Aeroquip adapters are an excellent choice for high quality performance plumbing projects. For connections that are not straight on, a bend in the adapter can make the entire assembly neater-looking and easier to inspect and maintain, giving you the angle you need without all the extra hose that would otherwise be needed to maintain the proper minimum bend radius. This adapter is size -06 AN on one end and 3/8" pipe thread on the other, features a 45 degree bend, and is manufactured from high-quality steel to provide the needed confidence for use in extreme applications. Please note: Eaton Aeroquip fitting tolerances are engineered to match Eaton Aeroquip hose tolerances. The use of Aeroquip fittings on hose supplied by other manufacturers and/or the use of Eaton Aeroquip hose with fittings supplied by other manufacturers may result in the production of unreliable and unsafe hose assemblies and is neither recommended or authorized by Eaton.
