Earl's Performance Products was founded by Earl Fouts in 1955 in Lawndale, California.
The mission was to supply high-quality military aircraft surplus plumbing components directly to the racing industry from a small retail outlet.
As the military surplus market dried up, the need for continuity of supply for the racing market was recognized by Earl, who pioneered the Earl's range of hoses and fittings that are still used today.
In doing so, the racing aftermarket plumbing industry was created by Earl's Performance.
The self-indexing hose end, known as the 'Swivel Seal', was invented by Earl's in 1973.
It allows 360-degree adjustment after installation, making plumbing a snap.
Most of the special-purpose racing adapters, the full billet hose clamp housing, and the flexible armored PTFE lined hose were introduced to the racing industry by Earl's in the 1960s.
Earl's racing heritage is second to none and is possibly the winning-est plumbing in history.
Top funny car teams, sprint car teams, and Indy car teams still rely on Earl's today.
The vast majority of Indy 500 winners have had Earl's plumbing.
Earl's Performance Plumbing has distribution outlets across the globe.
The most complete line of performance plumbing on the market is offered by Earl's, renowned as the world's No.1 motorsport hose and fittings source.
Manufacturing is headquartered in Bowling Green, KY, with three distribution/assembly sub-locations in Indianapolis on Gasoline Alley, Earl's UK at the track at Silverstone, and Earl's Australia located in Sydney.
