#8 Ext. Oil Inlet Male Flare to 1/4 NPT Fitting

The XRP-Xtreme Racing Products #8 Ext. Oil Inlet Male Flare to 1/4 NPT Fitting (Part #981687) is a precision-engineered adapter designed for high-performance applications. This fitting is ideal for connecting AN8 male flare connections to 1/4-inch NPT male threads, making it essential for fuel systems, oil delivery lines, and cooling circuits where standard industrial pipe threads must interface with AN-spec quick-connect or hose assemblies.

Constructed from aluminum with a black anodized finish, this fitting resists corrosion while maintaining lightweight properties critical in automotive and marine engine builds. The anodized coating provides protection against oxidation in saltwater and humid environments without adding unnecessary weight. AN8 flare connections excel at maintaining consistent pressure and preventing micro-leaks under vibration and thermal cycling—common stressors in marine propulsion and high-performance fuel systems.

This adapter serves engine builders, marine technicians, and performance enthusiasts working with custom fuel lines, oil coolers, and auxiliary systems. It's particularly valuable in retrofit scenarios where OEM NPT ports must accept AN-specification hose assemblies without requiring complete plumbing redesign. Whether configuring fuel systems or oil delivery lines, this fitting ensures compatibility and reliability.
