Elbow 45 X #8 Flare X 3/8 NPT

The XRP-XTREME RACING PROD. Elbow 45 X #8 Flare X 3/8 NPT is a precision hydraulic adapter fitting designed for high-performance fuel, coolant, and oil delivery systems in marine engines and closed-loop racing applications. This 45-degree elbow adapter connects an 8 AN male flare port to a 3/8-inch NPT male thread, enabling reliable flow redirection in tight engine compartment layouts where straight runs are not practical.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished in bright blue anodized coating, this fitting resists corrosion in saltwater environments while maintaining full visibility of the connection point. The 45-degree geometry reduces turbulence and pressure drop compared to multiple 90-degree turns, improving flow efficiency in critical fuel and coolant circuits. The flare-to-NPT design accommodates both modern hose systems and legacy port configurations, making it invaluable for engine rebuilds, performance modifications, and warranty-neutral upgrades that preserve factory thread ports.

This adapter serves serious offshore anglers, marine mechanics, and performance boat builders who demand precision fit in confined engine compartments. Whether routing fuel lines around tight manifolds, repositioning coolant feeds during engine resizing, or integrating aftermarket fuel pressure regulators, this fitting handles both routine service and high-RPM racing duty without leakage or fitting creep. XRP's aluminum-flare construction is favored in marine applications where weight savings, visibility, and corrosion resistance combine to extend system service life.
