Product Details

Features

  • Adapts -6AN male flare hose to 5/8-18 SAE inverted flare, pressure-side port
  • Fits pre-1980 Saginaw P-series pumps and gearboxes only
  • Not compatible with GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps' metric O-ring ports
  • Aluminum construction rated for high-pressure power steering fluid systems

Description

This -6AN male flare to 5/8-18 SAE inverted flare adapter connects -6AN hose plumbing to the pressure-side port on pre-1980 Saginaw P-series power steering pumps and gearboxes. It's built for custom high-pressure steering hose assemblies and P-series pump conversions.

This is specifically the 5/8-18 inverted flare thread used on pre-1980 Saginaw P-series equipment. It is not the fitting style used on GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps, which use metric O-ring ports (16mm/18mm) instead. Confirm your pump or gearbox generation and port thread before ordering, since P-series and Type II pumps are not interchangeable in port style.


Applications
Fits GM muscle car, truck, and hot rod power steering systems using a pre-1980 Saginaw P-series pump or gearbox with a 5/8-18 inverted flare pressure-side port.

Installation
Threads directly onto a matching 5/8-18 SAE inverted flare port on one end and -6AN hose on the other. Confirm your pump is genuinely pre-1980 P-series, not a GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pump, since the two use different port thread standards entirely.

NOTE: Adapts -6AN hose plumbing to a 5/8-18 SAE inverted flare port — the fitting style used on pre-1980 Saginaw P-series pumps and gearboxes (pressure side). Not the fitting style used on GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps, which use metric O-ring ports (16mm/18mm).

COMMON VEHICLE APPLICATIONS

Q&A

What does this fitting adapt between?
This adapter fitting converts a -6AN male flare connection to a 5/8"-18 SAE inverted flare connection, allowing a -6AN hose to connect to the pressure-side port on compatible pre-1980 Saginaw P-series power steering pumps and steering gearboxes.

Will this fit a GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pump?
No. GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) power steering pumps use metric O-ring ports rather than the 5/8"-18 SAE inverted flare connection used by this fitting.

How do I know if my pump is a P-series or Type II?
Saginaw P-series pumps are the older design typically equipped with an integral "canned ham" style reservoir and SAE inverted flare ports. GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps have a more compact housing and use metric O-ring ports. Verify your pump style and port thread before ordering.

What is this fitting made from?
This fitting is manufactured from lightweight aluminum and features a durable silver finish for corrosion resistance.
