- What does -8 ORB to -8AN mean?
- -8 ORB is an 8-size O-ring boss port, sealed by an O-ring against a machined face. -8AN is an 8-size male flare that mates with a 37-degree AN hose end. This fitting adapts one to the other.
- Do I need an O-ring with this fitting?
- The ORB side needs an O-ring to seal against the port face. Confirm whether one is included with your fitting, and use a fuel-compatible O-ring if not.
- Will it work for fuel and methanol lines?
- Yes. Aluminum AN-style fittings like this are common in fuel and water-methanol systems. Check that your fluid is compatible with aluminum and the O-ring material you use.
- Can I use it on a Snow Performance water-methanol kit?
- It is made for Snow Performance systems that use -8 ORB ports. Match the port size and thread on your pump, nozzle body or manifold before ordering.
- How tight should I torque it?
- Snug the ORB side until the O-ring seats against the face; do not over-tighten, as aluminum threads strip easily. Tighten the AN side to standard flare fitting torque.
