#8 An Flare To 1/2in Pipe

The #8 AN Flare to 1/2in Pipe fitting from Aeroquip is an essential hydraulic and fuel system adapter for custom automotive builds, performance engine swaps, and off-road modifications. This fitting bridges the gap between AN (Army-Navy) flare fittings and NPT pipe threads, allowing seamless integration of high-pressure hoses into factory or custom manifolds without costly rework. Whether you're installing a custom fuel injection system, turbocharger cooler lines, or hydraulic brake upgrades, this adapter eliminates the need for expensive custom-machined solutions.

Aeroquip's #8 AN to 1/2in NPT adapter features precision-engineered flare and pipe threads that guarantee leak-free connections under extreme pressure and temperature cycling. The #8 AN flare (1/2-inch outer diameter) accommodates high-flow applications common in modern forced-induction and fuel system builds, while the 1/2-inch NPT pipe thread end allows direct connection to aluminum or cast-iron manifolds, intercooler tanks, and distribution blocks. Compact dimensions (2.1 x 1.15 x 4.2 inches) and minimal weight (0.17 lbs) ensure it fits tight engine bays without interference, while the durable construction withstands sustained pressure cycles and thermal stress typical in race and street performance vehicles.

This adapter is ideal for engine builders, performance shops, and enthusiasts upgrading fuel delivery, coolant routing, or hydraulic systems where factory fittings don't match modern plumbing standards. Installers benefit from the straightforward flare-and-pipe design—no special tools required beyond standard wrenches, and the proven Aeroquip reputation ensures compatibility with premium braided hose and OEM manifold ports. Works across naturally aspirated, turbocharged, and supercharged applications where system reliability cannot be compromised.
