Machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a protective black anodize, the adapters combine corrosion resistance with light weight. The AN side seals on a 37° flare face while the NPT side relies on a tapered 60° thread; proper sealant or PTFE tape is recommended to prevent leaks at the NPT thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this adapter ensure a leak-resistant connection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AN end uses a 37° flare seating surface for a metal-to-metal crush seal, while the NPT end forms a pressure-tight fit when combined with thread sealant.

It’s suited for anyone building or repairing fuel, cooling, or power steering circuits where a durable, compact elbow and a clean black finish are desired. Note: because the NPT side seals on tapered threads, always use a thread sealant or PTFE tape for leak-free service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the NPT end need thread sealant?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
