7/16-24 to #3 Stl Male Flare Adapter (Pr)

The 7/16-24 to #3 Steel Male Flare Adapter (Pair) is a precision hydraulic fitting designed for marine fuel and cooling systems where dual connections are required. Built by XRP-Xtreme Racing Products, this adapter serves boaters and marine mechanics who demand reliability in high-vibration engine compartments and demanding water environments. The pair configuration means you receive two matching adapters, reducing installation downtime and ensuring consistency across critical fuel or fluid lines.

This straight adapter connects a 7/16-24 inverted flare port to a #3 AN male thread using nickel-plated steel construction—a proven combination that resists corrosion from saltwater exposure and engine heat cycling. The inverted flare design creates a secure, leak-free seal critical for fuel delivery; any seepage in a marine fuel system can compromise engine performance or create dangerous conditions. Nickel plating provides both corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, with steel's inherent strength handling pressure spikes that occur during engine startup and aggressive acceleration.

Marine technicians and performance boaters benefit most from this adapter when fabricating custom fuel systems, upgrading from original equipment, or transitioning between different hardline standards. It fits 1/4-inch hardline tubing and integrates seamlessly into both carburetor and fuel-injected engine setups. Installation is straightforward—hand-tighten initially, then use two wrenches (one on the adapter body, one on the port) to achieve a firm seal without over-torquing, which prevents cracking in saltwater-service applications. Verify thread compatibility with your existing fuel or coolant system before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
