Single Male Banjo Adaptr Bolt N12x1.5 to -8AN

The Single Male Banjo Adapter Bolt N12x1.5 to -8AN from VIBRANT PERFORMANCE is a precision fluid-line transition fitting engineered for custom fuel, oil, and cooling system plumbing in modified vehicles. This adapter bridges the gap between metric banjo bolt ports (commonly found on OEM fuel rails, filter housings, and transmission coolers) and aftermarket -8AN hose systems that dominate the performance and motorsports market. Whether you're upgrading a turbocharged engine fuel system, installing a remote oil filter setup, or routing custom coolant lines, this adapter eliminates the need for bulky multi-step conversions and provides a clean, leak-free connection point.

Built with VIBRANT PERFORMANCE's reputation for quality aluminum and steel construction, the N12x1.5 to -8AN adapter maintains structural integrity under high fuel pressure and thermal cycling. The banjo bolt threads into a metric M12 x 1.5 port with a standard 90-degree seating angle, while the -8AN outlet accepts industry-standard JIC or AN hose fittings. The compact profile (measuring just 3.1 inches in length and weighing only 0.065 lbs) minimizes installation footprint in tight engine bays without sacrificing flow capacity. This direct-thread design eliminates adapters-on-adapters, reducing potential leak points and simplifying diagnostics during pressure testing or system modifications.

Technicians and enthusiasts restoring turbo systems, converting to EFI, or relocating fuel filters will find this fitting indispensable for connecting OEM banjo ports to aftermarket fuel rails and filter canisters. It's equally valuable when integrating transmission coolers, engine oil coolers, or custom fuel pressure regulators into existing metric-threaded locations. Proper installation requires applying appropriate thread sealant (such as PTFE tape or anaerobic compound) to ensure pressure-tight seals; the straightforward design makes installation quick and repeatable across multiple vehicles or system upgrades. Compatible with all standard -8AN braided hose and fittings, this adapter streamlines the fabrication process for anyone building or modifying fuel delivery, lubrication, or thermal management systems.
