Vibrant 5/16 Barbed Tee Adapter - Aluminum | Universal Fit
Vibrant Performance 5/16" barbed tee adapter in aluminum splits a single hose into two lines for custom oil cooler catch can or plumbing setups. This fitting works on any vehicle with 5/16" ID hoses delivering leak-free connections under pressure. Built for motorsports and street performance applications Vibrant oil system components ensure dependable flow.
Key Features
- Aluminum Construction: Provides corrosion resistance and low weight at 0.05 lbs for easy handling and long-term durability in harsh engine environments
- 5/16" Barbs: Three precision barbs grip 5/16" ID rubber or braided hoses tightly to prevent slippage during high-vibration operation
- Tee Configuration: One inlet two outlets design enables simple line branching for oil return feed or dual routing without adapters
- Machined Accuracy: CNC-machined from billet aluminum stock for smooth barbs and exact ID matching to minimize flow restriction
- Universal Application: Fits oil fuel coolant or PCV systems across cars trucks and race vehicles needing reliable tee fittings
Product Notes
- Inspect hoses for compatibility before use and trim cleanly for best seal
- Avoid over-tightening clamps to prevent barb damage or hose tears
- Store in dry area to maintain anodized finish integrity
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Use stainless steel worm gear clamps sized for 5/16" hose over barbs
- Compatible with EFI rubber braided or silicone hoses up to 100 psi

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...
