#8 x 1/2 MPT 90 Deg Swivel Adapter Black

The #8 x 1/2 MPT 90 Deg Swivel Adapter Black from FRAGOLA is a precision-engineered hose fitting designed for custom fuel, coolant, and hydraulic systems in performance vehicles and engine builds. This adapter bridges 8 AN male ports to 1/2 inch NPT male swivel connections, making it essential for plumbing projects where existing infrastructure uses NPT threads but modern aftermarket components demand AN fittings. Whether you're installing a fuel cell, upgrading cooling lines, or integrating a new hydraulic system, this 90-degree swivel configuration eliminates stress on hoses during installation and vibration cycles.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished in hard-anodized black, this adapter combines lightweight durability with corrosion resistance—critical properties in underhood environments where salt, moisture, and heat degrade inferior fittings. The swivel design at the NPT end allows for final torque-down without rotating the entire AN feed line, reducing installation damage and ensuring leak-free seals on first assembly. The 90-degree elbow geometry provides tight-space routing, particularly useful in engine bays where radial hose runs compete for limited real estate. Compact dimensions (2.7 x 1 x 4 inches) and minimal weight (0.11 lbs) make this fitting ideal for weight-conscious builds without sacrificing strength.

Mechanics and fabricators benefit most from this adapter when retrofitting legacy blocks, carbureted restorations, or converting mechanical fuel systems to EFI with modern fuel rails. It's equally valuable in street rods, race engines, and standalone ECU fuel management setups where NPT tank fittings or engine-block ports must interface with contemporary AN hose and rail assemblies. Proper installation requires applying appropriate sealant to the NPT threads (not the AN port) and using correct torque values for the 8 AN male connection to prevent seizing or leakage under pressure cycles.
