45 Deg Adapter Fitting #3 x 1/8 MPT Black

The 45 Deg Adapter Fitting #3 x 1/8 MPT Black by FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic line adapter engineered for applications requiring reliable directional flow management in tactical, military, and professional equipment systems. This compact fitting serves as a critical interface component in fluid power systems where space constraints or system geometry demand angular fluid routing. Designed to military-grade standards, the 45-degree configuration minimizes pressure loss and turbulence while accommodating tight installation spaces common in vehicle-mounted systems, weapons platforms, and specialized operational equipment.

Manufactured from black-finished steel or aluminum alloy, this adapter features a #3 SAE port (0.375" bore) mating with a 1/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT) secondary connection, creating a stepped-down transition ideal for regulated secondary circuits or pilot pressure lines. The 45-degree angle geometry reduces fitting footprint compared to 90-degree alternatives, critical in cramped environments like armored vehicle hydraulic bays or tactical equipment housings. FRAGOLA's precision manufacturing ensures concentricity and thread integrity, preventing leakage under pressure cycling—essential in mission-critical hydraulic systems where failure risks operational compromise.

This adapter benefits hydraulic technicians, military armored vehicle maintenance teams, and weapons systems integrators who require dependable flow control in modular or retrofit applications. It accommodates both SAE flange and NPT threaded manifold systems, making it suitable for cross-platform hydraulic upgrades on legacy and modern tactical platforms. Installation requires standard wrench sizing and applies to medium-pressure applications (typically 3,000–5,000 PSI nominal). Verify port compatibility with your system schematic before ordering to ensure correct SAE port size and thread designation match your existing hydraulic line configuration.
