45 Deg Adapter Fitting #8 x 1/2 MPT Black

The 45 Deg Adapter Fitting #8 x 1/2 MPT Black by FRAGOLA is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic line adapter designed for high-performance fluid transfer systems. This 45-degree angled fitting bridges two different connection standards—an AN-8 male port and a 1/2-inch NPT male port—making it essential for custom fuel systems, air suspension setups, and industrial fluid distribution. The angled design reduces stress on connected hoses and allows for cleaner routing in tight engine bays and confined spaces where straight fittings would interfere with components.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this adapter combines durability with corrosion resistance—critical for both underhood and exposed outdoor applications. The anodized finish protects against oxidation and extends service life in harsh environments including saltwater and high-vibration settings. At just 0.09 lbs, the compact design measures 2 x 1.2 x 4.05 inches, making installation straightforward without adding bulk to existing assemblies. The NPT (National Pipe Thread) male connection seals effectively with Teflon tape or thread sealant, while the AN-8 male port interfaces directly with standard -8 JIC hose fittings using a 37-degree flare seat for leak-free performance.

This adapter is ideal for automotive enthusiasts, fabricators, and technicians building custom fuel delivery systems, turbocharger coolant lines, or boost-control circuits where standard straight fittings create installation conflicts. The 45-degree angle accommodates component placement without requiring expensive custom-bent hose assemblies. Compatible with any system using AN-8 male and 1/2 NPT male connections, it performs reliably across temperature extremes and maintains integrity under pressure cycling. Installation requires only a wrench or socket set to torque the NPT port to manufacturer specifications—no special tools needed for field service or replacement.
