90 Deg 12 AN to 1/2in Pipe Alum. Adapter

The 90 Deg 12 AN to 1/2in Pipe Alum. Adapter is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic fitting designed to bridge two different fluid-handling systems with a reliable 90-degree angle connection. This adapter serves industrial, automotive, and motorsports applications where space constraints require a compact directional change between 12 AN (JIC) male threads and 1/2 inch NPT male pipe threads. Built for technicians and engineers who demand leak-free performance under pressure, this fitting is essential for custom fluid systems, fuel delivery, coolant loops, and pneumatic setups.

Constructed from aluminum with blue anodized finish, the 90 Deg 12 AN to 1/2in Pipe Alum. Adapter combines lightweight durability with corrosion resistance. The blue anodize coating protects against oxidation and enhances visual identification in complex plumbing assemblies. The 90-degree elbow geometry eliminates the need for separate tubing bends, reducing installation complexity and potential failure points. AEROQUIP's engineering ensures precise thread tolerances: the 12 AN male end accepts standard -12 JIC hose and fittings, while the 1/2 inch NPT male side threads into female NPT ports on manifolds, pumps, and tanks. This dual-thread design allows seamless integration between metric and imperial systems common in retrofit and custom builds.

Technicians and system integrators benefit most from this adapter when consolidating mixed-standard components or redirecting flow paths in confined engine bays and machinery housings. Real-world applications include drag racing fuel systems, hydraulic power steering upgrades, coolant manifold connections, and industrial pneumatic networks where both JIC and NPT standards coexist. Installation requires standard wrench sizing on both ends; PTFE thread sealant tape is recommended for the NPT male side to ensure a leak-proof seal. The lightweight aluminum construction (0.2 lbs) makes it ideal for weight-sensitive applications without sacrificing strength. Verify port thread sizes and pressure ratings before installation to ensure compatibility with your system's operating parameters.
