90 Deg #10 to 3/8in Alum Adapter Black

The 90 Deg #10 to 3/8in Alum Adapter Black is a critical hydraulic fitting designed to connect systems with mismatched port configurations in high-pressure applications. This 90-degree elbow adapter bridges a 10 AN male inlet to a 3/8 inch NPT male outlet, making it essential for custom fluid transfer lines in aerospace, automotive, and industrial hydraulic setups. Whether you're routing coolant, fuel, or pressure lines around tight engine bays or machinery enclosures, this adapter provides the directional change needed while maintaining system integrity and leak-free performance.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP (FCM5016), this fitting is constructed from aluminum and finished with black anodized coating to resist corrosion and provide visual identification in complex hydraulic networks. The 90-degree elbow geometry allows hose routing in confined spaces without requiring additional elbows or complex manifold setups, reducing assembly time and potential leak points. The 10 AN male thread (dash size 10 AN standard) connects to AN-compatible hose ends, while the 3/8 inch NPT male port accommodates standard pipe thread fittings, making this adapter ideal for bridging AEROQUIP quick-disconnect systems to traditional NPT port equipment.

This adapter serves technicians, fabricators, and restoration specialists who need reliable directional transitions in compact installations—from racing fuel systems and agricultural equipment to marine and military-spec hydraulic networks. Its lightweight aluminum construction (0.12 lbs) minimizes system weight without compromising strength, while the compact footprint (2.35 x 1.15 x 3.75 inches) fits seamlessly into restrictive undercarriage or engine bay layouts. Installation is straightforward: thread the 10 AN male end into your hose assembly or quick-coupler block, then screw the 3/8 inch NPT male outlet into your target port, using appropriate thread sealant for the NPT side to ensure a pressure-tight seal in dynamic service.
