The #6 > 5/8-18 Power Steering Aluminum Fitting by EARLS is a precision adapter designed for high-performance hydraulic and power steering systems that demand reliable, leak-free connections. This straight-through fitting bridges two different port sizes and thread standards—a #6 AN (dash-6) female port and a 5/8-18 inch male port—making it essential for custom plumbing in race cars, street rods, and specialized machinery where OEM connectors don't fit. Built to exacting standards by EARLS, a leader in fluid transfer components, this fitting solves the challenge of connecting incompatible hose and component threads without compromise.
Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum and finished with blue anodized protection, this power steering adapter resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance in engine bays and underhood installations. The straight-flow design minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, critical factors in power steering circuits where smooth operation directly affects steering response and system efficiency. Aluminum construction keeps weight to a bare minimum—just 0.03 lbs—while delivering durability comparable to steel in most automotive applications, making it ideal for weight-conscious builds without sacrificing performance or longevity.
This fitting benefits custom fabricators, hot rod builders, and motorsport enthusiasts who encounter non-standard power steering configurations or aftermarket steering system upgrades. Whether you're converting an older vehicle to modern hydraulic steering, adapting vintage components to contemporary systems, or building a one-off high-performance platform, this adapter provides a coded, field-proven solution. Installation is straightforward—apply appropriate thread sealant to the 5/8-18 male port, torque to component specifications, and connect your #6 AN hose or component. Verify thread compatibility before purchase; this fitting is designed for dry-seal male threads and compatible with standard AN hose ends.
