Podavelle 3AN Male to 3/8-24 Male Inverted Flare Stainless

Podavelle AN3 to 3/8-24 male inverted flare stainless steel adapters convert 3AN fittings to standard 3/8-24 inverted flare brake or fuel connections for a secure, corrosion-resistant join.

These two-piece adapters are precision-machined from 304 stainless steel to link AN3 braided lines with components that use 3/8-24 inverted flare threads. They are designed for automotive and motorsport use where durability, fluid compatibility, and leak-free performance matter. Because they bridge different thread and flare standards, these fittings simplify retrofits, upgrades, or repairs without modifying existing steel brake lines.

How will this adapter fit my existing brake or fuel lines?

The Podavelle adapter has an AN3 (3/8-24 UNF) male side that mates with 3AN hoses and a 3/8-24 inverted flare male end that threads into places designed for 3/16" steel brake lines. This lets you connect braided flex lines to master cylinders, wheel cylinders, calipers, or other components that accept the inverted flare interface. Always verify thread and flare types on both components before installation.

• AN3 (3/8-24 UNF) male to 3/8-24 inverted flare male
• Works with master cylinders, calipers, wheel cylinders, and adapters
• Ideal for mixing AN braided hose with older inverted-flare systems
• Pack of 2 for dual-line or spare needs

What fluids and environments are these adapters compatible with?

Made from 304 stainless steel, these adapters resist corrosion and handle a wide range of fluids encountered in automotive systems. They are suitable for brake fluid, clutch fluid, oil, fuel, methanol and water, making them versatile in both street and race applications. For aggressive chemical exposure or specific high-temperature systems, confirm compatibility with your fluid supplier.

• 304 stainless construction resists rust and pitting
• Compatible with brake fluid, oil, fuel, methanol, and water
• Suitable for automotive, motorsport, and custom plumbing work
• Not intended for pressurized gaseous systems

Are these adapters ready for DIY installation, and what should I watch for?

While the adapters are straightforward parts, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct flare seating, thread engagement, and torque values. Improper installation can cause leaks or component damage. If you proceed yourself, use correct flare fittings, clean threads, and proper torque; bleed brake systems thoroughly after any line work.

• No installation instructions included — professional fitting advised
• Inspect threads and flares for damage before assembly
• Use proper torque and follow vehicle manufacturer procedures
• Always bleed lines and test for leaks after installation

Why choose 304 stainless steel adapters for brake and fuel lines?

304 stainless steel balances strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability, making it a common choice for fittings exposed to road salts and fuels. Unlike plated or mild-steel fittings, 304 stainless provides longer life in harsh conditions and reduces the risk of rust-related failure. Its durability also supports repeated maintenance cycles without degrading sealing surfaces.

• Long-term corrosion resistance compared with carbon steel
• Holds sealing faces through repeated assembly/disassembly
• Reliable performance in road and track environments
• Precision-machined for consistent thread and flare geometry

Who is this for: The Podavelle AN3 to 3/8-24 male inverted flare adapter pack is aimed at mechanics, racers, and DIY enthusiasts who need to join AN braided hoses to legacy inverted-flare brake or fuel fittings. It’s useful for restorations, performance upgrades, and custom plumbing where mixing fitting standards is required. If you’re unsure about compatibility or installation, have a certified technician fit and pressure-test the system to ensure safety and reliable operation.
