Earl's Performance Products was established in 1955 by Earl Fouts in Lawndale, California.
The goal was to supply military aircraft surplus plumbing components directly to the racing industry from a small retail outlet.
As the military surplus market diminished, Earl identified the need for a consistent supply for the racing market and pioneered the Earl's range of hoses and fittings that are still utilized today.
In doing so, he created the racing aftermarket plumbing industry.
Earl's Performance invented the self-indexing hose end in 1973, known as the 'Swivel Seal'.
It allows for 360-degree adjustment after installation, making plumbing straightforward.
Earl's invented most of the special-purpose racing adapters, the full billet hose clamp housing, and introduced the flexible armored PTFE lined hose to the racing industry in the 1960s.
Earl's racing heritage is unmatched and is possibly the most successful plumbing in history.
Top funny car teams, sprint car teams, and Indy car teams depend on Earl's still today.
Earl's plumbing has been present on the majority of Indy 500 winners.
Earl's Performance Plumbing has distribution outlets worldwide.
Earl's offers the most comprehensive line of performance plumbing on the market and is recognized as the world's leading motorsport hose and fittings source.
Manufacturing is based in Bowling Green, KY, with three distribution/assembly sub-locations in Indianapolis on Gasoline Alley, Earl's UK at Silverstone, and Earl's Australia in Sydney.
