This straight adapter from Vibrant Performance connects -8AN male flare fittings to -4AN ORB male ports with a secure O-ring seal. Ideal for custom fabrication on aluminum radiators, oil pans, and tanks in high-performance vehicles. It delivers reliable fluid transfer for oil, fuel, or coolant systems without leaks.
Key Features
- CNC Machined Aluminum: Lightweight 6061-T6 construction weighs just 0.05 lbs for strength without added bulk in tight plumbing setups.
- Anodized Black Finish: Type III hard anodizing provides corrosion resistance and a durable black appearance that withstands harsh engine bay conditions.
- Integrated O-Ring: Viton O-ring ensures leak-proof sealing on the 1/4-28 ORB side for consistent pressure handling up to 1000 PSI.
- Precise Thread Specs: 3/4-16 male flare on -8AN end mates perfectly with braided hose ends, while 1/4-28 ORB fits standard senders and ports.
- Straight Design: 1.625 inch length with 0.438 inch bore supports unrestricted flow in compact custom routing applications.
