#6 > 5/8-18 Alm Power Steering Fitting Black

The #6 > 5/8-18 Alm Power Steering Fitting Black from EARLS is a precision hydraulic adapter designed for custom power steering systems, race applications, and high-performance automotive builds. This straight-path fitting bridges two different thread standards—a #6 AN (dash-6) female port to a 5/8-18 inch male thread—making it essential for plumbing systems where OEM and aftermarket components use incompatible connection sizes. Whether you're upgrading a vintage hot rod, fabricating a custom chassis, or integrating remote-mount steering components, this adapter eliminates the need for custom machining or multiple fittings.

Constructed from aluminum and black anodized for corrosion resistance and professional appearance, the #6 > 5/8-18 Alm Power Steering Fitting Black delivers reliable leak-free connections in demanding engine bay environments. The anodized finish protects against oxidation while maintaining a clean aesthetic in visible installations. EARLS manufactures this fitting to tight tolerances, ensuring proper sealing when paired with compatible hose ends and manifold ports. The straight configuration allows direct inline routing without direction changes, ideal for constrained spaces or symmetrical plumbing layouts where 90-degree or 45-degree adapters would create clearance conflicts.

This adapter benefits fabricators, restoration specialists, and performance enthusiasts working with aluminum power steering pumps, custom reservoirs, or competition-grade steering systems. The lightweight design (0.02 lbs) has negligible impact on overall system weight, making it suitable for racing applications where every fraction matters. Installation requires standard JIC wrenches—the #6 AN side accepts standard -6 hose ends with JIC compression fittings, while the 5/8-18 side threads directly into ports on OEM-style manifolds or custom aluminum blocks. Verify thread pitch and port size on your specific steering components before ordering to ensure compatibility.
