The Texas Speed 8AN Male to 12mm x 1.5 Metric Male Adapter Fitting joins a -8AN hose end or AN component to a port threaded M12 x 1.5. One side carries a -8AN male flare and the other a 12mm x 1.5 metric male thread, so an AN line can be run straight into a metric-threaded port without stacking a separate thread adapter in between. In this size, -8AN is a common size for higher-flow fuel feed lines, oil cooler lines and remote filter plumbing.
Texas Speed machines its adapter fittings from 6061 aluminum and black anodizes them for corrosion resistance, which keeps the fitting light and durable. The point of a one-piece adapter like this is to remove an extra joint from the line, which saves room in tight spots and cuts the number of potential leak points. Texas Speed rates these adapter fittings as compatible with most fuels, solvents and oils.

FAQ
What does the Texas Speed 8AN to 12mm x 1.5 metric adapter fitting do?
It adapts a 12mm x 1.5 (M12 x 1.5) metric male thread to a -8AN male flare, so a -8AN hose end can be attached directly to a metric-threaded port on a sensor adapter, cooler, regulator or other component without an extra joint.
Is the Texas Speed 8AN to M12 x 1.5 adapter safe for E85 and gasoline?
Yes. Texas Speed states that its adapter fittings are compatible with most fuels, solvents and oils, and the black anodized 6061 aluminum body resists corrosion in fuel and oil service.
What is this 8AN metric adapter fitting made of?
The Texas Speed 8AN male to 12mm x 1.5 metric male adapter is machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in black anodizing, which keeps it lightweight while protecting the surface from corrosion.
Is this a universal part?
Yes. The 8AN male to 12mm x 1.5 metric male adapter fitting is not vehicle specific. It fits any port threaded M12 x 1.5 and connects to any standard -8AN female hose end or adapter.
What other metric thread sizes does Texas Speed offer in a -8AN male adapter?
Texas Speed offers this black -8AN male adapter fitting in several metric male thread sizes, including 10mm x 1.0, 10mm x 1.25, 10mm x 1.5, 12mm x 1.25, 14mm x 1.25, 14mm x 1.5, 16mm x 1.5, 18mm x 1.5, 20mm x 1.5, 22mm x 1.5, 24mm x 1.5. Match the thread diameter and pitch to the port you are connecting to, since a fitting with the wrong pitch will not seal.
