Straight Adapter Fitting ; Size: -6AN x 1/4in NPT

The Vibrant Performance straight adapter fitting -6AN x 1/4in NPT is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic connector designed for fluid transfer systems requiring mixed port configurations. This adapter bridges -6 AN (JIC flare) and 1/4-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections, making it essential for custom fuel systems, oil lines, coolant loops, and compressed air applications where two different thread standards must interface. Engineers and fabricators rely on these adapters to eliminate costly custom hose assemblies and reduce system complexity.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this straight adapter delivers corrosion resistance and lightweight performance without sacrificing durability. The -6 AN male connection uses a 37-degree JIC flare design for a secure, leak-free seal under high pressure, while the 1/4 NPT male port accommodates standard NPT threads found in industrial and automotive manifolds. The straight configuration ensures direct alignment without offset, simplifying installation in tight spaces and reducing turbulence in high-flow applications. Black anodizing provides additional protection against oxidation and UV degradation, extending service life in engine bays and exposed environments.

This fitting is ideal for custom fuel injection tuning, turbocharger oil supply lines, supercharger bypass systems, and aftermarket cooling upgrades where OEM connectors don't align with aftermarket component ports. Technicians value this adapter for its compact footprint (3.25 x 0.75 x 3.65 inches) and minimal weight (0.03 lbs), allowing seamless integration without system redesign. Compatible with any -6 AN hose assembly and standard 1/4 NPT ported components, it suits both street and competition vehicles. Proper PTFE thread tape application on the NPT side ensures maximum pressure retention and eliminates weeping at the connection.
