Earls PERFORM-O-FLEX stainless braid-protected synthetic rubber hose is the premium quality racing hose depended on by the top racing teams of every professional sanctioning body in the world. PERFORM-O-FLEX features an inner liner of synthetic rubber. A partial coverage protective sheath of stainless steel braid is embedded in the liner during manufacturing. The reinforced hose liner is then bonded to a full-coverage outer protective sheath of high tensile stainless steel wire braid. Tougher than this, hose doesnt get. Yet Perform-O-Flex, with its inner liner, remains flexible at temperatures between -40 and +350 degrees F. Racing Greats have depended on PERFORM-O-FLEX hose and SWIVEL-SEAL hose ends since 1972. Perform-O-Flex hose is intended for use with Swivel-Seal, Auto-Fit and Auto-Crimp hose ends only. No other Earls hose ends are intended for use with Perform-O-Flex hose. The use of other manufacturers hose ends is not recommended. PSI rating is determined by many factors including hose end in use and assembly method.

Earl's Performance Products was founded by Earl Fouts in 1955 in Lawndale, California. Starting out as a small Army Navy Hardware Surplus Store serving the hot rod and racing communities of Southern California. The mission was to supply high-quality military aircraft specification surplus plumbing components directly to the racing industry from a small retail outlet. As the military surplus market dried up, Earl recognized the need for continuity of supply to the racing market and pioneered the Earl's range of hoses and fittings that are still used (and copied) today. In doing so he created the racing aftermarket A.N. plumbing industry. Earl's developed and patented the self-indexing adjustable hose end in 1973, known as the "Swivel Seal". It allows 360 degree adjustment after installation making plumbing a snap. Earl's has invented most of the special purpose racing adapters, and was the first to introduce flexible Stainless Steel PTFE lined hoses to the racing industry in the 1960s long before today's modern fuels forced many hose companies into obsoleting their hoses in search of a better solution. Earl's racing heritage is second to none and is also the most replicated but never duplicated A.N. plumbing in the world. All of today's plumbing companies continue to follow Earls lead and steal from its engineering designs. Often replicated but never duplicated Earl's continues to innovate plumbing for all segments of motorsports and car builders worldwide. Earls is sold across the globe and Earl's has the most complete line of performance plumbing on the market. Manufacturing is headquartered in Bowling Green, KY and has four secondary distribution locations in Indianapolis on Gasoline Alley, Earl's UK at the track at Silverstone, Earl's Australia located in Sydney, and Earls Store 1 in Lawndale California. Earl's Racing Products will continue its leadership role as the best engineered and best quality plumbing products on the market.
