6AN 90Deg Male Adapter to 1/8in NPT Male Blue

The 6AN 90Deg Male Adapter to 1/8in NPT Male Blue from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is a precision adapter fitting engineered for custom fuel, oil, and coolant line routing in performance engine builds. This 90-degree elbow connector bridges two incompatible thread standards—allowing -6AN hose connections to transition smoothly into 1/8-inch NPT threaded ports on fuel rails, filter housings, remote oil filters, and aftermarket manifolds. Mechanics and tuners rely on these adapters when factory hard-line plumbing doesn't match modern -AN hose systems or when space constraints demand compact directional changes.

The adapter features a male 6AN (JIC 37-degree flare) connection on one end and a male NPT tapered thread on the other, with the 90-degree offset eliminating the need for separate elbows and straight adapters—reducing weight and leak points in critical fuel and fluid systems. REDHORSE PERFORMANCE uses precise CNC-machined aluminum or chrome-plated brass construction to ensure reliable sealing under pressure; the blue anodized or powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance and easy identification in tight engine bays. The compact 2.9 x 1.1 x 3.85-inch footprint and lightweight 0.06 lbs design make it ideal for confined spaces where traditional fittings won't fit.

This adapter excels in fuel injection conversions, turbo plumbing upgrades, and remote-mounted fuel filter systems where -AN braided hose offers superior flex and routing over rigid hardline. It's essential for EFI retrofits on older carbureted builds, intercooler coolant loops, and any application requiring pressure-rated connections between modern hose standards and legacy NPT ports. Installation requires hand-tightening the -6AN side and wrench-seating the NPT side to avoid over-torque damage; apply thread sealant (PTFE tape or liquid) to the NPT male threads only. Compatible with fuel, oil, water, and air systems rated within standard automotive fluid pressures.
