8AN 45Deg Male Adapter to 1/2in NPT Male Blue

The 8AN 45Deg Male Adapter to 1/2in NPT Male Blue from Redhorse Performance is a precision hydraulic and fuel system adapter designed for custom automotive builds where port orientation and thread compatibility demand a compact, reliable solution. This fitting bridges two industry-standard connection types—JIC AN hose fittings and NPT pipe threads—making it essential for builders integrating aftermarket fuel systems, turbo supply lines, or custom cooling circuits into vehicles with mixed port configurations.

Constructed with precision machining, the 8AN 45-degree elbow male adapter features an 8AN flange-style inlet that accepts standard 8AN hose fittings, while the 1/2-inch NPT male outlet threads directly into female NPT ports found on fuel rails, pressure regulators, and hydraulic components. The 45-degree offset design minimizes installation complexity in tight engine compartments and reduces stress on hose lines by angling the connection path rather than forcing 90-degree bends. The vibrant blue anodized finish provides corrosion resistance in harsh underhood environments while serving as a visual identifier during system diagnostics and future maintenance intervals.

Street rodders, race car fabricators, and performance tuners will benefit from this adapter's ability to prevent port clashing and allow flexible plumbing layouts that straight adapters cannot achieve. Whether you're fabricating a fuel cell installation or connecting auxiliary fuel systems in a modified engine bay, this fitting is designed to meet the demands of high-performance applications.
