Radium Engineering 8AN ORB Plug vs Radium 6AN ORB to 6AN Male Fitting

These are different parts, not two versions of one. The 8AN ORB Plug is a blanking plug that seals a 3/4"-16 O-ring boss port. The 6AN ORB to 6AN Male Fitting is an adapter that converts a 9/16"-18 O-ring boss port to a male -6AN flare. Buy the plug if you need to close an unused -8AN ORB port. Buy the adapter if you need to run a -6AN hose or line off a -6AN ORB port. Both are anodized billet aluminum from Radium and use FKM (Viton) O-rings rated for oil and fuel. Owners rate Radium's machining and thread quality highly; the main risk with either is ordering the wrong thread size.

  • Choose the Radium 8AN ORB Plug if you need to seal an unused 3/4"-16 O-ring boss port, such as a spare port on a fuel block, oil block or catch can.
  • Choose the Radium 6AN ORB to 6AN Male Fitting if you need to connect a -6AN hose end to a 9/16"-18 O-ring boss port.

Questions and answers

Which one do I need for a fuel pressure regulator port?
Check the port thread. A 3/4"-16 port takes the 8AN plug if you want it closed. A 9/16"-18 port takes the 6AN adapter if you want to run a -6AN line.
Can I use the 8AN plug in a 6AN ORB port?
No. The plug is 3/4"-16 and the 6AN ORB port is 9/16"-18. The threads will not engage correctly.
Are these the same material and quality?
Yes. Both are anodized billet aluminum Radium parts with FKM O-rings for oil and fuel. The difference is function and thread size, not build.
Which lasts longer?
Both last as long as the O-ring. Replace the O-ring when you refit either part, and avoid overtightening the aluminum threads.
Is the 6AN adapter worth stepping up to over a plug?
They are not upgrades of each other. Pick the one that matches what the port needs to do: seal it or feed a line.
