The Aluminum 45 Degree Fitting 1/2In NPT 5/8In Barbs (model R4528) is a crucial component for custom coolant and fluid routing in high-performance engine builds. Designed for serious engine builders and performance enthusiasts, this fitting is ideal for fabricating custom cooling systems and relocating radiators.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, this 45-degree elbow fitting features a 1/2-inch NPT male port and a single outlet with dual 5/8-inch hose barbs, allowing for a secure connection to flexible silicone or rubber tubing.
