Machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, each bung features a wide inlet with a deep taper to promote smooth fluid transition and a 37° AN sealing angle to ensure reliable sealing under pressure. They are intended for professional installation and are commonly used in custom tanks, fuel cells, oil pans, radiators, and other applications where a welded aluminum port is preferable.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these bungs improve flow and sealing compared with standard fittings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Podavelle 16AN bungs use a deep inlet taper that reduces turbulence as fluid exits the tank, improving flow efficiency. The 37° AN sealing surface is a standardized angle that mates cleanly with AN-style hoses and fittings to maintain a pressure-tight interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide inlet and deep taper reduce flow restriction and promote smoother discharge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37° AN sealing angle provides consistent, leak-resistant mating with AN fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCNC-machining delivers uniform geometry for predictable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and construction quality can I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bung is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a material known for its favorable strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance when used with non-corrosive fuels and fluids.

If you are designing or modifying fuel cells, oil pans, radiators, valve covers, or custom fluid systems and you require a permanent, AN-compatible inlet or outlet, this pack of two precision-machined fittings offers a lightweight, industry-standard solution. Note: this product requires welding and professional installation; it is not a push-fit or drop-in part.\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do these 16AN bungs require welding?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, these fittings must be welded to the tank or panel; professional welding is recommended for leak-free performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Are these compatible with standard 16AN hoses?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, they are 16AN male (1-5\/16x12UNF) and mate with standard 16AN female fittings and hoses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Podavelle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48086959227038,"sku":"B0CNVKWZ2V","price":30.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/podavelle-16an-front-view.jpg?v=1785910770","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/podavelle-16an-male-weld-on-bung-adapter-pack-of-2-6061-t6-aluminum-cnc-machined","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
