Earl's Performance Products was established by Earl Fouts in 1955 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 recognized the need for a continuous 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 plumbing industry for the racing aftermarket.
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 has the most comprehensive line of performance plumbing available and is recognized as the world's leading source for motorsport hoses and fittings.
Manufacturing is based in Bowling Green, KY, with three distribution and assembly sub-locations in Indianapolis on Gasoline Alley, Earl's UK at Silverstone, and Earl's Australia in Sydney.
