Compact 16AN Male Weld- On Fitting

The Compact 16AN Male Weld-On Fitting from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is engineered for builders and mechanics who demand reliability in custom fuel, oil, and coolant line systems. This fitting serves as a permanent connection point in high-performance automotive builds where threaded adapters fall short. Whether you're fabricating a custom fuel rail, integrating a remote oil cooler, or designing a standalone turbo feed line, this weld-on fitting provides the structural integrity and precision fit that professional-grade plumbing requires.

The 16AN male configuration accepts industry-standard -16 hose fittings and AN adapters, ensuring compatibility with common high-flow fuel systems, hydraulic lines, and cooling circuits. Welding this fitting directly to your custom-fabricated tank or manifold eliminates the risk of vibration-induced loosening that can plague bolted connections in aggressive engine environments. The compact profile minimizes packaging constraints, making it ideal for engine bays where space is at a premium. REDHORSE PERFORMANCE's reputation for precision manufacturing means this fitting maintains tight tolerances and clean welds without porosity or misalignment issues that compromise flow or safety.

Professional fabricators, street rod builders, and motorsport teams rely on this fitting for custom fuel cell installations, remote catch can plumbing, and turbo system integration. It's essential for anyone welding a custom fuel tank, building a standalone oil system, or constructing race-spec cooling lines where OEM ports don't exist. Installation requires basic welding equipment and intermediate MIG or TIG skills; improper welds can compromise the fitting's integrity. Pair this with quality AN hose and proper sizing calculations to ensure your system flows cleanly and withstands sustained pressure cycles without leaks or fatigue failure.
