Podavelle 8AN Male Flare to 8AN ORB O-Ring Boss Adapter — Black Anodized Aluminum, Pack of 2, 6061-T6

This pair of black-anodized adapters is built to link AN flare plumbing to ORB O-ring boss ports commonly found on fuel pump rails, filters and manifolds. Machined from T6-tempered 6061 aluminum and finished with an anodized surface, they keep weight low while resisting corrosion and wear. The fittings are compatible with a broad range of liquids and gases, including gasoline and alcohol blends; however, they require correct installation and thread sealing for leak-free service.

What does this adapter actually do for my fuel system?

The adapter provides a secure mechanical transition from a -8 AN male flare connection to a -8 ORB O-ring boss port, allowing components with different standards to join without custom plumbing. It preserves the intended sealing method by using an O-ring at the ORB side and the flare mating geometry at the AN side.

• Converts -8 AN male flare to -8 ORB O-ring boss connections
• Maintains proper sealing: O-ring on ORB side, metal-to-metal flare engagement
• Enables direct attachment of hoses, rails or adapters without re-machining ports

How durable and chemically compatible is the Podavelle adapter?

These adapters are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a material known for good strength-to-weight performance in automotive plumbing. The black anodized finish adds abrasion resistance and a layer of corrosion protection, while the underlying aluminum remains compatible with many common fluids.

• 6061-T6 aluminum body for strength and light weight
• Anodized finish for wear and corrosion resistance
• Compatible with gasoline and alcohol fuels, oil, coolant, water, air and gas

Will installation require special tools or procedures?

Installation typically follows standard practices for AN and ORB fittings: ensure clean mating surfaces, use the correct O-ring for the ORB port, and torque to manufacturer specifications. Professional installation is recommended if you're not experienced with fuel-system plumbing to prevent leaks or damage.

• Use a proper O-ring on the ORB side and verify its condition
• Tighten carefully to specified torque—avoid over-tightening the aluminum body
• Inspect hoses and mating components for compatibility before assembly

Can I use these adapters outside of fuel applications?

Yes — the adapter’s materials and finish make it suitable for many fluids and gases beyond fuel, including oil, coolant, water and compressed air, provided all system materials are compatible. Always confirm chemical compatibility and pressure ratings for your specific application.

• Suitable for oil, coolant, water, air and certain gases
• Works with gasoline and alcohol-based fuels when used with compatible hoses and seals
• Not a substitute for pressure-rated specialty fittings without verification

Who this product is for: installers, tuners and DIY mechanics who need a reliable, lightweight adapter to join -8 AN male flare lines to -8 ORB O-ring boss ports. It's ideal for fuel pump rails, aftermarket filters, engine bays where space or swap requirements force differing connector standards, and anyone seeking anodized aluminum fittings that balance corrosion resistance with minimal added weight. If you’re unsure about fitment or torque specs, consult a professional installer to ensure safe, leak-free operation.
