AN to NPT 90 Degree #8 x 3/8

The AN to NPT 90 Degree #8 x 3/8 adapter from Triple X Race Components is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic fitting designed for high-performance racing, marine, and industrial fluid systems. This 90-degree male-to-male adapter bridges AN (Army-Navy) and NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards, eliminating the need for multiple incompatible components. It serves professionals and enthusiasts who require reliable connections between systems using different thread specifications without compromising flow integrity or safety.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished in durable black anodize, this fitting combines lightweight construction with corrosion resistance—essential properties for motorsports and saltwater applications. The #8 AN male connection accepts standard -8 hose assemblies, while the 3/8 inch NPT male port integrates seamlessly with factory or aftermarket pneumatic and hydraulic lines. The 90-degree geometry allows space-efficient routing in tight engine bays, fuel systems, and cooler lines where straight fittings would create installation conflicts. The anodized aluminum reduces thermal conductivity loss and resists oxidation in high-vibration environments typical of racing platforms.

This adapter is ideal for custom fuel systems, intercooler circuits, and pressurized cooling loops in street rods, drag cars, and high-performance watercraft. It accommodates builders transitioning between legacy NPT-threaded components and modern AN hose standards. Proper thread sealant (PTFE tape or anaerobic compound) on the NPT port ensures leak-free operation under pressure. The compact 2.3 x 0.9 x 3.45 inch footprint and minimal 0.07 lb weight make installation straightforward in weight-sensitive racing applications.
