90 Alum #8flare/3/8in Pipe

The 90 Alum #8flare/3/8in Pipe adapter from AEROQUIP is a precision 90-degree elbow fitting engineered for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems where space is limited and reliability is non-negotiable. This adapter connects AN (Army-Navy) male flare ports to NPT (National Pipe Thread) male ports, making it essential for custom hydraulic line configurations, aircraft systems, industrial equipment, and performance automotive builds. Crafted from lightweight aluminum with blue anodized finish, it delivers corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments.

The fitting features an 8 AN male flare connection on one end and a 3/8 inch NPT male thread on the other, with the 90-degree angle design enabling efficient line routing without sharp bends that could compromise flow or weaken tubing. The aluminum construction provides a weight advantage over steel alternatives—critical in aerospace and racing applications—while the blue anodized surface resists oxidation and maintains appearance over time. AEROQUIP's manufacturing precision ensures leak-free seals when properly installed with appropriate thread sealant on the NPT side and correct flare nut torque on the AN side.

Technicians and builders working with hydraulic systems, fuel injection systems, or compressed air lines will find this adapter invaluable for transitioning between flare-style connections and pipe thread ports. Its compact dimensions (2.35 x 1.05 x 3.8 inches) and minimal weight (0.09 lbs) make it ideal for tight engine bays and weight-conscious applications. Compatible with any system using 8 AN flare tubing and 3/8 NPT ports, it serves as a direct-fit solution for OEM repairs and custom fabrication projects requiring reliable, code-compliant connections.
