#8 Tee w/ #8 Female Bottom Adapter

The #8 Tee w/ #8 Female Bottom Adapter by AEROQUIP (MPN FCM2283) is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic fitting designed for high-performance fluid distribution systems. This adapter tee serves as a critical junction point in applications requiring simultaneous flow in multiple directions, making it essential for aircraft, industrial machinery, racing platforms, and tactical equipment that demands reliable pressure management. The #8 designation refers to AN8 (Army-Navy 8) port sizing, the industry standard for systems operating under demanding conditions where leak-free performance is non-negotiable.

Constructed from aluminum and finished with blue anodized coating, this tee adapter provides corrosion resistance while maintaining lightweight durability across aerospace and motorsport environments. The configuration features one #8 AN female connection on the bottom branch and two #8 AN male ports on the run, allowing flexible system architecture without additional adapters. Blue anodizing not only enhances durability against oxidation but also serves as a quick visual identifier in complex hydraulic line assemblies. The precision-engineered design ensures zero-leak seating when paired with compatible hose assemblies and fittings, critical for systems where fluid loss or contamination poses safety or performance risks.

This AN8 tee adapter is ideal for builders and technicians working on custom hydraulic systems, aircraft fuel distribution networks, high-performance engine cooling circuits, and tactical vehicle fluid management. Installation requires proper thread sealing (PTFE tape or equivalent) and torque specifications per AN standards to prevent vibration-induced loosening. Weighing just 0.15 lbs, the compact 3.5 x 1.8 x 5.25-inch form factor allows integration into space-constrained applications without sacrificing structural integrity. Whether you're upgrading a restored aircraft, building a race engine fuel system, or assembling tactical equipment, this AEROQUIP fitting delivers the reliability and precision expected in mission-critical fluid transfer.
