Adapter #8 Flare X 1/4np Black

The Adapter #8 Flare X 1/4np Black from XRP-XTREME RACING PROD. is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting adapter designed for high-performance fuel and fluid systems in modified vehicles. This straight adapter bridges 8 AN (AN8) male flare connections to 1/4 inch NPT male ports, making it essential for custom fuel rail installations, turbo setups, and race-spec hydraulic plumbing where OEM fittings don't accommodate aftermarket component layouts. Whether you're upgrading a carbureted engine fuel system or integrating auxiliary cooling circuits, this adapter solves real-world fitment challenges in street and competition vehicles.

Constructed from durable aluminum and finished in black anodize, the Adapter #8 Flare X 1/4np Black provides corrosion resistance critical for long-term underhood exposure and fuel-saturated environments. The flared end accepts industry-standard AN8 fittings with 37-degree sealing surfaces, while the 1/4 inch NPT port allows connection to metric or domestic fuel manifolds, gauges, and distribution blocks. Black anodizing not only enhances aesthetics in custom engine bays but also offers a protective oxide layer that withstands heat cycling and chemical exposure—key factors in turbocharged and supercharged applications where peak underhood temperatures exceed 200°F. The compact 2.7 x 1.2 x 4 inch footprint ensures tight fitment in cramped engine compartments without restricting adjacent components.

Mechanics and fabricators rely on this adapter when converting older fuel systems to fuel injection, adapting aftermarket fuel rails to OEM mounting locations, or custom-plumbing auxiliary fuel distribution systems in drag and road-racing applications. It's particularly valuable in LS swaps, fuel cell retrofits, and boost system installations where NPT-threaded ports are integral to existing machinery but must accept modern AN-style quick-disconnect or braided hose connections. Installation requires only hand tools and basic thread-sealant application; ensure all mating surfaces are clean and apply thread locker or PTFE tape to the NPT end for lasting integrity under fuel pressure and vibration.
