#6 x #8 Female Swivel Connector

The #6 x #8 Female Swivel Connector by FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic and fuel system adapter engineered for custom automotive builds where flexible hose routing and vibration isolation are critical. This fitting bridges two different AN port sizes—a #6 AN female swivel to an #8 AN female swivel—allowing technicians to connect larger hoses to smaller ports or adapt legacy fuel systems to modern high-flow requirements without costly rework. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car with period-correct fuel injection or fabricating a custom fuel delivery system for a performance engine, this adapter simplifies plumbing while maintaining system integrity under pressure and thermal cycling.

Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in blue anodizing, the #6 x #8 Female Swivel Connector resists corrosion and oxidation while remaining lightweight—critical attributes in race and street applications where weight reduction and durability go hand in hand. The swivel design on both ports accommodates hose movement and prevents stress concentration at connection points, reducing vibration-induced leaks and hose failure over thousands of miles. FRAGOLA's precision threading and swivel ball geometry ensure consistent, leak-free sealing across repeated connect-disconnect cycles, whether used in fuel systems, coolant loops, or low-pressure hydraulic circuits. The 0.06 lb weight and compact 1.5 x 1.5 x 2 inch footprint make it ideal for engine bays and tight fabrication spaces.

Mechanics and fabricators restoring turbocharged systems, custom fuel rails, or intercooler plumbing will find this connector indispensable for stepping up or down hose sizes without requiring additional adapters. Installation requires no special tools—hand-tighten initially, then apply a wrench to achieve proper torque without over-constraining the fitting. Verify that both ports are clean and debris-free before installation, and confirm all hose barbs and AN fittings are compatible with your chosen hose type (rubber, PTFE, braided). This fitting is sold individually, allowing you to purchase only the quantity needed for your specific project, whether a single fuel system retrofit or a multi-circuit performance build.
