#10 Female x #8 Male Swivel Reducer Black

The FRAGOLA #10 Female x #8 Male Swivel Reducer Black (part number 497211-BL) is a precision aluminum AN fitting adapter engineered for high-pressure hydraulic and fuel line systems. This straight swivel reducer seamlessly connects #10 AN female ports to #8 AN male connections, making it an essential component for custom plumbing in performance vehicles, race cars, industrial equipment, and aviation applications where reliable fluid transfer is non-negotiable.

Machined from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this adapter combines strength with corrosion resistance. The swivel design eliminates rotational stress on connected hoses and fittings, reducing fatigue failure and extending system service life. The straight configuration allows direct inline installation without bends, simplifying plumbing layouts and reducing pressure drop across the junction. AN (Army-Navy) standard sizing ensures compatibility with industry-standard hose barbs, crimp fittings, and quick-disconnect couplers across motorsports, aviation, and industrial sectors.

This reducer is designed for builders and technicians who demand precision-engineered components in downsizing applications—where a primary line is #10 AN but the receiving port or component accepts only #8 AN connections. Common scenarios include fuel system tuning, brake line consolidation, oil cooler plumbing, and hydraulic control circuits. The compact, lightweight profile (0.09 lbs) minimizes system weight while the black anodized finish resists oxidation in both dry shop environments and moisture-exposed engine bays.

FRAGOLA is recognized for producing quality AN fittings and adapters that meet OEM and aftermarket builder expectations. Each adapter ships as a single unit and installs with standard AN wrenches—no special tools required. This is a direct replacement or upgrade component for any system requiring reliable #10-to-#8 AN stepping.
