#3 Flare 90 Deg Elbow Union Black

The AEROQUIP #3 Flare 90 Degree Elbow Union Black (FCM5186) is a precision aluminum hydraulic adapter designed for high-pressure fluid transfer systems where space constraints demand a compact directional change. This 90-degree elbow fitting bridges two 3 AN (Army-Navy) male connections, making it essential for custom hydraulic routing in off-road recovery equipment, aerospace applications, and performance hydraulic systems where standard straight adapters won't fit the available space.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodize, this adapter provides corrosion resistance while maintaining the lightweight properties essential for mobile systems. The flared connection design—common in AN-spec hydraulic systems—creates a metal-to-metal seal that tolerates high pressures without relying on O-rings, reducing leak risk in critical applications. Both ports accept 3 AN male fittings, allowing seamless integration into existing hydraulic lines without adapting down to smaller bore sizes, which preserves system flow capacity and responsiveness.

This elbow union is ideal for builders customizing hydraulic systems for winches, all-terrain recovery rigs, agricultural equipment, and performance machinery where routing efficiency matters. The 90-degree angle eliminates the need for multiple fittings and hose runs, reducing connection points and potential failure sources. AEROQUIP's reputation for OEM-quality hydraulic components means this adapter meets strict pressure and compatibility standards, making it a reliable choice for applications where system integrity is non-negotiable.
