What is the primary use for this adapter fitting?

This adapter is commonly used to connect components with a 1/4 inch NPT thread to hoses or fittings that use an -8AN connection. It's often found in custom fuel, oil, or other fluid transfer systems.

Why does the fitting have a swivel design?

The swivel feature allows the fitting to rotate independently of the hose or component it's attached to. This makes it much easier to align everything during installation and can help prevent stress on the connection point.

What does the 'NPT' designation mean?

NPT stands for National Pipe Taper. It's a standard thread type used for pipes and fittings, where the threads are tapered to create a seal when tightened.

About this part

Product Details

This Vibrant adapter fitting is made from 6061 aluminum alloy, which keeps it lightweight while still being strong enough for many applications. It's designed to connect a hose with an -8AN fitting to a component that uses a 1/4 inch NPT thread. The swivel design makes it easier to get everything lined up during installation, and it helps ensure a solid, leak-free seal once tightened.

You'll find these fittings commonly used when setting up fuel systems, oil lines, or other fluid transfer setups. The anodized black finish not only looks good but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance. It's a straightforward part that makes adapting different thread types simple and reliable.
