Yes, for the most part Fragola do manufacture own products. With the exception of the AN hose, some of the tools, and some of the steel AN Adapters. Fragola use Parker Hose, which is sourced in the United States and try to source all of the tools and steel adapters that do not make, in the US when they are available.
Fragola 2000 Series compression style Hose Ends use a nipple that the socket draws the hose over during assembly. These Hose Ends utilize the crush between the inside of the socket and the outside of the nipple to create it’s sealing area. Fragola 3000 Series Cutter Style Hose Ends also use a socket to draw the hose over a nipple. But assembly directs the center portion of the hose into a cutter. The seal here is formed by the cutter imbedding itself into the center mass of the hose.
Both Fragola Stainless and Black Nylon Race Hose can be used with 2000 Series Compression Style Hose Ends. When utilizing 3000 Series Cutter Style Hose Ends, Fragola recommend using Stainless 3000 Series Race Hose only.

Fragola carry the hose in sizes -6 through -10 AN, and the hose ends are available in configurations ranging from Straight to 180 degrees in each size. Black coated –6 and –8 AN hose is available.
Fragola lightest alternative would be to use Push-Lok Hose and 8000 Series Push-Lok Hose Ends. By using this combination of products it is common to take 20-30 lbs out of most vehicle combinations. Fragola 8000 Series Push-Lok Hose offers good working pressures and vacuum ratings for most automotive racing applications. It can be used to plumb most water, oil, and fuel systems.

You can find this product on Pro Mod drag cars, Sprint Cars, Dirt Late Models and Modifieds around the world. If you do not have the availability of a crimping machine, this hose can be used with 2000 Series, Compression Style, Pro-Flow Hose Ends. This is ideal for the do it yourselfer.

Yes, all of dealers have the ability to order custom length hose assemblies from us. Normally there is a 1-2 day turn around for this service.
Yes they can. But, when ordering a hose assembly with a 3AN nut we like to build these through custom shop. They start with 4AN hose and a special 3AN conversion nut and hose tail is used. This bumps the I.D. up and ensures hose assembly doesn’t become a restriction.
In most applications Fragola like to see P/N 960004, 100 Micron Fuel Filter installed before the Fuel Pump on the inlet side, (where applicable), and a 40 or 10 Micron Filter installed after the pump before the regulator. It’s also worth mentioning that both P/N 960004, 100 Micron and 960003, 40 Micron Fuel Filters use Stainless Pleated Elements and are safe for applications running Methanol, E85, and Gasoline.
Fragola recommend using our Garden Hose x AN Adapter Kits. Each kit comes with a Garden Hose x 8AN Adapter and all of the reducers, expanders, and plugs needed to safely and easily flush out and test AN Hose Assemblies before installing them on a car.
These adapters are available in a couple of different combinations. The most popular being 10AN O.R.B x 10AN O.R.B., which is our P/N 494110-BL.
