NPT to Straight Male Flare Adapter 1/2" to -8AN

Meet the NPT to Straight Male Flare Adapter 1/2" to -8AN — a compact aluminum connector that bridges a 1/2" NPT male thread with a male -8AN flare end. Its washerless design ensures a clean, direct connection between NPT fittings and AN flare hoses, simplifying installation for performance and automotive applications.

Key features

• Aluminum construction for lightweight, durable performance
• Washerless design that couples a male 1/2" NPT thread to a male -8AN flare
• Finish options include Black, with Blue and Silver also available
• Sold individually
• Suitable for converting NPT to male AN flare fittings without washers

Specifications

• Threading: 1/2" NPT to -8AN male flare
• Material: Aluminum
• Finish: Black (also available in Blue and Silver)

Applications and use cases

• Ideal for automotive and performance fluid systems where a 1/2" NPT male connection must couple to an -8AN flare hose or line
• Commonly used in fuel, oil, and hydraulic line installations that require reliable flare connections
• Particularly useful in tight routing scenarios where washers are impractical or unwanted

Installation tips

• Seal the NPT threads with Aeroseal Thread Sealant (AF98-2023) or a similar PTFE thread sealant for reliable performance
• Attach the NPT side first, then connect the -8AN flare hose; ensure proper alignment to avoid cross-threading
• Avoid over-tightening to preserve the washerless seal and prevent damage to threads
