Female to Male Extender Fitting; Size -8AN

The female to male extender fitting size -8AN is a precision hydraulic and fuel system adapter designed for applications requiring a seamless connection between two male AN ports or to extend an existing female AN line. This straight extender is essential for custom fuel systems, hydraulic circuits, and high-pressure fluid transfer in automotive, marine, and industrial equipment. The -8AN size accommodates flows typical of mid-range engine fuel systems and auxiliary hydraulic applications, making it ideal for builders who need flexible plumbing configurations without sacrificing performance or reliability.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this extender fitting provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. The 1.5-inch length strikes a balance between compact integration and sufficient reach for component spacing, while the straight design ensures minimal turbulence and pressure drop across the connection. The aluminum body is lightweight—weighing only 0.04 lbs—yet robust enough to handle the high-pressure requirements typical of -8AN systems. Black anodizing protects against oxidation and enhances the fitting's aesthetic appeal in visible engine bays and custom installations.

This extender benefits fuel system builders, race car enthusiasts, and hydraulic system integrators who require reliable adapters for non-standard layouts. Installation is straightforward: simply thread the female end onto an existing male -8AN port and connect a second male -8AN line to the male end, using appropriate thread sealant or compression fittings as needed. The -8AN specification ensures compatibility with standard AN hose, tubing, and port configurations found across motorsports, aviation, and industrial equipment. Each fitting ships as a single unit and integrates seamlessly into systems using SAE J518 -8AN male and female ports.
