Product Information
Full details
This 3-piece set of Connect 90° Angled Fuel Line Quick Connectors is designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to make secure fuel, oil, water, or air line connections in confined spaces. The key benefit is the 90-degree angle, which simplifies installation where access is limited. A caveat to note is that these connectors are specifically designed for 8mm ID nylon pipe and 7.5mm ID rubber hose, requiring precise hose dimensions for a proper seal.

FAQs
What size fuel lines do these connectors fit?
These connectors are designed for 8mm internal diameter (ID) nylon pipe and 7.5mm internal diameter (ID) rubber hose.
What is the maximum pressure these connectors can handle?
They have a constant running pressure of 5 bar (72psi) and a maximum pressure of 7 bar (101psi).
Can these connectors be used for fluids other than fuel?
Yes, they are also suitable for oil, water cooling systems, and air transfer lines within their specified pressure and temperature ratings.
Do I need any special tools to install these connectors?
While the connectors are quick-release, a tool like the Laser Tools Pipe Connector Insertion Tool (Part No. 6933) is recommended for easily fitting hard plastic fuel pipes.
What is the operating temperature range?
The connectors can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 120°C.
Are these connectors suitable for high-performance applications?
They are suitable for moderate pressure applications. For systems exceeding 5 bar running pressure or 7 bar maximum, alternative connectors may be required.
How do I ensure a leak-free connection?
Ensure the fuel line is the correct size and inserted fully until it clicks. Inspect seals for damage and ensure the connection area is clean.
Troubleshooting
Connector will not snap into place
Ensure the fuel line is the correct size (8mm ID nylon or 7.5mm ID rubber). Check for any obstructions or damage at the end of the fuel line. For nylon pipe, try using an insertion tool to properly seat the line.
Leak detected at the connection point
Disconnect and reconnect the fuel line, ensuring it is fully seated. Inspect the fuel line and the connector's seals for any damage or debris. If damage is found, the connector or hose may need replacement.
Connector difficult to disconnect
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Sometimes debris can interfere; try gently wiggling the connector while attempting to release the lock.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for use in restricted spaces due to the 90-degree angle.
- Quick and easy to install and remove without tools.
- Durable materials provide long-lasting performance.
- Wide operating temperature range suitable for automotive environments.
- Provides a secure and leak-free connection.
Cons
- Specific hose size requirements (8mm ID nylon, 7.5mm ID rubber) limit universal application.
- May require a specific insertion tool (like Laser Tools Part No. 6933) for optimal fitting of hard plastic pipe.
- Pressure limitations may not be suitable for all high-performance fuel systems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the fuel line (8mm ID nylon or 7.5mm ID rubber hose) is clean and free of debris. For nylon pipes, using a specialized insertion tool like Laser Tools Part No. 6933 is recommended to ease fitting onto the connector. Push the fuel line firmly onto the connector until it clicks into place, indicating a secure connection. The self-locking mechanism will engage automatically.
Compatibility: These connectors are designed to mate with corresponding male quick connectors (e.g., Connect Part No. 37201). They are specified for 8mm internal diameter nylon fuel lines and 7.5mm internal diameter rubber hoses. Always confirm your existing fuel line dimensions before purchase.
Care: Inspect connectors regularly for signs of damage, cracking, or wear, especially after exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh fluids. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the Nylon PA12 or Viton seals. Ensure the connection points remain free of dirt and debris.
