trying to swap a straight fitting for an elbow, is this one 3/8-18 female NPT on one end and 3/4-16 male JIC 37 flare on the other?

Thread-wise, it is set up exactly that way: one side is 3/8-18 female NPT, and the other side is 3/4-16 male JIC with a 37 degree flare seat. It is a 90 degree elbow, so it changes direction at a right angle instead of staying straight.

Got a tight spot on a hydraulic line where I can't run things straight out of the port. This the kind of fitting that'd let me turn the line 90 degrees right at a 3/8 NPT connection?

For that exact situation, the 90-degree elbow geometry on this adapter is what you'd want. One end threads into a 3/8-18 female NPT port, and the other end gives you a 3/4-16 male JIC 37-degree flare to connect your line to. The right-angle body lets you redirect the hose or tube cleanly without fighting for clearance. It's built from 316 stainless, so it handles the kind of environments where a standard carbon steel fitting wouldn't last.
