Forged from 6061-T6 aluminum and fitted with NBR O-rings, each adapter is made to resist corrosion and maintain a sealed connection under typical automotive and motorsport service conditions. The design combines a 37-degree flare sealing surface on the AN side with an O-ring seat on the ORB side to simplify installation and reduce the number of special components required when reconfiguring fuel rails, pumps, or oil systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the adapter seal between flare and ORB connections?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter uses two different sealing methods matched to each thread type. The 8AN side forms a metal-to-metal seal with a 37° flare surface, while the AN6 ORB side compresses an NBR O-ring into the ORB counterbore to create a pressure-tight barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8AN thread: 3\/4-16 UNF with 37° flare sealing face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAN6 ORB thread: 9\/16-18 UNF with O-ring seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded NBR O-rings for reusable, replaceable sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetal flare plus elastomer O-ring combine to reduce leak points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and performance limits should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapters feature a 6061-T6 aluminum body for strength and corrosion resistance, paired with NBR rubber O-rings chosen for common fuel and oil compatibility.
