#8 Male Weld Bung Steel

The #8 Male Weld Bung Steel from FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic adapter designed for permanent installation in fluid power systems requiring robust, leak-free connections. This weld-on fitting serves as a termination point or service port in high-pressure applications where threaded or removable fittings are impractical. Engineers and hydraulic system builders choose weld bungs to integrate AN-standard ports directly into manifolds, tanks, and custom fabrications, eliminating the need for separate tapped bosses and ensuring maximum structural integrity.

Manufactured in steel with a natural finish, this bung features an 8 AN male thread port and a 1-inch welding step that provides a generous surface area for full-penetration welds. The 1-inch step diameter allows welders to achieve consistent, reliable fusion with minimal heat distortion, critical for maintaining system pressure ratings and preventing future leaks. Steel construction delivers superior durability over aluminum in high-temperature or corrosive fluid environments, making it ideal for racing hydraulics, industrial machinery, and off-road equipment where system reliability is non-negotiable. The compact 0.75 x 0.75 x 1-inch profile fits tight mounting spaces without sacrificing structural support.

Custom hydraulic system builders, powersports fabricators, and industrial equipment manufacturers benefit most from this weld-on configuration. Installation requires proper TIG or MIG welding by a qualified technician to ensure code compliance and system safety; the bung must be securely welded before pressurization. Once in place, the 8 AN male port accepts standard AN hose adapters, quick-disconnects, or gauge ports, making this bung a versatile foundation for integrated fluid systems. Ideal for brake systems, suspension circuits, and fuel or coolant manifolds where permanent, vibration-resistant connections are essential.
