#10flare/#6flare Reducer

The AEROQUIP #10 Flare to #6 Flare Reducer (FCM2162) is a precision adapter fitting designed to connect hydraulic or pneumatic systems with different port sizes. This straight male-to-male adapter transitions from a #10 AN (5/8-inch) connection down to a #6 AN (3/8-inch) connection, making it essential for system consolidation, component integration, and flow management in high-pressure applications. Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodize, this reducer combines lightweight durability with corrosion resistance in demanding field environments.

The aluminum construction minimizes weight while maintaining the structural integrity required in mobile and off-road hydraulic systems, where every pound counts. The blue anodized finish provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, salt air, and harsh operating conditions—critical for systems exposed to coastal, marine, or outdoor environments. The straight-port design eliminates directional constraints, allowing flexible plumbing layouts without additional elbows or complex routing. At 0.11 lbs and compact in profile, this adapter integrates seamlessly into tight engine bays and equipment frames without adding bulk or interference.

This fitting is engineered for motorsports builders, hydraulic technicians, and equipment specialists who need reliable port reduction without pressure loss or leak points. Off-road recovery systems, custom cooling circuits, brake fluid management, and transmission cooler plumbing all benefit from the certified flow characteristics of AEROQUIP adapters. The reducer is sold individually, so you can stock the exact quantity needed for your project or replacement service inventory.

AEROQUIP has been a trusted supplier of fluid power connectors to OEM and aftermarket builders for decades, setting the performance standard for adapters in military vehicles, emergency response equipment, and extreme-duty platforms. The FCM2162 carries the same engineering rigor and quality control expected from the brand.
