Adapter Fitting #6 Male to 1/4 NPT Male

The Adapter Fitting #6 Male to 1/4 NPT Male from RUSSELL is a precision-engineered hydraulic and pneumatic adapter designed to bridge two incompatible connection standards in fluid power systems, fuel lines, and custom automotive applications. This straight adapter fitting is essential for technicians, fabricators, and engineers who need to interface AN (Air and Nitrogen) sized ports with NPT (National Pipe Thread) ports. Whether you're building a custom hydraulic system, upgrading fuel delivery on a race vehicle, or repairing industrial equipment, this adapter solves the mismatch problem reliably and without leaks.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished in blue anodizing, this adapter combines lightweight construction with corrosion resistance—critical properties in high-vibration and high-temperature environments. The blue anodized coating protects against oxidation while allowing visual identification in complex plumbing layouts. The straight geometry eliminates unnecessary bends that could restrict flow or create turbulence, maintaining system integrity and efficiency. By directly converting a #6 AN male connector to a 1/4 inch NPT male port, this fitting eliminates the need for multiple adapters or custom fabrication, reducing assembly time and potential failure points.

This adapter is indispensable for motorsports enthusiasts, custom fabricators, and maintenance professionals working with mixed-standard fluid systems. It's particularly useful in fuel system upgrades, transmission coolers, brake line routing, and hydraulic control systems where standardized components don't align. The compact footprint (1.65 x 1.4 x 5.8 inches) allows installation in tight engine bays and equipment cabinets. Verify that your existing #6 AN and 1/4 NPT components are male connectors before purchase to ensure proper fit and seal compatibility.
