#6 45 Deg Fem Swivel to Male Flare Adapter

The #6 45 Deg Fem Swivel to Male Flare Adapter (XRP 920406) is a precision-engineered hydraulic fitting designed for high-pressure marine applications where fuel, coolant, or brake lines demand reliable, leak-free connections. Built by XRP-XTREME RACING PROD., this adapter bridges two dissimilar port types—a female swivel inlet and a male flare outlet—making it essential for custom marine plumbing, fuel system upgrades, and engine cooling modifications. Anglers and boaters running twin or triple-engine setups, live wells, or aftermarket fuel systems benefit from the flexibility this adapter provides when original OEM fittings don't align with aftermarket components.

Manufactured from lightweight yet durable aluminum and finished in blue and red anodize, the #6 45 Deg Fem Swivel to Male Flare Adapter handles 6 AN (3/8-inch) hose and tubing with a 45-degree angle connection that optimizes space in tight engine bays and transom installations. The female swivel end rotates independently to prevent twist-induced stress on connected hoses—a critical feature when vibration and thermal cycling are constant on the water. The male flare end seats directly into standard JIC (Joint Industry Council) flare ports, ensuring SAE-rated pressure retention and eliminating the need for additional sealants or thread tape that can degrade under fuel or saltwater exposure.

This adapter excels in applications where space constraints demand angled fittings—fuel distribution blocks, transmission coolers, hydraulic steering systems, and engine manifold upgrades are prime examples. Installation is straightforward: hand-tighten the female swivel onto your hose barb or adapter, then use two wrenches to secure the male flare end into the receiving port, ensuring even pressure to prevent leaks. At 0.07 lbs, the compact 2.8 x 1.15 x 3.65-inch form factor fits into confined spaces without compromising access for future maintenance or winterization service.
