Industrial 5500-20-16 Hydraulic Fitting 90 Degree NPT

Description:

The 5500-20-16 Hydraulic Fitting is used in hydraulic fluid power systems to provide a 90-degree connection between components while adapting from a larger to a smaller pipe thread size. Commonly installed in hydraulic power units, industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and fluid transfer systems requiring a 1-1/4 in Male NPT to 1 in Male NPT elbow adapter. Maintenance teams and hydraulic technicians use this fitting for system routing, plumbing modifications, and replacement of worn or damaged hydraulic connections.

Applications:

The 5500-20-16 hydraulic fitting is designed for hydraulic and industrial fluid systems where a change in flow direction and pipe size reduction are required. The 90-degree elbow configuration simplifies hose and pipe routing in confined spaces while reducing stress on hydraulic lines. It is commonly used in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, mining equipment, manufacturing facilities, and hydraulic power units.
