TheLastAndTheCurious –
I got this 8AN ORB to ORB swivel fitting for part of my fuel system where the devices needed to be close to each other but have some clocking flexibility. This made the arrangement much more compact and eliminated a hose and three fittings. The swivel action feels quite good, it’s nice and firm out of the bag, no need to tighten. The inside hole is smooth and without burrs, and the inlet/outlet are both radiused for smooth flow.Not a fitting you’ll use very often, but could help make things weigh less overall on your race car.
