8AN Male to 1/2in Tube Adapter Fitting Black

The 8AN Male to 1/2in Tube Adapter Fitting in black anodized aluminum is a precision hydraulic and fuel line connector engineered for high-performance automotive, motorsports, and industrial applications. This straight-end adapter bridges AN (Army-Navy) threaded ports to standard 1/2-inch tubing, making it essential for custom fuel systems, cooling loops, and pressurized fluid transfers. Built by FRAGOLA, a trusted manufacturer of racing and performance fittings, this adapter is designed for builders and technicians who demand leak-free connections and reliable durability under demanding conditions.

The 8AN Male thread pattern accommodates AN-sized ports commonly found on fuel injectors, carburetors, fuel pumps, and engine blocks, while the 1/2-inch tube end accepts standard hose or rigid tubing via compression fittings. Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting resists corrosion and provides a clean, professional appearance in engine bays and fuel system builds. The straight configuration eliminates flow turbulence and simplifies installation in space-constrained environments, while the precision machining ensures compatibility with industry-standard hose clamps and compression hardware.

This adapter is ideal for custom fuel system fabrication, EFI conversions, high-performance engine swaps, and pressurized cooling applications where aluminum construction and compact sizing are advantageous. Installation requires standard wrenches and compatible AN thread sealant or thread tape; the lightweight design (0.07 lbs) minimizes impact on overall system weight. Compatible with both rigid aluminum and flexible rubber tubing, this FRAGOLA fitting integrates seamlessly into fuel rails, fuel cell circuits, and intercooler plumbing—making it a versatile choice for street machines, track vehicles, and engine rebuild projects where precision matters.
