Brake Quick Disconnect Male -3AN Male inlet

The Wilwood Brake Quick Disconnect Male -3AN Male Inlet (Part No. 260-16769) is a precision fluid coupling component engineered for high-performance brake systems where fast disconnection and reconnection are operationally essential. This clear anodized aluminum fitting enables rapid brake line separation without spillage, a critical capability in racing, off-road recovery operations, and vehicle platforms requiring quick-turnaround maintenance between duty cycles.

The -3AN (AN3) male-to-male configuration matches Wilwood's OEM brake system architecture and integrates seamlessly with associated quick-disconnect female couplers. The aluminum construction keeps system weight minimal while the clear anodized finish resists corrosion and provides visual identification of the fitting's condition. At 0.08 lbs and compact dimensions (3.8 × 0.95 × 5.2 inches), this fitting installs in space-constrained engine bays without adding measurable bulk. The male inlet design allows pressurized brake fluid to flow through without leakage during engagement and disengagement, a requirement met only through precision manufacturing tolerances.

Users working with Wilwood brake kits—whether on vintage car restorations, track-day platforms, or custom off-road builds—depend on OEM-specification fittings to maintain system integrity and performance. This male inlet piece serves operators and builders who need reliable, repeatable disconnects under operational stress. Compatibility with Wilwood quick-disconnect systems ensures no cross-threading or incompatible pairings that could compromise brake safety.

Quick-disconnect brake fittings have become standard in motorsports and high-demand vehicle platforms where service speed and system reliability are non-negotiable. The -3AN standard thread size aligns with industry norms for mid-range brake circuits, making this fitting a foundational component for anyone standardizing their brake infrastructure.
