8AN to M18x1.5 AN/JIC Flare Inverted

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE 8AN to M18x1.5 AN/JIC Flare Inverted adapter is a straight-fitting connector designed to bridge 8 AN male ports with M18 x 1.5 inverted flare male threads. This aluminum fitting delivers the reliable pressure integrity required in high-flow hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel system applications where precision connection is essential. Blue anodized construction provides corrosion resistance and clear visual identification in complex system layouts.

The inverted flare connection standard ensures a leak-free seal under dynamic pressure cycling common in performance and industrial systems. AN fittings (Army-Navy specification) are sized by nominal flow diameter; the 8 AN designation supports higher volumetric flow rates while maintaining compact form factor. The M18 x 1.5 metric thread compatibility makes this adapter essential for systems mixing SAE and ISO port standards, eliminating the need for custom fabrication or system redesign. Lightweight aluminum construction at 0.07 lbs minimizes system weight without sacrificing structural integrity.

Technicians and engineers working on vintage racing vehicles, turbocharged engine builds, custom hydraulic assemblies, and dual-standard industrial equipment rely on this adapter to maintain OEM-equivalent performance. The straight configuration provides direct port alignment without offset bends, reducing turbulence and pressure drop across the connection point. REDHORSE Performance fittings are engineered to SAE J518 standards, ensuring compatibility with certified hose, tubing, and component ecosystems. This single-unit offering integrates seamlessly into existing layouts requiring 8 AN to M18 x 1.5 conversion without compromising system reliability.
