#6 90 Deg Female Flare Swivel

The AEROQUIP #6 90 Degree Female Flare Swivel (FCM2978) is a precision adapter fitting engineered for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid transfer systems. This 6 AN female swivel fitting connects two female AN ports at a 90-degree angle, allowing directional flow changes while accommodating hose movement and vibration through its swivel design. The aluminum construction with blue and red anodized finish provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments while maintaining the lightweight profile critical for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.

The 90-degree configuration eliminates the need for multiple fitting bends in tight-radius installations, reducing potential leak points and pressure losses inherent in complex line routing. The female-to-female swivel design permits hose rotation without loosening the fitting itself, a critical feature in systems subject to thermal cycling or vibration. AEROQUIP's manufacturing standards ensure consistent thread pitch and seal interface geometry, supporting reliable performance across pressure ratings typical of -6 AN applications. Compact dimensions (2.35 x 1 x 4.15 inches) and minimal weight (0.07 lbs) make this fitting suitable for weight-sensitive installations where space constraints demand efficient adapters.

This adapter suits maintenance, repair, and upgrade work on hydraulic systems in mobile equipment, marine vessels, industrial machinery, and performance vehicles. Technicians and system integrators rely on this fitting type when existing line geometry cannot accommodate straight fittings or when directional changes must absorb movement. The swivel feature reduces stress on connected hoses during operation and installation, extending component life in high-vibration or high-temperature duty cycles.

AEROQUIP maintains market leadership in aerospace-grade fluid connectors and adapters, and this fitting reflects decades of engineering focus on pressure retention and durability. Sourcing original AEROQUIP components ensures compatibility with OEM specifications and system performance guarantees that substitute fittings may not provide.
