8an x 3/8 MPT Straight Adapter Fitting

The 8AN x 3/8 MPT Straight Adapter Fitting by FRAGOLA is a crucial component for custom fuel, coolant, and hydraulic system builds where AN-sized hoses must connect with standard pipe thread ports. This adapter is particularly useful for mechanics working on various applications, from carburetor conversions to fuel injection retrofits.

Designed to maintain consistent flow without direction changes, this straight adapter is ideal for in-line connections where space and pressure retention are critical. The 8AN designation corresponds to a hose size rated for -8 AN hoses, which typically have an inner diameter of 3/8 inch. The 3/8 MPT (male pipe thread) end threads directly into female ports, eliminating the need for additional adapters or reducers.

Builders integrating aftermarket fuel systems, turbo kits, and custom cooling lines will find this fitting invaluable. Its straight configuration reduces the risk of leaks and vibration-induced fatigue at the connection, ensuring reliable performance under both street and race conditions. Weighing only 0.1 pounds and measuring 1 x 1 x 2 inches, it installs easily in tight spaces typical of modern performance builds.
