AN To NPT Swivel 90 Deg -12 x 1/2in

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE AN to NPT Swivel 90 Degree -12 x 1/2in adapter fitting (SKU ALL 49599) is a precision hydraulic and fuel line adapter designed to connect AN fittings to NPT ports at a 90-degree angle. This aluminum swivel adapter bridges the gap between -12 AN male connections and 1/2 inch NPT male threads, making it essential for custom fuel system layouts, hydraulic brake installations, and fluid transfer applications in race vehicles, high-performance engines, and industrial equipment where space constraints require angled connections.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodize, this swivel fitting provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile. The swivel feature allows for rotational adjustment during installation, reducing stress on connected hoses and fittings—a critical advantage when working in tight engine bays or chassis configurations where rigid connections create vibration and fatigue stress. The 90-degree geometry enables routing around obstacles and components while maintaining proper fluid flow dynamics. Weight of just 0.22 lbs makes it practical for weight-sensitive applications like motorsports and aerospace work.

This adapter is ideal for automotive fabricators, race engine builders, and restoration specialists who need to transition between AN standard fittings and NPT threaded ports on engine blocks, reservoir tanks, or frame-mounted components. It's commonly used in fuel system upgrades, custom cooling loops, and brake system installations where factory NPT ports require integration with modern AN hose assemblies. The black anodized finish resists oxidation in engine bay environments while providing a clean, professional appearance in exposed installations.
