45 Deg Alum #12 Flare 3/4in Black

The 45 Deg Alum #12 Flare 3/4in Black adapter fitting is an AEROQUIP-engineered solution for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems requiring reliable directional flow control. This 45-degree aluminum adapter bridges 12 AN male flare connections to 3/4-inch NPT male ports, making it essential for custom fluid-power circuits, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and mobile hydraulic applications where space constraints or system geometry demand angled transitions.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, this adapter resists corrosion while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature fluctuations common in field and shop environments. The 45-degree flare configuration allows hose routes to follow tight pathways without sharp bends that compromise flow or create stress concentrations at connection points. The flare-to-NPT design provides a seal interface proven across thousands of industrial installations, with the aluminum body reducing overall weight compared to steel counterparts—a critical advantage in weight-sensitive applications like aerospace ground support or mobile equipment.

Technicians, hydraulic system designers, and maintenance crews benefit from this adapter's versatility across crane systems, loader controls, injection molding presses, and custom fluid-power builds. Installation requires standard AN wrenches and NPT sealing compound or thread tape on the male NPT end; the 12 AN flare connection hand-starts easily to prevent cross-threading. Weighing just 0.16 lbs and compact enough to fit confined spaces, this fitting integrates seamlessly into retrofit projects and OEM equipment where reliable, leak-free performance is non-negotiable.
