90 Deg Male/Female Pipe Elbow Black

The 90 Deg Male/Female Pipe Elbow Black (FCM5149) is a precision aluminum adapter fitting designed for fluid and pneumatic systems that demand reliable directional changes in tight spaces. This 3/8 inch NPT 90-degree elbow connects male and female NPT threads, making it essential for building custom pneumatic lines, hydraulic assemblies, and high-pressure fluid systems where compact angular transitions are required.

Machined from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting provides corrosion resistance and lightweight performance—critical for systems exposed to moisture or operated in field conditions. The 3/8 NPT threads meet industry-standard specifications for reliable sealing without requiring secondary sealant compounds on tapered NPT connections. The 90-degree angle allows clean directional flow transitions while minimizing pressure drop across the connection point, a key consideration in pneumatic tool operation and fluid delivery systems.

This adapter suits operators building custom pneumatic rigs, assembling air tool systems, or repairing existing hydraulic assemblies where standard 90-degree elbows have failed or require replacement. Weighing just 0.09 lbs, the compact form factor (2.15 x 1.2 x 3.75 inches) fits into confined spaces without creating bulk or obstruction. The male-to-female configuration provides flexibility in daisy-chaining multiple adapters or connecting to existing supply hoses and component inlets.

For anyone assembling or maintaining pneumatic systems—whether for industrial equipment, field operations, or specialized tool rigs—having quality NPT fittings on hand prevents downtime and system failure. The anodized finish extends service life in damp or salt-air environments where bare aluminum would degrade quickly.
