O-Ring Boss to Male AN 16-ORB to 16AN

The O-Ring Boss to Male AN 16-ORB to 16AN fitting from DRAG RACE SOLUTIONS is an essential hydraulic adapter for serious performance and race vehicle builds. This fitting bridges two industry-standard connection styles, allowing seamless integration between ORB (O-Ring Boss) ports commonly found on modern high-performance fuel systems, coolers, and transmission lines and standard AN (Army-Navy) line assemblies. Whether you're upgrading a fuel delivery system, installing an auxiliary cooler package, or integrating aftermarket hydraulic components, this adapter eliminates the need for custom fabrication and ensures leak-free connections under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

Constructed with precision engineering, the 16-ORB to 16AN adapter features a machined brass or aluminum body with o-ring sealing technology that provides superior reliability compared to traditional thread-seal fittings. The o-ring design eliminates dependency on thread-lock compounds and reduces vibration-induced loosening—critical when dealing with high-rpm engine bays and aggressive suspension setups. The 16 AN size rating (1-inch diameter) accommodates substantial flow rates, making it suitable for fuel systems on turbocharged and supercharged applications as well as transmission coolers on performance automatics. The compact 2.4 x 2.3 x 3.95-inch footprint allows installation in tight engine compartment layouts without sacrificing structural integrity or accessibility.

This adapter is invaluable for race car builders, street rod enthusiasts, and transmission builders who demand bulletproof hydraulic connections. It pairs seamlessly with stainless steel or braided nylon AN hose and fittings from TacticalSurplusUSA's comprehensive lineup, ensuring full system compatibility from source to destination. Installation requires only a wrench and basic mechanical knowledge—simply thread the ORB end into your factory or aftermarket ORB port and attach AN hose to the male AN side using standard AN flare wrenches. Weighting just 0.195 lbs, it adds negligible mass while delivering the durability expected in competition environments where failure is not an option.
