#6 Female Swivel to 1/4mpt Fitting

The #6 Female Swivel to 1/4mpt Fitting is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic adapter designed for professionals who demand reliable fluid transfer connections in demanding environments. This straight-configuration fitting bridges AN (Army-Navy) and NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards, making it essential for system integrators, mobile equipment technicians, and industrial hydraulic specialists working with mixed-standard component assemblies. The swivel design accommodates vibration and thermal expansion without imposing rotational stress on connected hoses or ports.

Manufactured by FRAGOLA and machined from aluminum, this fitting features blue anodized protection that resists corrosion while maintaining visual identification in color-coded systems. The #6 AN female swivel end accepts standard -6 hose or bulkhead adapters, while the 1/4-inch male NPT threaded port connects directly to NPT-compatible components without secondary adapters. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal at 0.04 lbs, critical for aerospace, racing, and mobile applications where mass reduction directly impacts performance. The swivel joint allows up to 360-degree rotation at the connection point, reducing installation complexity and extending service life by eliminating hose fatigue.

This adapter fits seamlessly into custom fuel systems, coolant loops, brake upgrades, and pneumatic control circuits where AN-to-NPT conversion is required. Technicians installing aftermarket cooling systems, fuel injection upgrades, or modular hydraulic manifolds will find this fitting indispensable for bridging legacy NPT ports with modern AN-standard hose assemblies. Installation is straightforward—hand-tightening plus wrench turns on the NPT end ensures leak-free connections without overtightening risks. Verify NPT port thread count (typically 18 TPI) matches your component before ordering.
