#8flare 90 Elbow Union

The #8 flare 90 elbow union is a precision hydraulic and fuel system adapter built for serious automotive builders and high-performance mechanics who demand reliability in critical fluid transfer applications. This 90-degree elbow fitting connects two 8 AN (JIC) male ports at a right angle, making it essential for custom fuel lines, brake systems, and power steering configurations where space constraints or routing geometry requires a compact bend. Whether you're fabricating a fuel cell installation, rerouting lines during an engine swap, or building a custom cooling circuit, this adapter eliminates the need for loose hose sections and potential leak points.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, the #8 flare 90 elbow union resists corrosion and oxidation while maintaining visibility in engine bays for system identification and troubleshooting. The flare connection design—standard on 8 AN hose and hard line systems—creates a metal-to-metal seal that holds pressure reliably under vibration and thermal cycling, outperforming compression fittings in high-vibration automotive environments. The compact 90-degree geometry reduces fitting count in complex plumbing runs, lowering assembly time and minimizing potential failure points where multiple adapters would otherwise be required.

Engine builders, race mechanics, and custom fabricators benefit most from this fitting when designing fuel systems for carbureted conversions, EFI retrofits, or turbo installations where factory routing no longer applies. The 8 AN sizing accommodates high-flow applications—fuel systems up to 400+ hp naturally aspirated or supercharged platforms—making it suitable for both street restorations and competition vehicles. Installation requires standard SAE flare wrenches and pipe sealant on threaded ports; ensure all hose ends are properly flared per JIC 37-degree standards for leak-free assembly.
