#6 Stl Flare to 1/8in NP Adapter

The #6 Steel Flare to 1/8in NP Adapter is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic fitting engineered to bridge AN (Army-Navy) and NPT (National Pipe Taper) port standards in high-pressure fluid systems. Designed for technicians, mechanics, and engineers who maintain or assemble aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment, this adapter eliminates the need for custom modifications or port conversions. It solves a critical connectivity problem: enabling reliable connections between components manufactured to different threading standards without compromise.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP—a trusted leader in fluid power connectors—this adapter features a straight configuration with a male 6 AN flare end connecting to a male 1/8 inch NPT port. The steel construction with zinc oxide plating provides superior corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments, while the flare design ensures a leak-free seal under pressure cycling and vibration. The 1/8 inch NPT thread accommodates low-to-medium flow applications typical in instrumentation lines, lubrication systems, and pressure test points where space constraints or existing port configurations demand a compact solution.

This adapter is ideal for custom hydraulic hose assemblies, restoration of vintage aircraft or equipment, and field repairs where AN components must integrate with NPT-threaded ports. Installation requires no special tools beyond standard wrenches—the flare end accepts a standard hose crimp fitting, while the NPT end threads directly into any 1/8 inch NPT port. Weighing just 0.06 lbs and measuring 4.15 inches in length, it fits seamlessly into tight engine compartments and equipment enclosures. Technicians and DIY builders rely on this adapter for mission-critical systems where connection integrity cannot fail.
