45 Alum #16flare/1in Pipe

The 45 Alum #16flare/1in Pipe by AEROQUIP is a precision hydraulic hose adapter designed for high-pressure fluid transfer in performance automotive and industrial applications. This aluminum flare fitting bridges the gap between #16 JIC flare connections and 1-inch pipe thread ports, making it an essential component for custom fuel systems, transmission coolers, power steering upgrades, and brake line modifications. Whether you're building a race engine bay or restoring a classic muscle car, this adapter ensures leak-free connections under demanding conditions.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum alloy, the 45-degree angled design reduces stress on connection points and improves flow dynamics compared to 90-degree configurations. The #16 JIC (Joint Industry Council) flare specification provides a proven seal geometry that won't strip or degrade under thermal cycling or vibration—critical when dealing with fuel, coolant, or high-pressure hydraulic systems. AEROQUIP's manufacturing standards ensure dimensional consistency and material integrity, allowing mechanics and fabricators to trust this fitting in engine bays exposed to extreme heat and continuous pressure fluctuations.

This adapter suits custom fuel system builders, performance transmission cooler installations, and vintage vehicle restoration where NPT (National Pipe Thread) ports must accommodate modern flare-style hoses. Its compact footprint (3.5 x 1.75 x 5.2 inches) and light weight (0.24 lbs) make it ideal for engine bay routing where space is tight. Installation requires standard wrenches—flare nut on the #16 side, pipe wrench on the 1-inch NPT port—ensuring reliable mechanical sealing without specialized tools. Verify port specifications and system pressure ratings before purchase to ensure compatibility with your application.
