Straight Adapter Fitting #16 x 1 MPT Black

The Straight Adapter Fitting #16 x 1 MPT Black (model 481616-BL) from FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic and fuel system connector engineered for applications requiring a reliable transition between different port configurations. Designed for professionals and enthusiasts working with high-performance fuel systems, hydraulic lines, and aftermarket engine builds, this adapter serves as a critical junction point where system integrity and leak-free performance are non-negotiable. Whether you're assembling a custom fuel injection system, upgrading hydraulic brake lines, or fabricating a specialized fluid transfer circuit, this fitting delivers the dependable connection your system demands.

Constructed from black anodized aluminum, the Straight Adapter Fitting #16 x 1 MPT Black features a robust male-to-male configuration that connects a 16 AN (dash-16) port to a 1-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male port in a straight-flow design. The aluminum construction provides weight savings critical in motorsports and aerospace applications while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance through anodized finishing. The straight-through geometry eliminates flow restrictions and pressure losses that elbow or offset adapters might introduce, making this fitting ideal for direct, high-volume fluid transfer where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

This adapter excels in race fuel systems, performance cooling circuits, and industrial hydraulic installations where 16 AN and 1 NPT standards intersect. Installation requires standard wrench-friendly hex bodies that accommodate secure tightening without system damage. FRAGOLA's precision manufacturing ensures thread concentricity and port alignment, critical factors in preventing vibration-induced loosening or micro-leaks under pressure cycling. Users assembling custom fuel rails, transmission cooler lines, or aftermarket power steering systems will appreciate the direct male-to-male connection and compact 1.75-inch length, which facilitates installation in confined engine bays and tight chassis layouts.
