Male -3AN to Male 1/8in NPT 90 Degree Fitting

The Male -3AN to Male 1/8in NPT 90 Degree Fitting is a precision hydraulic adapter engineered for systems requiring angled fluid transfer between AN (Army-Navy) and NPT (National Pipe Thread) ports. This fitting serves critical roles in tactical hydraulic assemblies, aircraft systems, and specialized military equipment where space constraints or directional flow requirements demand an offset connection. Built by Vibrant Performance, a trusted name in high-performance fluid systems, this adapter bridges two industry-standard connection types with reliable accuracy.

The 90-degree configuration eliminates the need for multiple fittings and reduces system complexity, delivering cleaner hose routing and improved pressure integrity in demanding environments. The -3AN male thread (3/16-inch ID equivalent) connects securely to the 1/8in NPT male port, allowing bidirectional fluid flow without compromise. The compact design—weighing just 0.03 lbs and measuring 3.54 x 1 x 6.3 inches—makes it ideal for applications where weight and space are critical factors. Vibrant Performance's manufacturing standards ensure consistent thread pitch and seal geometry, minimizing leak risk under full operating pressure.

This fitting benefits technicians and engineers assembling modular hydraulic systems, from mobile military platforms to precision ground support equipment. Compatibility spans any system using AN hose assemblies that require connection to NPT-threaded ports—common in fuel systems, coolant loops, and pressurized fluid circuits. Installation is straightforward: apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT side, hand-tighten the AN coupling to initial contact, then torque to manufacturer specification. Proper installation ensures years of leak-free operation in field conditions ranging from desert operations to cold-weather deployments.
