Fragola Performance Systems

Fragola Performance Systems is headquartered in Southington , Connecticut. (USA)

In 1973 Frank Fragola  started  F.F. Screw Products as a job shop that was run as a part time operation with 1 employee. Within 4 years, it changed to a full time operation with 10 employees. 

In 1982 after years of doing job shop components for many large companies they decided to start making their own products and that is when F-K Bearings was started.  At that time they were operating both F.F. Screw Products and F.K. bearings in two separate buildings that were approximately 36,000 square feet combined.

In 1999 they formed Fragola Performance Systems after many of their customers kept inquiring why they didn’t manufacture fittings for the racing industry.

They are now housed in a 80,000 square foot building with 35 employees .Their sister company F.K. Bearings is across the street from them with their own 80,000 square foot building with 55 employees.

All of the companies are owned and operated by the Fragola family . They are now starting their 3rd generation, as their grandchildren are learning the business as well.

              

               All of their fittings start out as the high quality bar stock.

 

 

All Fragola Performance hose ends are manufactured from aerospace quality aluminum and machined to Mil spec tolerances.

They also sell complete pre crimped hose assemblies .

Fragola carries all the popular A/N sizes, and they feature an anodized finish available in many colors.

3000 Series Race Hose Ends

Unique ONE-PIECE design eliminates two brazed joints, minimizing potential leakage, improving flow and appearance.

• Two Viton “O” rings form a redundant seal to ensure no-leak service for the life of the part and are impervious to fuel, oil and coolant.
• Stainless steel lock wires to prevent galling and provide long service.
• Wider wrenching surface for a no-slip installation.
• Tapered nipple for easy alignment and installation.
• J gauge threads for increased strength and durability.
• Bright dipped anodizing for a show quality finish.
• Improved entry angle on the socket, allows for easy installation.
