#10flare/#8flare St Unio

The AEROQUIP #10 Flare to #8 Flare Straight Union Adapter (FCM2760) is a precision hydraulic fitting designed to join two AN fluid lines of different sizes in a straight configuration. Built from steel with zinc oxide plating, this adapter delivers reliable performance in high-pressure hydraulic systems where port misalignment or size transitions demand a robust, corrosion-resistant solution.

The straight-union design eliminates elbow configurations, reducing turbulence and pressure drop across the connection point—critical in applications where flow efficiency and system response time matter. Steel construction rated for demanding hydraulic pressures paired with zinc oxide finish provides long-term corrosion resistance, particularly in marine, industrial, and outdoor equipment environments. The #10 AN male inlet accepts larger-diameter hose assemblies, while the #8 AN male outlet interfaces with smaller-diameter lines, making this adapter ideal for stepped hydraulic manifolds or equipment transitioning between different AN port standards.

This fitting serves hydraulic technicians, marine operators, heavy equipment maintenance teams, and off-road vehicle builders who need reliable size transitions in custom or replacement hydraulic circuits. AEROQUIP's reputation for precision manufacturing ensures threads and sealing surfaces meet tight tolerances, reducing leak risk and system downtime. Compact and lightweight at 0.2 lbs, the adapter integrates seamlessly into existing hose routing without adding significant weight or bulk.

AN (Army-Navy) adapter standards ensure compatibility across military equipment, agricultural machinery, aviation, and industrial hydraulic platforms. Zinc oxide protection is particularly valuable in salt-air or high-humidity environments where uncoated steel would corrode rapidly. A single-unit purchase provides immediate fitment without bulk-order requirements.
