  • Our take on the -16AN & -20AN ORB to AN Adapters

    These are aluminum-style adapter fittings that convert a male ORB (O-ring boss) port to a male AN flare connection, in -16AN and -20AN sizes. They are aimed at plumbing radiators, electric water pumps, thermostat housings and expansion filler necks on custom and race cooling systems. The key limitation is thread reach: the short ORB threads do not seal in every water pump application, so some pumps need a dedicated conversion adapter on the housing or neck. Compared with standard-length ORB-to-AN adapters, they fit tighter bosses but demand more care in checking thread engagement before assembly.

    About the -16AN & -20AN ORB to AN Adapters

    These adapters connect a male ORB (O-ring boss) thread to a male AN fitting. They come in -16 AN and -20 AN sizes.

    Use them on radiators, electric water pumps, thermostat housings, expansion filler necks, or anywhere a -16 AN or -20 AN male ORB to male AN connection is needed.

    The ORB adapters have short reach threads, so they are not compatible with all water pump applications. An appropriately sized Autoplumb Water Neck Conversion Adaptor on an existing thermostat housing, filler neck or water pump works well in most applications.

    Questions and answers

    What does an ORB to AN adapter do?
    It converts a male O-ring boss port to a male AN flare connection so you can attach AN hose ends and lines. The O-ring seals at the boss face while the AN side takes a flare fitting.
    Will these fit my water pump?
    Not always. The ORB threads are short reach and are not compatible with all water pump applications. Check thread depth on your pump, and use an appropriate conversion adapter on the housing or neck where needed.
    What is the difference between -16AN and -20AN?
    The number is the AN size, which sets the flare and thread dimensions. -16AN is smaller than -20AN, so match the size to your hose end and port.
    Do I need an O-ring with these?
    ORB fittings seal with an O-ring at the boss face, so the correct O-ring for the port size is required. Confirm the port is a true ORB boss and not a pipe thread.
    Can I use these on a radiator or filler neck?
    Yes, they are intended for radiators, expansion filler necks and thermostat housings. On shallow bosses, verify thread engagement before tightening.
