3/8in female Pipe To #8 Flare

The 3/8in female pipe to #8 flare adapter by AEROQUIP is a straight adapter fitting engineered for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic systems where reliable connections between dissimilar port types are critical. This fitting addresses a common challenge in fluid power applications: connecting NPT (National Pipe Thread) female ports to AN (Army-Navy) male flare configurations without compromising system integrity. Whether you're servicing industrial hydraulic equipment, aircraft systems, or heavy-duty machinery, this adapter ensures leak-free performance in high-pressure environments where precision engineering is non-negotiable.

Constructed from steel and finished with zinc oxide coating, the 3/8in female pipe to #8 flare fitting delivers corrosion resistance and durability across diverse operating conditions. The straight design eliminates flow turbulence and pressure loss while maintaining structural integrity under extreme vibration and thermal cycling. The zinc oxide finish protects the steel substrate from rust and oxidation, extending service life in both indoor and outdoor applications. At just 0.15 lbs with compact dimensions of 2.3 x 1.15 x 3.7 inches, this adapter integrates seamlessly into space-constrained installations without sacrificing strength or performance.

Professionals in aerospace, automotive, agriculture, and industrial hydraulics rely on AEROQUIP adapters for mission-critical applications where connection failures are unacceptable. The 3/8 NPT female port accepts standard tapered pipe threads, while the #8 AN male flare end accommodates JIC 37-degree flare lines—a configuration common in aircraft fuel systems, brake lines, and high-pressure fluid transfer circuits. Installation requires no special tools beyond a wrench; simply ensure both mating surfaces are clean and apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT side for optimal leak prevention. This single adapter eliminates the need for multiple components, reducing assembly time and potential failure points in your system.
