#8 x 3/8 MPT 90 Deg Swivel Adapter Black

The FRAGOLA #8 x 3/8 MPT 90 Degree Swivel Adapter in Black (part number 499108-BL) is a precision hose fitting designed to connect AN-sized lines to NPT male threads at a 90-degree angle. This adapter is engineered for applications where space constraints or tube routing demands a right-angle connection, making it essential for high-pressure hydraulic systems, fuel lines, and fluid transfer applications in performance vehicles, marine equipment, and industrial machinery.

The #8 AN male port accepts standard -8 AN hoses, while the 3/8-inch NPT male swivel connection threads directly into female NPT ports without requiring additional adapters. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate freely, reducing installation stress on connected hoses and simplifying alignment during assembly. Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the adapter provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance while maintaining the lightweight characteristics that make aluminum fittings preferred in performance and racing applications. The compact footprint of this fitting—just 1.9 × 1.1 × 4 inches—allows installation in tight engine bays and confined spaces where standard 90-degree elbows won't fit.

This adapter serves automotive builders, marine technicians, and hydraulic system integrators who need reliable right-angle connections between ANJ hose standards and NPT threaded ports. Whether routing fuel lines around engine components, establishing coolant bypass connections, or managing hydraulic fluid transfer in custom systems, the swivel design minimizes hose bending radius requirements and reduces fatigue-related leaks. The black anodized finish coordinates with modern engine bays and resists corrosion in both dry and humid environments, making it suitable for street vehicles, race cars, and offshore applications.
