Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and fitted with NBR o-rings, the adapters are designed for high-pressure fuel system environments and wide temperature ranges. The construction and sealing methods are typical of professional-grade aftermarket plumbing components used in motorsport, performance, and custom engine installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this adapter ensure a reliable seal between flare and ORB connections?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter uses a 37° flare face on the AN side paired with an o-ring sealed ORB male on the other, combining two proven sealing methods. When torqued correctly, the flare compresses against the mating seat while the o-ring provides a secondary, pressure-tolerant barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAN side: 37° flare contact for metal-to-metal sealing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eORB side: NBR o-ring compressed in a machined gland for leak resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread match: both AN16 and ORB male use 15\/16-12 UNF threads for compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-seal approach reduces chance of seepage under vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat operating pressures and temperatures can these fittings handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese adapters are rated for typical aftermarket fuel system pressures and a broad temperature window to suit automotive use.

They are ideal for performance engines, custom fuel plumbing projects, and anyone needing a compact, robust adapter pair that meets high-pressure automotive needs. If you work with specialty fuels, verify NBR compatibility; otherwise, these fittings deliver a practical balance of strength, sealing performance, and serviceability for most gasoline and standard petroleum fuel systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Are these adapters compatible with AN16 thread size?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
