#8 to 1in -20 Carb Adapt Fitting Red

The Russell #8 to 1 inch -20 NPT Female Carb Adapt Fitting Red is a straight carburetor adapter fitting designed for fuel system transitions and carb manifold connections in custom engine builds. This compact AN (Army-Navy) standard adapter serves as a critical link between mismatched fuel line sizes, allowing mechanics and enthusiasts to integrate aftermarket carburetors, fuel injection systems, or fuel distribution blocks into existing engine bay configurations.

Manufactured by Russell, a recognized leader in automotive hydraulic and fuel system components, this adapter features precision-machined aluminum construction with a bright red anodized finish for corrosion resistance and visual identification in tight engine compartments. The straight design eliminates flow restrictions and pressure drop that can occur with elbow fittings, making it ideal for fuel delivery systems where consistent pressure and volume matter.

The #8 AN male connection accommodates standard braided stainless or rubber fuel hose, while the 1 inch -20 NPT female threaded port ensures a secure, vibration-proof seal on carb mounting studs or fuel block inlets. This fitting is particularly beneficial for those upgrading to a high-flow carburetor or retrofitting a legacy fuel system into a modern platform, providing a reliable connection without the need for extensive custom fabrication.
