High-performance straight adapter fitting designed to connect an AN8 (8AN) female hose end or port to a 1/2" NPT female pipe port. Precision CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum with a black anodized finish for superior corrosion resistance. Features a 37-degree AN flare side and a 60-degree tapered NPT pipe thread for a secure, high-pressure seal in fuel, oil, water, and air systems.
AN8 Male Flare to 1/2" NPT Male Straight Adapter Fitting
Engineered for high-stress automotive and motorsport fluid management, this straight adapter fitting delivers a precise, reliable connection between AN8 braided hose assemblies and 1/2" NPT pipe ports. It is widely utilized in aftermarket fuel rails, oil cooler systems, catch tanks, engine blocks, and custom fluid lines.
Key Features & Performance Specifications:
- Precision CNC Machined: Manufactured from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for an optimal balance of structural strength and minimal weight.
- Black Anodized Finish: Provides long-lasting protection against aggressive fuels, oil, alcohol blends (E85), corrosion, and ambient engine bay heat.
- Dual-Interface Sealing:
- AN8 Side: 37-degree JIC flare angle ensuring a positive metal-to-metal mechanical seal under high pressure.
- 1/2" NPT Side: 60-degree tapered pipe thread designed for high-pressure fluid retention.
- Universal Compatibility: Suitable for oil, fuel, water, fluid, and air supply systems.
Installation Guidelines:
For a leak-free installation on the 1/2" NPT thread side, application of a high-grade PTFE liquid thread sealant or PTFE thread tape is recommended prior to final torquing. The AN8 flare connection requires clean metal-to-metal mating without thread sealant.
