#12flare/#10flare Reduce

The #12flare/#10flare Reduce adapter from AEROQUIP is a straight-passage hydraulic fitting designed to connect 12 AN male ports to 10 AN male systems. This reducer fitting serves as a critical interface component in fluid power applications where line size transitions are necessary, making it essential for custom hydraulic system builds, industrial equipment assembly, and mobile machinery retrofits. Whether you're upgrading a pressure line, return circuit, or pilot system, this adapter ensures seamless compatibility between different AN port sizes without performance loss.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, the #12flare/#10flare Reduce adapter combines lightweight construction with corrosion resistance suitable for both onboard and ground-based hydraulic systems. The flared connection design—common in high-pressure hydraulic applications—creates a positive metal-to-metal seal that maintains system integrity under demanding conditions. The straight configuration eliminates unnecessary bends, reducing turbulence and pressure drop across the transition, which is critical for maintaining flow efficiency in precision hydraulic circuits. Its compact footprint (3.55 x 1.8 x 5.2 inches) and minimal weight (0.15 lbs) make it ideal for space-constrained installations where every ounce and inch matter.

Hydraulic technicians, mobile equipment mechanics, and industrial system integrators rely on AEROQUIP reducers to streamline complex plumbing configurations without sacrificing reliability. This fitting is commonly used in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, aerospace ground support systems, and marine applications where AN-port standardization dominates. Installation requires standard flare-nut wrenches and hand-tightening techniques familiar to any certified hydraulic technician. Compatibility spans any system using 12 AN male source lines feeding into 10 AN male demand ports, making it a versatile component for both OEM assembly and field service repairs.
