Adapter Fitting #10 Male to 1/2 NPT Male

The Adapter Fitting #10 Male to 1/2 NPT Male from RUSSELL is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic connector engineered for applications requiring a reliable transition between AN (Army-Navy) and NPT (National Pipe Thread) systems. This straight adapter fitting serves professionals in automotive, industrial, and mobile hydraulic applications where secure fluid or gas transfer is critical. The adapter eliminates the need for multiple fittings and reduces potential leak points in high-pressure or high-temperature environments.

Constructed from aluminum and finished with blue anodization, the Adapter Fitting #10 Male to 1/2 NPT Male provides corrosion resistance and lightweight durability essential for demanding installations. The #10 AN male thread connects directly to standard AN hose assemblies, while the 1/2 inch NPT male end threads into NPT-ported components, valve blocks, or manifolds. The straight configuration ensures proper flow alignment and minimizes turbulence, while the aluminum construction keeps overall weight under 0.08 lbs without compromising structural integrity or pressure rating. Blue anodizing enhances visibility in system identification and offers protection against oxidation in varied industrial environments.

This adapter is ideal for technicians and engineers retrofitting older NPT-based systems to modern AN hose standards, or integrating components from different manufacturers into unified hydraulic circuits. Installation requires only standard wrenches—no special tools needed. The compact footprint (5.1 inches in length) fits tight engine bays and equipment enclosures where space is limited. Verify NPT thread pitch and pressure ratings before installation to ensure compatibility with your specific system requirements and fluid type.
