#3 45 Degree AN Bulkhead

The #3 45 Degree AN Bulkhead fitting is a precision aluminum hydraulic adapter designed for high-pressure fluid systems in tactical, aviation, and motorsports applications. This male-to-male bulkhead connector features a 45-degree configuration that allows fluid lines to be routed at an angle, solving space constraints in compact engine bays, avionics compartments, and equipment racks where straight-shot plumbing is impractical. The black anodized aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance while maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential in weight-sensitive environments.

AN #3 size fittings (3/16-inch nominal) are the industry standard for mid-range fluid delivery in aircraft systems, precision machinery, and high-performance automotive applications where reliability is non-negotiable. The 45-degree angle reduces the effective length of the connection compared to a 90-degree elbow while accommodating tight routing requirements. Black anodized aluminum offers superior durability against oxidation and salt-air corrosion, making this fitting suitable for both ground-based and marine-adjacent operational environments. Each fitting is individually packaged and ready for immediate installation into existing AN-compatible line assemblies.

This bulkhead adapter serves technicians, mechanics, and systems engineers who need precise directional control over hydraulic or pneumatic lines without adding bulk or weight. Common applications include aircraft fuel systems, hydraulic brake lines in high-performance vehicles, pneumatic tool routing in compact workshops, and precision instrument cooling lines. The 45-degree offset is particularly valuable in confined spaces where a 90-degree turn would exceed available clearance or create stress on the connected hose.

AN bulkhead fittings represent the gold standard for fluid system connections across military, aerospace, and racing sectors. The male-to-male configuration allows this adapter to serve as either a direct line connector or a bulkhead mount when integrated into a panel or manifold. AN fittings use a flange nut design that creates a positive face-seal, eliminating the common leak points found in NPT or compression fittings. For buyers requiring guaranteed compatibility with existing AN system components, this #3 45-degree bulkhead delivers the precision fit and proven track record of military-grade standards.
