#8 Male AN Union

The #8 Male AN Union by Triple X Race Components is a straight-through adapter fitting designed to connect two 8 AN male ports in high-pressure fluid systems. Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this compact union maintains full flow integrity while providing a reliable, sealed connection for fuel, hydraulic, and coolant lines in motorsports, racing, and performance automotive applications.

The black anodized aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and durability under demanding engine bay conditions, while the 8 AN port sizing ensures compatibility with Triple X Race Components fuel systems, fuel rails, and plumbing networks. The straight-through design (male-to-male) eliminates flow restrictions compared to offset adapters, making it ideal for precision fuel delivery and hydraulic control applications where pressure rating and flow capacity are critical. At just 0.03 lbs, the union adds negligible weight while maintaining structural integrity under high-pressure cycling.

This fitting is essential for fuel system builders, race car fabricators, and performance technicians who require modular AN plumbing solutions. Whether reconfiguring fuel distribution on a carbureted engine, routing coolant through custom manifolds, or managing complex hydraulic circuits in competition vehicles, this union allows quick repositioning of line connections without breaking the main fuel or fluid rail. The male-to-male configuration works seamlessly with female AN port adapters, fittings, and port blocks standard across Triple X systems and general motorsports standards.

AN (Army-Navy) fittings remain the industry standard in motorsports because of their reliable flange-seal design, which handles thermal cycling and vibration without weeping. The #8 size (1/2-inch nominal ID) sits in the midrange of common automotive fuel and cooling applications, offering ample flow capacity for moderate to high-output engines without oversizing the plumbing.
