#3 Flare 1/8in Pipe Male Black

The AEROQUIP #3 Flare 1/8in Pipe Male Black adapter fitting (SKU AERFCM5187) is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic connector designed for systems requiring secure, leak-free connections in high-pressure applications. This male pipe adapter serves technicians, mechanics, and engineers who demand reliable fluid transfer in automotive, industrial, and mobile equipment environments where durability and consistent performance are non-negotiable.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP—a trusted leader in fluid conveyance systems—this fitting features a black anodized aluminum construction that resists corrosion and wear while maintaining structural integrity under extreme pressure cycles. The #3 flare connection (industry-standard JIC 37-degree flare) couples with a 1/8-inch NPT male pipe thread, creating a dual-connection interface ideal for mixed system configurations. The compact 2.3 × 1.1 × 3.7-inch profile and minimal 0.04-pound weight make installation in space-constrained applications straightforward without compromising sealing performance or thread security.

Hydraulic system technicians and equipment maintenance specialists benefit most from this adapter when retrofitting or repairing systems that integrate legacy NPT-threaded components with modern JIC flare-line standards. Common applications include tractor implement lines, industrial press manifolds, mobile crane circuits, and marine hydraulic systems where transition fittings prevent costly downtime. Installation requires standard wrenching and pipe-thread sealant; compatibility spans any system rated for AN #3 flare connections paired with 1/8-inch NPT ports, ensuring broad serviceability across equipment classes.
