priced.




Here is a good site that has a lot of info regarding ind hose and fittings.

I've used aeroquip, earls, redhorse, summit, Russel....the only ones I didn't like were the red horse one. Hard to put them together correctly. I just buy summit mostly because the are so much cheaper. My brothers shop mostly just uses Summit to because they are good for the price.




The funny thing is Summit brand is made by redhorse now. I have used them plenty in the past (redhorse) and yes they just like any are a pain to get together sometimes. I use the Redhorse mainly because of the finish on them. Haven't had any problem with any unless it was operator error.


Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!

Must have changed since I last bought some...I do like the eedhorse finish too. I don't remember which red horse fittings I had an issue with....I mostly use Teflon hose and fittings...maybe that was a factor too. I just remember the hose end fitting had a super long threaded portion...different than most fittings I've used. Maybe I did it wrong....

Another vote for Phenix Industries.

Phenix Industries

The person in charge of wholesale distribution is local to me. I've had the opportunity to more or less see everything they offer and have come away impressed.

On my wife's Barracuda, I have been replacing the generic black AN fittings from Summit with the black Phenix fittings...mostly because the generic stuff was fading terribly, but I have also noticed the Phenix fittings simply appear to be a nicer product.

Phenix AN hoses are nice as well...I have used their traditional stainless, teflon lined stainless, and their black nylon covered hose with great success on 4 or 5 cars so far.

I use the Summit brand... any of them cost... these
Summit ones are just a little less pricey... try plumbing
a dry sump.. that will get real pricey even with the
less pricey ones
