6AN to 5/16in SAE Quick Disconnect Female STR

The 6AN to 5/16in SAE Quick Disconnect Female STR fitting from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is engineered for professional-grade hydraulic and pneumatic systems where rapid fluid transfer and secure connections are non-negotiable. This adapter bridges AN (Army-Navy) and SAE JIC standards—a critical requirement in military vehicles, tactical equipment platforms, and law enforcement apparatus where equipment must interface across multiple supply chains and legacy systems. Quick disconnect couplings eliminate the need for wrenches during field operations, reducing setup time and minimizing contamination exposure in the field.

This female straight (STR) connector accepts a 6AN male port and outputs a 5/16-inch SAE female port, allowing one-way flow control through spring-loaded ball poppets that prevent backflow when disconnected. The straight configuration eliminates elbows or adapters that increase system complexity and failure points. REDHORSE fittings meet or exceed military procurement standards for material strength and thread integrity, with precision machining tolerances that ensure zero-leak performance under pressure cycling—critical in mobile platforms subject to vibration and thermal stress.

Operators and maintenance technicians rely on this adapter when upgrading or repurposing tactical vehicle systems, particularly in custom-built command units, mobile workshop platforms, and rapid-deployment fluid transfer rigs. Its lightweight profile (0.095 lbs) makes it ideal for weight-conscious applications without sacrificing durability. Compatibility spans military-spec hydraulic systems, breathing air supply lines, and fuel transfer apparatus where AN/SAE standardization ensures interoperability across platforms from Humvee fuel bladder systems to portable compressor networks.
