This is the tank-side connector in a quick-disconnect fuel line assembly, and it mates directly with the EMP 22-05114 female connector to form a complete quick-disconnect pair. If you are replacing one, it is worth checking the condition of the other while you are at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1\/4\" NPT thread is a tapered pipe thread that installs into the female-threaded port on the fuel tank fitting or tank selector valve. NPT threads seal on the thread taper itself, so apply thread sealant tape or a marine-grade pipe thread compound to the threads before installation to ensure a fuel-tight connection. Do not overtighten, as NPT fittings can crack the receiving port if forced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used across a wide range of Mercury outboard portable and built-in tank setups where the standard 1\/4\" NPT quick-disconnect configuration is used. It is a genuine Mercury OEM-style replacement and fits applications where the original Mercury male tank connector has cracked, stripped, or simply worn out from years of connecting and disconnecting the fuel line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt crosses directly with the following part numbers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSierra: 18-8077-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttwood: 8873-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuick-disconnect fuel connectors take more abuse than they get credit for. Every time the fuel line gets connected or disconnected at the dock or during trailering, these fittings do the work. A connector that leaks or fails to seat properly is not something to ignore on a fuel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2205113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840080477428\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54394485702961,"sku":"EMP-22-05113","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/emp-fuel-connector-male-tank-1-4-npt-22-05113-840080477428-1241009417.jpg?v=1780251729","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/emp-fuel-connector-male-tank-1-4-npt-22-05113","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
