45 Deg Alum #8 to 3/8npt Fitting Black

The 45 Deg Alum #8 to 3/8NPT Fitting Black is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic adapter designed for fluid power systems requiring reliable directional flow control and connection transitions. This adapter serves technicians, equipment manufacturers, and maintenance professionals who need to join different port configurations—specifically 8 AN (JIC) male connections to 3/8 inch NPT male ports—without compromise or leakage. The 45-degree angle orientation allows for space-efficient routing in tight installation environments while maintaining full system integrity.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP, a trusted OEM supplier of fluid connectors, this fitting is constructed from aluminum with black anodized finish to resist corrosion and extend service life in demanding conditions. The 8 AN male thread (a JIC standard with 37-degree flare seat) mates securely with the 3/8 inch NPT male thread, creating a dual-standard connection that bridges legacy and modern hydraulic architectures. The black anodized coating provides both aesthetic consistency and protective oxidation that prevents surface degradation, while the aluminum construction keeps overall assembly weight minimal—critical in aerospace, mobile equipment, and industrial hydraulic applications where mass reduction improves efficiency.

This adapter is ideal for retrofit installations, custom manifold fabrication, and equipment repair where existing NPT-ported valves or cylinders must connect to JIC hose assemblies or AN-threaded components. The 45-degree elbow configuration reduces bend radius requirements and prevents kink-induced pressure loss in confined engine bays, cabins, or integrated panel spaces. Whether you're assembling agricultural hydraulics, construction equipment, or specialty automotive systems, this AEROQUIP fitting delivers the cross-standard versatility and proven durability that keeps systems running. Weighing just 0.07 lbs, it installs easily without additional support hardware and integrates seamlessly into existing pressure-rated piping networks rated for standard industrial hydraulic working pressures.
