90 Alum #6flare/1/8in Pipe

The 90 Alum #6flare/1/8in Pipe adapter is a critical hydraulic and pneumatic fitting designed to bridge two different port standards in fluid power systems. This 90-degree elbow connector joins a 6 AN (flare) male port to a 1/8 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male port, making it essential for custom line routing, system modifications, and pressure-rated applications where space constraints demand angled connections. Whether you're building a high-performance hydraulic system, reconfiguring industrial equipment, or assembling automotive fuel or coolant lines, this adapter enables seamless integration between legacy and modern component standards.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP under part number FCM2033, this fitting is constructed from aluminum and finished with blue anodized coating for corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. The 90-degree elbow design reduces overall system footprint while maintaining full flow capacity, and the combination of 37-degree flare sealing (6 AN standard) with NPT tapered thread sealing ensures leak-free operation under pressure cycling. The aluminum construction keeps weight minimal—just 0.03 lbs—while delivering reliable performance in aircraft, automotive, and industrial hydraulic applications where both materials science and precision engineering matter.

This adapter is ideal for technicians, engineers, and builders who need to connect incompatible port types without sacrificing performance or safety. It's commonly used in fuel system retrofits, hydraulic brake line routing, coolant recirculation systems, and pneumatic tool installations. Verify compatibility with your system's pressure rating (typically 3000+ PSI for AEROQUIP fittings) and ensure proper torque specifications are applied during installation to prevent leakage and maintain system integrity over time.
