AN to NPT 90 Degree #16 x 1

The AN to NPT 90 Degree #16 x 1 adapter from Triple X Race Components is a precision hydraulic and fuel line fitting designed for high-performance motorsports, racing engines, and custom automotive systems. This 90-degree elbow connector bridges two different industry-standard thread types, making it essential for builders who need to integrate components with incompatible port configurations. Whether you're assembling a race car fuel system, brake line routing, or coolant circulation setup, this adapter solves the challenge of connecting AN (Army-Navy) fittings to NPT (National Pipe Thread) ports without compromise.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodize, this fitting combines lightweight durability with corrosion resistance—critical for underhood and exposed applications. The #16 AN male end accepts standard -16 hose and fittings, while the 1-inch NPT male end threads directly into factory or aftermarket components designed for that specification. The 90-degree geometry allows space-efficient routing around engine bay obstacles, reducing hose length and minimizing pressure loss in fuel, oil, or coolant circuits. Black anodized aluminum resists oxidation and provides a professional appearance while maintaining the strength needed for moderate to high-pressure applications typical in racing and performance builds.

Ideal for engine builders, fabricators, and motorsports enthusiasts, this adapter is commonly used in fuel system modifications, turbo kit installations, and cooling system upgrades where original equipment uses NPT ports but your plumbing runs on AN standards. Installation requires only a wrench or hose-end tool; ensure both threads are clean and apply appropriate thread sealant (PTFE tape or liquid) to the NPT end for leak-free operation. Verify that your system pressure and fluid type are compatible with aluminum construction before installation. This single adapter offers reliable, repeatable connections across thousands of racing and high-performance applications worldwide.
