45 Deg Adapter Fitting #6 x 3/8 MPT

The FRAGOLA 45 Deg Adapter Fitting #6 x 3/8 MPT is a precision aluminum adapter designed to connect AN-6 hose ports to 3/8-inch NPT male threads at a 45-degree angle. This compact fitting serves fuel systems, oil lines, coolant circuits, and hydraulic applications where direct connection is impractical and angle adaptation is required. The blue anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion while remaining lightweight—critical for high-performance automotive, marine, and industrial fluid transfer systems.

The adapter combines an AN-6 male port with 3/8-inch NPT male threading, allowing seamless integration into systems using both AN quick-disconnect fittings and standard pipe threads. The 45-degree angle eliminates the need for flexible hose routing in tight engine bays or equipment compartments, reducing complexity and potential leak points. Aluminum construction keeps weight down without sacrificing pressure rating, while the anodized finish provides reliable corrosion resistance in both wet and dry environments. Weighing just 0.06 lbs with compact overall dimensions of 1.7 x 1.55 x 4 inches, this adapter fits into confined spaces where standard straight connectors would interfere.

This fitting is essential for custom fuel system builds, performance cooling system modifications, and hydraulic installations where mixed AN and NPT connections are unavoidable. Professionals building carbureted engines, turbo systems, or custom cooling loops frequently specify angled adapters to improve hose clarity and reduce stress on connections. The FRAGOLA brand is recognized for precision adapter manufacturing and rigorous quality control, making this fitting a reliable choice for applications demanding consistent pressure integrity and long service life.

Angled adapter fittings like this one occupy a specific niche in fluid system design—they solve the layout and clearance challenges that arise when combining equipment or systems with different port standards. Whether for custom automotive fabrication, marine engine upgrades, or industrial equipment modifications, the ability to adapt AN connections to NPT ports at a functional angle provides flexibility that straight adapters cannot deliver.
