90 Deg Adapter Fitting #8 x 1/2 MPT

The 90 Deg Adapter Fitting #8 x 1/2 MPT is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic connector engineered for high-performance fluid and fuel systems. Designed for technicians, fabricators, and enthusiasts who demand reliable flow redirection in tight spaces, this 90-degree elbow adapter bridges two different port sizes and thread types with a single, compact component. Its angular design eliminates the need for multiple fittings and reduces system complexity, making it essential for custom fuel systems, supercharger installations, and industrial fluid power applications.

Manufactured by FRAGOLA, a trusted name in automotive plumbing, this adapter features a durable aluminum body finished in blue anodizing for corrosion resistance and visual identification. The #8 AN (Aviation Navy) male end accepts standard -8 hose fittings commonly used in fuel, oil, and coolant lines, while the 1/2 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male port connects directly to manifolds, gauges, and reservoir fittings without additional adapters. Blue anodizing not only protects the aluminum substrate but also provides reliable performance across temperature extremes and chemical exposure typical in automotive and industrial environments.

This fitting is ideal for anyone building or modifying fuel delivery systems, turbo installations, or hydraulic circuits where directional changes are necessary. The 90-degree configuration saves real estate in engine bays and confined mounting areas where straight adapters would create routing conflicts. Installation is straightforward—thread the NPT end into a compatible port and connect AN hose via a -8 fitting, using appropriate sealant tape or thread-locking compound on the NPT side. Compact dimensions (2.25 x 1.4 x 4.15 inches) and lightweight construction (0.11 lbs) make it easy to integrate into performance fuel systems, custom cooling loops, and professional-grade pneumatic setups.
