AN To NPT Swivel 90 Deg -8 x 1/4in

The AN To NPT Swivel 90 Deg -8 x 1/4in adapter by ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic fitting designed for high-pressure fluid systems in racing, performance automotive, and industrial applications. This 90-degree swivel connector bridges SAE AN (Army-Navy) male ports to NPT (National Pipe Thread) male ports, enabling secure connections between incompatible thread standards without compromising system integrity. Built for reliability in demanding environments, this adapter serves mechanics, fabricators, and technicians who require leak-free transitions in fuel, coolant, oil, and air lines.

Machined from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the AN To NPT Swivel 90 Deg -8 x 1/4in combines lightweight construction with corrosion resistance and durability. The -8 AN (1/2-inch outer diameter) input connects to a 1/4-inch NPT male output, with a 90-degree offset that redirects flow perpendicular to the incoming line—ideal for tight engine bays or compact manifold spaces. The swivel design allows rotational adjustment during installation, reducing assembly stress on connected components and enabling fine-tuning of line angles without breaking seals. Black anodized aluminum provides superior abrasion resistance and a professional appearance across custom and stock racing platforms.

This fitting excels in race-car fuel systems, transmission cooler lines, vacuum reservoirs, and aftermarket cooling loops where OEM port configurations demand adaptation. The swivel feature is especially valuable in supercharger and turbo intercooler setups, where hose routing must clear engine accessories and bolt patterns. Installation requires compatible -8 AN hose or rigid AN-threaded tubing on the input side and standard NPT-threaded ports or adapters on the output; proper thread-seal tape or compound ensures leak-free operation under pressure. Weight of 0.1 lbs ensures minimal impact on vehicle dynamics, making it ideal for weight-conscious performance builds.
