- What does -8AN to -8AN ORB mean?
- The -8AN side is a 37-degree male flare that takes a -8AN hose end. The ORB side is a straight male thread that seals with an O-ring against a boss port. Both ends are size 8, roughly 1/2 inch.
- Does it come with the O-ring?
- The fitting is sold as the adapter alone. You supply the O-ring for the ORB side, so check the port's spec before installing.
- Can I use it for brake lines?
- It is intended for fuel, oil and coolant plumbing. Aluminum adapters are generally not recommended for high-pressure brake systems, where steel is the safer choice.
- Will it fit a -8AN hose end from another brand?
- Yes, AN flare sizes are standardized, so any quality -8AN hose end should seat on the flare. Check thread engagement and use a proper AN wrench to avoid marring the aluminum.
- Is it legal on emissions-controlled vehicles?
- The manufacturer lists EMS Code 4, meaning it is legal for sale and use in all 50 states. That covers the part itself; your vehicle's overall emissions compliance is separate.
