About this part

Product Details

This Vibrant Performance tube adapter fitting starts with a -8AN male end and transitions to a 1/2 inch tube size, complete with a brass olive insert. It's made from 6061 aluminum alloy, which keeps it lightweight while still being a solid choice for connecting hard lines to AN threads in your fabrication projects.

The brass olive insert is key here; it helps create a secure seal on the 1/2 inch tube when you tighten the fitting. This makes it a convenient way to adapt your existing hard tubing to the common AN fitting system, often used in fuel or vacuum lines where a clean, reliable connection is important.
