10AN to 8AN 1/2NPT Straight Male to Male

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 10AN to 8AN 1/2NPT Straight Male to Male adapter is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting designed for high-pressure fluid power systems, fuel lines, and coolant circuits requiring reliable connections between dissimilar port sizes. This straight adapter bridges 10 AN (JIC) male ports to 8 AN male connections while incorporating a 1/2 inch NPT male port, making it ideal for technicians, performance engine builders, and hydraulic system integrators who need compact, multi-directional connectivity without bulky 90-degree or 45-degree offset designs.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance and lightweight performance critical in motorsports and aerospace applications. The 816 Series design employs robust JIC male threads that mate securely with AN flange fittings, creating leak-proof seals under extreme pressure and temperature cycling. Straight configuration minimizes turbulence and pressure drop compared to multi-angle adapters, while the NPT male port allows integration with standard industrial plumbing components and gauge ports without additional reducer fittings or adapters.

High-performance mechanics, custom fabricators, and OEM engine builders benefit most from this adapter when reconfiguring fuel distribution manifolds, transmission cooler circuits, or auxiliary cooling systems where port consolidation is required. Installation is straightforward—apply thread sealant to the NPT port if connecting to non-JIC fittings, use appropriate wrenches to prevent fitting rotation during assembly, and verify pressure-rated hose or tube compatibility before pressurization. Weighing just 0.09 lbs with compact 2.8 x 1.1 x 3.75 inch dimensions, this adapter fits tight engine bays and custom chassis layouts without sacrificing flow capacity or reliability.
