Podavelle AN6 Male Flare to M16x1.5 O-Ring Adapter — Black Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum, 2‑Pack

Podavelle AN6 male flare to M16x1.5 o-ring adapter is a black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum fitting made to convert AN6 (9/16-18 UNF) hose or line ends to newer GM-style M16x1.5 o-ring power steering ports, sold as a two-piece set.

Many modern steering boxes and pumps use an o-ring style port that doesn’t accept traditional flare fittings. This Podavelle adapter bridges that gap by converting a standard AN6 male flare connection to an M16x1.5 o-ring seal, letting performance hoses and aftermarket lines attach cleanly to GM-style power steering components. The adapters are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a black anodized coating for corrosion resistance and a lightweight installation.

How does this adapter help when swapping steering hoses?

The adapter allows you to retain AN6 lines or aftermarket hoses when your steering box or pump has an M16x1.5 o-ring port. Instead of reflaring or replacing hose ends, you install the adapter into the o-ring port and attach the AN6 line to the male flare thread.

• Converts M16x1.5 o-ring ports to AN6 (9/16-18 UNF) male flare threads
• Sold as a pair for dual-line or spare use
• Eliminates the need for custom hose end fabrication

Is this fitting rated for high-pressure power steering systems?

Yes — the adapter is made to withstand the pressures commonly found in hydraulic power steering systems when installed correctly. Podavelle manufactures it from 6061-T6 aluminum and uses an anodized finish to resist wear and corrosion under daily driving and performance conditions.

• 6061-T6 aluminum body for high strength-to-weight ratio
• Anodized surface helps prevent corrosion at fluid contact points
• Compatible with gasoline and alcohol-based fluids used in many vehicles

Will this fit my vehicle’s steering box or pump?

These adapters are specifically sized for M16x1.5 o-ring style ports and AN6 (9/16-18 UNF) male flare hose ends. Confirm your steering box or pump uses an M16x1.5 o-ring fitting before ordering to avoid mismatches. The listing is intended for the newer GM-style o-ring fittings—older flare-only boxes will not accept it.

• Check port thread: M16 x 1.5 metric o-ring style
• Check hose end thread: AN6 (9/16-18 UNF) male flare
• Use professional verification if unsure about port type

How should I install and maintain these adapters?

Professional installation is recommended to ensure the o-ring seals and flare connections are properly tightened and leak-free. Periodic inspection for leaks and corrosion at the junctions will keep your steering system reliable.

• Install into M16x1.5 o-ring port with correct torque and o-ring in place
• Attach AN6 line to the male flare thread and torque to spec
• Inspect seals and fittings regularly for leaks or wear

Who is this for? This two-piece Podavelle adapter set is designed for DIY mechanics, performance builders, and professional shops converting or upgrading power steering lines where the pump or box uses M16x1.5 o-ring ports but the hoses are AN6 flare style. If you need a lightweight, corrosion-resistant conversion that keeps aftermarket AN6 hoses in place on newer GM-style fittings, these adapters provide a straightforward solution. Note: no installation instructions are included; professional installation is strongly advised.
