Female to Male Extender Fitting; Size -16AN

The Female to Male Extender Fitting in -16AN size from Vibrant Performance is a critical component for custom fuel, oil, coolant, and brake line routing in modified vehicles. Whether you're building a high-performance engine bay, installing a turbocharger system, or reconfiguring hydraulic lines for a racing application, this adapter extends connection points where direct coupling is impractical or impossible. Mechanics and enthusiasts rely on these fittings to bridge gaps between separated ports without compromising line integrity or requiring expensive custom fabrication.

Constructed with precision engineering, the -16AN extender fitting features a female connection on one end and a male connection on the other, allowing you to stack or extend standard AN hose assemblies with zero leak risk when properly torqued. AN (Army-Navy) specification fittings are manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances; the -16 size accommodates hoses with a 16/16-inch ID and handles substantial fluid flow without pressure loss. Vibrant Performance's aluminum construction and JIC 37-degree flare seat design ensure compatibility with all factory and aftermarket -16AN hoses, while the compact 4.55 x 1.65 x 5.7-inch dimensions fit tight engine compartments and frame rails typical of street and track builds.

This extender is ideal for turbo installations, LS engine swaps, custom cooling loops, and fuel system upgrades where original port spacing doesn't align with modern hose routing. Installation requires only basic hand tools and knowledge of proper AN fitting torque specs (typically 10–15 ft-lbs depending on fitting size). Weighing just 0.13 lbs, the fitting adds negligible mass while maintaining structural rigidity under pressure cycles, making it suitable for both street and competitive motorsports applications where reliability is non-negotiable.
