45 Male Elbow #8 To 1/4 Npt Steel Fitting

The 45 Male Elbow #8 To 1/4 NPT Steel Fitting by AEROQUIP is an essential hydraulic and pneumatic adapter for custom fuel systems, intercooler lines, and high-pressure applications in automotive builds. This 45-degree elbow connects #8 JIC (flange) ports to 1/4 NPT (National Pipe Thread) female ports, making it ideal for tight engine bays where space-efficient routing is critical. Whether you're fabricating a custom fuel delivery system, installing nitrous lines, or routing coolant through a turbo setup, this fitting bridges different thread standards without compromise.

Constructed from durable steel with AEROQUIP's proven aerospace-grade engineering, the 45 Male Elbow #8 To 1/4 NPT fitting handles pressure cycles and vibration that destroy inferior brass or aluminum adapters. The 45-degree angle reduces stress concentration points compared to 90-degree elbows, extending line life in high-vibration engine compartments. Steel construction resists corrosion and provides superior thermal stability when exposed to engine heat, coolant, or fuel vapors—critical factors in forced-induction and racing applications where reliability directly impacts performance and safety.

This fitting is essential for fabricators and DIY builders stepping up from stock fuel systems to standalone EFI, custom turbo cooling loops, or aftermarket intercooler plumbing. The #8 JIC male end (0.750" 16-thread standard) interfaces with high-pressure hose assemblies or #8 NPT female ports, while the 1/4 NPT female end accepts pressure gauges, solenoids, or additional adapter fittings. At just 0.16 lbs, it adds negligible weight while delivering reliability that meets OEM-equivalent standards used in professional engine builds and motorsports applications.
