Elbow 45 X #3 Flare X 1/8 NPT

The Elbow 45 X #3 Flare X 1/8 NPT adapter fitting from XRP-XTREME RACING PROD. is a precision hydraulic connector designed for high-performance marine systems where reliable fluid transfer is non-negotiable. Built for serious boaters and anglers who demand durability in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments, this 45-degree adapter serves as a critical junction point in fuel lines, cooling systems, and hydraulic brake installations. Whether you're upgrading a center console, rebuilding a high-horsepower engine bay, or ensuring fail-safe connections on your vessel's critical systems, this fitting delivers the engineered reliability that water-based operations require.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, the Elbow 45 X #3 Flare X 1/8 NPT combines corrosion resistance with lightweight engineering—essential qualities for marine applications exposed to salt spray and moisture. The 45-degree angle allows space-efficient routing through tight engine compartments while the #3 AN flare connection (3/16" diameter) mates with standard aviation-grade fuel and hydraulic line assemblies, ensuring leak-free seals under sustained pressure and vibration. The 1/8 NPT male thread on the opposing end accommodates standard national pipe thread fittings, creating a bridge between modern flare systems and legacy NPT-threaded components found in many marine installations.

This adapter is ideal for retrofit installations, fuel system relocations, and hydraulic steering or trim-tab repairs on recreational and commercial vessels. Boaters upgrading to modern hose assemblies while retaining existing NPT-threaded manifolds or gauge ports will find this fitting indispensable for maintaining system integrity without costly full-system replacement. Weighing just 0.04 lbs, it installs quickly with standard wrenches and requires no special tools—making it a must-have backup fitting for any serious angler or captain maintaining their own systems or prepared for emergency repairs on the water.
