Installation Notes

- Push the hose firmly onto the barbed fitting end and ensure full engagement; in high-pressure applications, consider use of clamp if specified by hose manufacturer.
- Verify correct routing and secure hose to avoid chaffing, vibration wear or excessive heat exposure.
- Clean all connection surfaces before assembly; inspect for leaks after initial startup and periodically during operation.

FAQ
Is this FPE-FIT-Y08-BLK fitting ONLY for fuel use?
No — while it works excellently in fuel systems, the fitting is universal for any compatible -8 pushlock hose application, including oil, coolant or custom fluid routing. Just ensure hose and system pressure are within safe limits.
Will this work with -10 or -6 hose sizes?
No — this specific model is designed for -8 pushlock hose (½″ nominal). If you are using -6 or -10 hose sizes, you should select the appropriate Fleece model (e.g., FPE-FIT-Y06-BLK for -6 hose).
Do I need hose clamps with this barbed fitting?
In many push-lock hose applications the barbed fitting alone provides a secure connection; however, for high-pressure or vibration-heavy environments, adding a hose clamp improves reliability and is recommended.
Can I use this fitting in a race environment?
Yes — the FPE-FIT-Y08-BLK is built from billet aluminum with precision machining and a corrosion resistant black anodized finish, making it suitable for high-performance builds and custom plumbing solutions.
