Radium 6AN ORB to 8AN Male Fitting vs Radium 6AN ORB to 6AN Male Fitting
Both are Radium Engineering 6AN ORB adapter fittings in anodized billet aluminum with FKM O-rings. The difference is the outlet: the 14-0245 steps up to 8AN male, while the other keeps 6AN male. Buy the 14-0245 only if the hose or component downstream is 8AN. If everything in your fuel or oil system is 6AN, the 6AN-to-6AN fitting is the correct, simpler part. Owners of Radium fittings rate the machining and sealing well; the trade-off is that a step-up fitting adds one size change to the line.
- Choose the Radium 14-0245 if your port is 6AN ORB and the hose end or component you are connecting is 8AN male.
- Choose the Radium 6AN ORB to 6AN Male fitting if your port is 6AN ORB and the rest of the line is 6AN, so no size change is needed.
