The Texas Speed 90 Degree 6ORB Swivel to 8AN Male Flare Adapter connects a -6 ORB O-ring boss port to a -8AN hose end at a right angle. The ORB end threads into a straight-thread O-ring port of the kind found on many fuel pumps, regulators, filters and fuel rails, and the 90 degree swivel body lets the -8AN male flare be pointed in the direction the hose needs to run before the fitting is tightened down. That makes it a direct replacement for a straight ORB adapter plus a separate 90 degree hose end in tight engine bays.
Like the rest of the Texas Speed adapter fitting line, this piece is machined from 6061 aluminum and black anodized to resist corrosion from fuel, oil and road exposure. Texas Speed builds its adapters to take extra joints out of a plumbing run, which keeps the assembly compact where space is tight and lowers the total cost of the system compared with stacking several fittings. Texas Speed rates the fitting as compatible with most fuels, solvents and oils, so it suits gasoline, E85 and oil systems.

FAQ
What does the Texas Speed 90 Degree 6ORB Swivel to 8AN Male Flare Adapter connect?
It threads into a -6 ORB O-ring boss port and provides a -8AN male flare at 90 degrees, so a standard -8AN hose end can be attached to a pump, regulator, filter or rail port that uses -6 ORB threads.
What does swivel mean on this 90 degree ORB adapter?
The ORB end and the -8AN male flare end can rotate relative to each other, so the AN outlet can be aimed in the direction the hose needs to run before the fitting is tightened. A fixed 90 degree adapter has to be clocked by the thread engagement instead.
Which ORB sizes does Texas Speed offer with a -8AN outlet?
Texas Speed offers the 90 degree swivel to -8AN male flare adapter in several ORB sizes. This is the -6 ORB version; the other ORB sizes with a -8AN outlet are -10 ORB and 7/8"-20 ORB.
What is the Texas Speed 90 degree -6 ORB swivel to 8AN adapter made of?
The Texas Speed 90 degree -6 ORB swivel to 8AN adapter is machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in black anodizing, which resists corrosion from fuel, oil and road exposure and keeps the fitting light.
Is the 90 degree -6 ORB swivel to 8AN adapter compatible with E85 and gasoline?
Yes. Texas Speed states that its adapter fittings are compatible with most fuels, solvents and oils, so the 90 degree -6 ORB swivel to 8AN adapter can be used on gasoline, E85 and oil systems.
Is this a universal part?
Yes. The Texas Speed 90 degree -6 ORB swivel to 8AN adapter is not vehicle specific. It fits any -6 ORB O-ring boss port and any -8AN female hose end or adapter.
