45 Deg Adapter Fitting #8 x 1/2 MPT

The FRAGOLA 45 Degree Adapter Fitting #8 x 1/2 MPT is a precision aluminum adapter designed for high-performance fluid transfer systems in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. This 45-degree male adapter bridges an 8 AN (male) port to a 1/2-inch NPT (male) threaded connection, enabling reliable integration between metric and imperial threaded components where angular orientation and compact geometry are critical.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodize, this adapter offers corrosion resistance suitable for fuel systems, coolant lines, and hydraulic applications. The 45-degree angle geometry allows system designers to route lines efficiently around engine bays and tight compartments while maintaining clean, leak-free connections. The NPT male thread (1/2-inch) accepts standard pipe fittings, while the 8 AN inlet accommodates hose barbs, swages, and adapters common to performance fuel, oil, and coolant circuits. At 0.08 lbs with compact dimensions of 2 x 1.1 x 4.1 inches, integration is straightforward on both original equipment and custom builds.

This fitting is ideal for custom fuel systems, turbo charge cooling circuits, transmission cooler installations, and any application requiring a gender-specific adapter between SAE straight-thread and NPT tapered-thread ports. Engineers and fabricators building modified vehicles, race cars, marine engines, or custom hydraulic systems benefit from the anodized finish's durability and the adapter's proven reliability across temperature and pressure cycles. Individual unit sales ensure precise inventory control for production runs and field repairs.

FRAGOLA adapters are widely recognized within performance automotive and aviation sectors for consistency and leak resistance. The 45-degree configuration is particularly valued in space-constrained engine compartments where straight adapters would interfere with surrounding components, making this fitting a practical choice for both original engineering specifications and aftermarket system upgrades.
