45 Alum #8flare/3/8in Pipe

The 45 Alum #8 Flare to 3/8 in Pipe fitting from AEROQUIP is an essential hydraulic and pneumatic connector for tactical, military, and law enforcement equipment systems. This aluminum flare fitting bridges 45-degree aluminum tubing with standard 3/8-inch pipe connections, making it ideal for high-pressure fluid transfer applications where compact, lightweight assemblies are critical. Whether you're outfitting mobile command vehicles, portable power systems, or tactical support platforms, this fitting provides the reliability and durability required in field operations.

Constructed from precision-engineered aluminum, the 45 Alum #8 Flare fitting delivers dependable performance across demanding environments while maintaining minimal weight at just 0.07 lbs. The 45-degree flare connection ensures a clean, leak-free seal on aluminum tubing without the need for additional ferrules, while the 3/8-inch pipe thread end accepts standard NPT connectors used throughout military-grade hydraulic and pneumatic systems. AEROQUIP's manufacturing standards ensure tight tolerances and consistent thread geometry, critical factors for maintaining system integrity under pressure fluctuations common in mobile tactical platforms.

Field personnel and equipment technicians rely on this fitting for rapid system assembly, maintenance, and repair of fluid transmission lines in vehicles, generators, compressors, and hydraulic tools used across military and law enforcement operations. The lightweight aluminum construction makes it especially valuable in weight-sensitive applications such as air-mobile operations or portable equipment kits where every ounce impacts operational capability. Installation is straightforward—ensure the flared aluminum tubing is properly prepared and torqued to the manufacturer's specification, then seal the pipe thread end with compatible PTFE tape or thread sealant to prevent leakage in high-vibration environments.
