EVIL ENERGY 8AN Flare to 8AN ORB 90° Male Swivel Adapter — 6061-T6 Aluminum, NBR O‑Ring Seal

EVIL ENERGY's 8AN flare to 8AN ORB male 90-degree swivel adapter is a high-strength aluminum fitting that joins AN flare lines to ORB-threaded components while providing a sealed, rotatable 90° connection.

This precision-machined adapter converts a 3/4-16 UNF (8AN) flare connection to an 8AN ORB male port with a 37° flare seal on one side and an NBR O-ring on the ORB side. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum for a strong, lightweight joint and rated for routine automotive and industrial fluids, the adapter simplifies tight routing by letting hoses swivel during installation and service.

How does the adapter create a leak-resistant connection?

The flare side seals with a 37° metal-to-metal flare interface, while the ORB side uses an NBR O-ring to compress against the mating port. Together they offer a dual sealing approach suited to fluid systems where both threads and face seals are common.

• 37° AN flare provides established metal sealing geometry.
• NBR O-ring on ORB side yields a flexible elastomeric seal.
• Combined sealing minimizes likelihood of seepage under normal operating conditions.

Will this fitting handle common automotive fluids and temperatures?

Yes — the adapter is compatible with oil, fuel, water, air and many other fluids typically used in vehicles and equipment. Its materials and seals are chosen for general service across a broad temperature range.

• Material: 6061-T6 aluminum for corrosion resistance and strength.
• O-ring: NBR (nitrile) suitable for oil and fuel exposure.
• Temperature tolerance: approximately -40°F to 212°F (-40°C to 100°C).

How does the 90-degree swivel feature help during installation?

The male swivel design lets you rotate the fitting to align hoses without twisting or stressing the hose ends, making routing in tight engine bays or machinery panels much easier. It also simplifies torqueing the connection while maintaining orientation.

• Swiveling action allows final alignment after thread engagement.
• Reduces hose torsion and strain for longer hose life.
• Useful where straight fittings won't clear nearby components.

What size and thread spec should I expect?

This part uses the 8AN standard, which corresponds to a 3/4-16 UNF thread size for the AN flare side, mated to an 8AN ORB male port. Ensure your counter-threaded component accepts an ORB male with an O-ring seal.

• AN side thread: 3/4-16 UNF (8AN standard).
• ORB side: 8AN male with NBR O-ring sealing face.
• 90° orientation for compact routing solutions.

Who this is for: This adapter is designed for mechanics, fabricators, racers and DIY vehicle owners who need a compact, reliable transition between AN flare hoses and ORB-style ports. It fits applications where space is limited and where a rotatable 90° junction speeds installation and reduces hose stress. Use it in fuel, oil, coolant, pneumatic or general fluid systems that match the listed materials and temperature range. As with any fluid fitting, verify compatibility with your specific fluids, pressures and mating parts before installation.
