AN to NPT Swivel 90 Deg #8 x 1/4

The AN to NPT Swivel 90 Deg #8 x 1/4 from Triple X Race Components is a precision hydraulic adapter engineered for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant line routing in competition and modified vehicles. This elbow fitting bridges AN (Army-Navy) fittings—the industry standard for race cars and engine builds—to NPT (National Pipe Thread) ports found on carburetors, fuel regulators, and aftermarket gauges. Mechanics and fabricators rely on swivel 90-degree adapters to simplify installation, reduce stress on hard lines during assembly, and allow micro-adjustments after engine bay modifications.

Built to Triple X's strict racing specifications, this adapter features a swivel design that permits up to 360-degree rotation without disconnecting the line—critical when tight engine bay clearances demand precise alignment. The #8 AN port (1/2-inch hose diameter) pairs with a 1/4-inch NPT female port, making it ideal for fuel pressure sensors, breather lines, or boost control vacuum sources. The 90-degree geometry eliminates sharp bends that weaken hoses and create turbulence in fuel delivery systems. Triple X components are manufactured from aluminum or steel with protective finish, chosen to withstand fuel exposure, thermal cycling, and vibration inherent to high-RPM applications.

Carburetor conversions, EFI retrofits, and fuel system upgrades on street rods, circle-track cars, and drag builds demand reliable adapters that won't leak under load. Fabricators installing aftermarket fuel injection, fuel cells, or remote fuel filters routinely stock #8 AN-to-NPT swivels to bridge components from different manufacturers. Installation requires only standard wrenches; the swivel eliminates the need for secondary bends or custom hoses, saving labor and reducing leak points. Verify line routing and port orientation before final tightening to ensure proper flow direction.
