Is SAE ORB the same as AN ORB?

[Unholy707]

Alright, I need to find odd fittings to make my new pump work with minimal fittings. I need a 1” npt to 16an ORB. Will a 16 SAE ORB be the same as a 16 AN ORB?

Let me help you not make a shit show of this. What fitting is coming from the tank to the pump? What fitting is required from pump to the line?

 

[Unholy707]

pump is going to go directly to the tank (mounted to tank). Pump inlet requires a 16 an orb male. Tank requires a 1” npt male

 

[Unholy707]

So, I’m really looking for a 1” npt male to 16 an orb male

Not sure you will be able to find that combination. The ORB fittings are not as common as the AN’s. Plenty of NPT to AN so no problem on the out side if the pump. There is a 1”x1” (male-male) NPT. I believe the pump inlet will take a NPT as well as a ORB.

Hmm, interesting on the 1-1npt, I wonder if that’s why I see paste on both tank and pump side in setups I see. Been talking through it with @fumanchu182 and we’re both pretty sure the npt to 16 an orb doesn’t exist lol. Going to call PNR in the morning

But then if the pump has to come out, the tank has to be lifted up. So was even considering a 16an female to 16 an orb male but, of course, doesn’t exist/12 is the biggest size

 

[Unholy707]

Ok, this is interesting

 

[Unholy707]

So they just use a regular 16an and paste the crap out of it? Idk about all that..

 

[Unholy707]

Clear a mud. Everything says it takes a 16 an orb, yet Davies Craig’s site says you can use this regular fitting to convert the pump from 16 an to 1” npt 🤔 and the pump doesn’t have a flare inside, not sure how that’s supposed to seal at all

 

[Marc W]

Jeez!!😵‍💫. Look inside the inlet of the pump and see if the far end of that female opening is rounded to accept a male AN.

 

[Marc W]

I bet it is. 😂

 

[Unholy707]

I bet it is. 😂

Pump’s in the mail still won’t have my hands on it until Thursday 🤦‍♂️

 

[Marc W]

Ok, this is interesting

The way I read that is all the pumps after 2014 are AN. That means your fitting from the tank will be male NPT into the tank with a male AN into the pump. Pump out will -16 AN in and out. Done👊

Man I hope so, but summit specifically says it’s an ORB fitting 🤦‍♂️

Yeah I have to call people tomorrow

Lol. This is almost as good as the dipstick mystery. After four years the only part of it I can remember is that I had one in the car. Let us know

I’ll definitely be reporting back, will be useful info for others. The ewp150 is a great pump and has a lot of applications

@Hickster may be the one to answer this question and in the morning he may be the other one and post up as his intelligent self!

He does that once in a Blue Moon!
