Vibrant 3/8 NPT to 5/16 Barb 90 Degree Fitting
This 90 degree elbow fitting from Vibrant Performance adapts 3/8 NPT male threads to 5/16 inch barb for routing oil lines in tight spaces. It works in performance vehicles race engines and custom fabrication projects needing reliable oil flow. Build dependable oil systems with this precision machined component trusted by shops worldwide.
Key Features
- CNC Machined Aluminum: Built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for high strength light weight and resistance to corrosion in harsh engine environments
- Black Anodized Finish: Durable coating resists wear chemicals and heat while giving a professional black look that matches performance setups
- 3/8-18 NPT Male Thread: Tapered national pipe thread seals tightly into ports on oil blocks pumps and coolers without leaks
- 5/16 Inch Hose Barb: Secure grip for 5/16 ID rubber or braided hoses ensures vibration proof connections under high pressure
- 90 Degree Elbow Design: Compact bend saves space in crowded engine bays for cleaner routing and easier plumbing layouts
Product Notes
- Use thread sealant on NPT side for best leak free seal during assembly
- Inspect barbs and hoses regularly for wear in high heat oil applications
- Small lightweight part ships quickly with minimal packaging
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Apply PTFE tape or pipe sealant to NPT threads only do not use on barb side
- Compatible with standard AN plumbing hardware and oil system components

Fabrication
Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...

Fittings
Automotive fluid system fittings are the hardware that connects hoses, hard lines, and components within fuel, oil, cooling, brake, power steering, and intercooler circuits, and the quality and correct sizing of these fittings directly determines whether a high-performance fluid system remains leak-free under the pressure, temperature, and vibration conditions that race and street performance environments produce. The AN fitting standard, derived from military Aircraft-Navy specifications, provides a consistent thread and flare geometry across fuel, oil, and hydraulic applications that allows interchangeability between brands and simplifies system design by providing a known thread engagement and sealing approach for every connection. Swivel fittings, bulkhead adapters, 45-degree and 90-degree elbow fittings, tee and union adapters, and reducer fittings allow performance builders to route lines through tight spaces and around obstacles while maintaining correct flow area without res...
