#16 Flare End Bulkhead Union Black

The #16 Flare End Bulkhead Union Black is a straight-through hydraulic bulkhead fitting engineered for high-pressure fluid power systems requiring reliable, leak-free connections through panel walls and equipment housings. This AEROQUIP-manufactured union joins two 16 AN male ports in a compact, sealed configuration ideal for aerospace, industrial hydraulic, and heavy-duty mobile equipment applications where space constraints and pressure integrity are non-negotiable.

Machined from aluminum and finished in durable black anodized coating, this bulkhead union provides superior corrosion resistance and thermal stability across demanding operating environments. The flare end design ensures a positive metal-to-metal seal without relying on elastomer O-rings, enabling operation across a wide temperature range and compatibility with various hydraulic fluids. The straight-through passage maintains full port diameter, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss while the compact 3.45 x 1.8 x 5.25 inch footprint allows integration into tight assembly layouts without sacrificing flow efficiency.

Aircraft maintenance crews, hydraulic system integrators, and equipment manufacturers rely on the #16 Flare End Bulkhead Union Black for mission-critical installations where downtime is costly and failure is not an option. Whether retrofitting existing systems or building new assemblies, this AN 16 male-to-male union delivers the SAE-certified performance and repeatable reliability that AEROQUIP customers have trusted for decades. Installation requires standard flare-compatible wrenches and achieves code-compliant connections on first assembly.
