Vibrant Performance Universal -16AN Tube Sleeve Fitting - Aluminum
Vibrant Performance tube sleeve fittings connect 1-5/16 inch OD aluminum hard lines to -16AN threaded hose ends or adapters. These fittings provide reliable seals for high-pressure fuel oil and brake systems in drag racing and street performance builds. Constructed from 6061 aluminum alloy they maintain lightweight setups with full strength for demanding applications.
Key Features
- 6061 Aluminum Construction: Delivers corrosion resistance and durability for extended service in harsh engine bay environments
- -16AN Sizing: Matches 1-5/16 inch outer diameter tubing to standard -16AN flare fittings for seamless custom plumbing integration
- Lightweight Design: Cuts overall vehicle weight to support better power-to-weight ratios in racing setups
- Precision Machined: Guarantees exact fit and leak-free performance under high PSI up to 1000 in fuel and oil lines
- Clear Anodized Finish: Protects against wear and oxidation in high-heat motorsport conditions
Product Notes
- Designed for custom fabrication of aluminum hard line systems
- Inspect fittings regularly for wear in high-vibration setups
- Ships in protective packaging to prevent damage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Requires AN flare tool for proper 37-degree double flare on tubing end
- Compatible with all standard -16AN male female swivel fittings and hose ends

Fabrication
Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...

Fittings
Automotive fluid system fittings are the hardware that connects hoses, hard lines, and components within fuel, oil, cooling, brake, power steering, and intercooler circuits, and the quality and correct sizing of these fittings directly determines whether a high-performance fluid system remains leak-free under the pressure, temperature, and vibration conditions that race and street performance environments produce. The AN fitting standard, derived from military Aircraft-Navy specifications, provides a consistent thread and flare geometry across fuel, oil, and hydraulic applications that allows interchangeability between brands and simplifies system design by providing a known thread engagement and sealing approach for every connection. Swivel fittings, bulkhead adapters, 45-degree and 90-degree elbow fittings, tee and union adapters, and reducer fittings allow performance builders to route lines through tight spaces and around obstacles while maintaining correct flow area without res...
