About this item
Connect a female 1/2-14 NPT port to a 5/8-inch ID hose while keeping the line routed close to the component. This 90-degree EVIL ENERGY NPT to barb adapter is designed for custom fuel, oil, water, and air plumbing where a straight fitting would require excessive hose bend or additional clearance.

Secure the Hose with a Compatible Clamp
Push the correct 5/8-inch ID hose fully over the barb and secure it with a properly sized clamp suitable for the hose material, fluid, temperature, and system pressure. The hose and clamp are sold separately.

6061-T6 Aluminum with Black Anodized Finish
Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and finished with a black anodized coating, this fitting resists corrosion, wear, and chemical exposure for long-term reliability in fuel, oil, water, and air systems.
1500 PSI Working Pressure with Tapered Thread Seal
Rated for 1500 PSI working pressure and temperatures from -64°F to 252°F. The NPT side uses tapered threads for a metal-to-metal seal — apply sealant or PTFE tape on installation to guarantee a leak-free connection.
Universal Fuel, Oil, Water, and Air Compatibility
Safe for fuel, oil, water, and air transfer. Use it on fuel lines, oil cooler feeds, water plumbing, and pneumatic systems. Always pair the barb end with a hose clamp for a secure, leak-free seal.
Before You Order and Install
Match the NPT Port
This adapter has a 1/2-14 NPT male thread and must be installed in a matching female NPT port. It is not compatible with AN, ORB, BSP, metric, or straight-thread ports without the correct adapter.
Match the Hose ID
The hose barb is intended for a 5/8-inch ID hose. Do not select the fitting based only on the hose outside diameter. Verify the hose manufacturer’s stated inside diameter and fluid compatibility before installation.
Plan the Final Barb Direction
Test-fit the adapter before final tightening so the 90-degree barb points in the required routing direction. Do not describe the fitting as swivel-adjustable unless the product has a separate swivel mechanism.
Use the Correct Sealing Method
Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the tapered NPT connection and secure the hose with a properly sized clamp. The hose, clamp, and thread sealant are not included.
Verify the Complete System Rating
Confirm that the fitting, hose, clamp, threaded port, sealant, fluid, temperature, and pressure requirements are compatible. The maximum rating of the completed connection is determined by the lowest-rated component in the system.
