The Redhorse Performance 823-12-08-2 is a 45-degree adapter that joins a -12 AN male line connection to a 1/2 inch male pipe-thread port. It's built for fabricators routing fuel, oil, or coolant lines through tight engine bays where a straight fitting won't clear surrounding hardware. The 45-degree bend gives you a controlled change in direction without kinking a hose end or stacking multiple fittings. Machined from aluminum and finished in black anodize, it carries the standard -12 AN sizing used across performance plumbing systems and threads into any matching 1/2 inch female pipe port found on pumps, manifolds, and aftermarket components.
Both ends are male: a -12 AN flare on one side and a 1/2 inch tapered pipe thread on the other, per the manufacturer's specification. The 37-degree AN flare seals against a matching female cone, while the tapered pipe thread seals on the threads themselves and benefits from a thread sealant rated for fuel and oil. Aluminum construction keeps weight low at roughly 0.14 lbs, which matters when you're hanging several fittings off a single manifold. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and matches common black hose ends and adapters. If you need to change the hose-side direction or step the line size, this 45-degree body pairs cleanly with the rest of the AN adapter and swivel fitting range.
Reach for this adapter when a factory or aftermarket component uses 1/2 inch female pipe threads and your system runs -12 AN lines. Common spots include fuel pump inlets and outlets, oil pan returns, surge tanks, and coolant fill bungs. The angle lets you tuck a line away from headers, frame rails, or a hood line that a straight fitting would foul. Pair it with the matching -12 straight hose end and your choice of braided or PTFE hose to finish the run. Questions on sizing or thread compatibility? Our team works with this hardware daily.
It connects a -12 AN male line to a 1/2 inch male pipe-thread port at a 45-degree angle. Use it where a component carries 1/2 inch female pipe threads and your plumbing runs -12 AN flare connections, such as fuel pumps, oil returns, and surge tanks.
Yes. The tapered pipe-thread end seals on the threads, so a sealant rated for fuel and oil is recommended on that side. The -12 AN flare end seals against its mating cone and does not require sealant.
It's machined from aluminum with a black anodized finish, per the manufacturer's specification. The light weight suits multi-fitting manifolds, and the black coating matches common black AN hose ends and adapters while resisting corrosion.
The 45-degree bend changes line direction without kinking a hose or stacking extra fittings. It helps route lines away from headers, frame rails, or a low hood line in tight engine bays where a straight fitting would not clear.
The -12 AN sizing follows the standard 37-degree flare used across performance plumbing, so it mates with standard -12 AN female connections. Confirm the mating port is 1/2 inch female pipe thread before installation.
