90 Deg. #3 > 1/8 Npt Ste

The EARLS 90 Degree #3 AN to 1/8 NPT Stainless Steel Adapter is a precision hose fitting engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic systems where space constraints require a 90-degree directional change. This adapter converts a 3 AN male port to a 1/8 inch NPT male connection, enabling seamless integration between metric flange systems and standard pipe thread standards. The zinc-plated steel construction delivers corrosion resistance essential for environments exposed to moisture, fuel vapor, and temperature cycling common in high-performance automotive, racing, and industrial applications.

At 0.04 lbs with compact dimensions of 1.15 x 0.5 x 2.95 inches, this fitting minimizes package footprint while maintaining full flow capacity through both ports. The elbow configuration reduces vibration and stress concentration at connection points compared to straight adapters with external elbows. Steel construction rated for high-pressure applications typical of brake lines, fuel systems, and transmission cooler plumbing. The 3 AN standard (widely used in automotive fabrication) mates with industry-standard hose crimps and quick-disconnect couplers, making this adapter a versatile component for custom plumbing applications.

This fitting serves fabricators, restoration shops, and performance builders who need reliable adapter solutions for non-standard port configurations. The 1/8 NPT outlet threads into manifold blocks, gauge adapters, and pneumatic components commonly found in air suspension systems, fuel distribution blocks, and custom cooling circuits. Users benefit from the compact elbow design when routing hoses in tight engine bays or transmission tunnels where straight adapters would require additional tubing bends and fittings.

The 3 AN-to-1/8 NPT conversion bridge is essential for projects mixing modern metric AN plumbing standards with legacy NPT-threaded components. Whether upgrading vintage fuel systems to modern fuel injection lines or integrating aftermarket gauges into existing manifolds, this adapter eliminates the need for multiple intermediate fittings. The zinc-plated finish requires no additional protective coating for most applications and resists corrosion in salt air and off-road environments.
