P/C #8 to 1/2 NPT Str Adapter Fitting

The Russell P/C #8 to 1/2 NPT Straight Adapter Fitting (MPN 660493) is a precision-engineered connector designed to bridge two incompatible hydraulic or pneumatic line standards in tactical, automotive, and industrial applications. This adapter converts an 8 AN (Army-Navy) male port to a 1/2-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male connection, enabling seamless integration between systems that would otherwise require complete line replacement or custom fabrication.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this fitting offers corrosion resistance essential for harsh environments—whether deployed in humid coastal climates, high-salt terrain, or demanding field conditions. The anodized surface protects against oxidation while maintaining dimensional accuracy critical for leak-free seals. At just 0.08 lbs, the adapter minimizes system weight without compromising structural integrity. The straight-flow design eliminates turbulence and pressure loss common in 90-degree or elbow fittings, making it ideal for applications where flow efficiency and pressure retention matter.

This adapter is essential for custom hydraulic line construction, fluid transfer systems, air brake assembly, and any application requiring AN-to-NPT conversion. Users installing aftermarket fuel systems, brake line upgrades, or pneumatic equipment benefit from the precision fit that Russell fittings are known for in the specialty fastener market. The combination of 8 AN and 1/2 NPT ports addresses a common sizing gap between modern performance systems and legacy plumbing standards.

Each fitting is individually packaged and ready for immediate installation. Verify thread compatibility and thread sealant requirements for your specific application before assembly.
