#8an To 1/2in Adapter

The #8AN to 1/2in Adapter is a precision hydraulic and fuel system coupling designed to bridge AN (Army-Navy) male fittings with 1/2-inch braze connections. Built for high-performance hydraulic systems, fuel delivery applications, and industrial fluid transfer, this adapter serves technicians and engineers who demand reliable, leak-free connections in demanding environments. Whether you're assembling custom hydraulic lines, restoring classic vehicles, or building aftermarket fuel systems, this weld-on bung provides the versatile interface needed for seamless component integration.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP—an industry leader in fluid transfer solutions—this adapter features a robust steel construction with natural finish, engineered to withstand high pressure and thermal cycling without degradation. The 8 AN male end accepts standard AN hose fittings, while the 1/2-inch braze connection allows secure, permanent installation via brazing or welding onto manifolds, tanks, and custom fabricated components. The compact footprint (2.3 × 1.15 × 3.7 inches) and lightweight design (0.1 lbs) make it ideal for space-constrained applications where weight and clearance matter. Steel construction ensures compatibility with aggressive coolants, hydraulic fluids, and fuel systems across temperature ranges typical of motorsports and industrial use.

This adapter is essential for custom hydraulic line fabricators, race car builders, and restoration specialists who require OEM-grade reliability without OEM pricing. It pairs seamlessly with standard AN hose crimping equipment and works across brake systems, fuel injection setups, and auxiliary hydraulic circuits in performance vehicles and equipment. Installation requires brazing or welding to the 1/2-inch port; once secured, the AN male end accepts push-on or crimped hose fittings without additional adapters. Sold individually, this AEROQUIP FCM2874 adapter is a stocking essential for any shop managing multi-system fluid integration or emergency coupling replacement.
