Racedom AN8 - G 1/2'' Male BSPP
High-performance straight adapter fitting designed to connect an AN8 (8AN) female hose end or port to a 1/2" BSPP (G 1/2") female parallel pipe port. Precision CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum with a durable black anodized finish for superior corrosion resistance. Features a 37-degree AN flare side and a parallel BSPP (G thread) pipe thread for reliable fluid transfer in fuel, oil, water, and air systems.
AN8 Male Flare to 1/2" BSPP (G 1/2") Male Straight Adapter Fitting
Engineered for high-stress motorsport and custom automotive fluid routing, this straight adapter fitting delivers a precise transition between AN8 braided hose assemblies and British Standard Pipe Parallel (1/2" BSPP / G 1/2") threaded ports. It is widely used on aftermarket oil coolers, sandwich plates, catch tanks, and fuel system components.
Key Features & Performance Specifications:
- Precision CNC Machined: Manufactured from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy to deliver high structural strength while keeping fluid system weight to a minimum.
- Black Anodized Finish: Provides outstanding long-term protection against aggressive fuels, oil, alcohol blends (E85), corrosion, and high engine bay temperatures.
- Dual-Interface Sealing:
- AN8 Side: Standard 37-degree JIC flare angle ensuring a positive metal-to-metal mechanical seal under high operating pressure.
- 1/2" BSPP Side: Parallel Whitworth thread (1/2" x 14 TPI) engineered for secure mating with parallel BSP/G thread ports.
- Universal Compatibility: Ideal for high-pressure oil lines, fuel supply systems, coolant routing, and air applications.
Installation Guidelines:
For a reliable seal on the 1/2" BSPP (G 1/2") parallel thread side, use a bonded sealing washer (Dowty seal), aluminum crush washer, or appropriate O-ring against the port face. The AN8 flare side relies on a clean metal-to-metal mechanical seal and should be assembled dry without thread sealant.
