Alum Union Reducer #8 Flare- #6 Flare - Bulk

The Alum Union Reducer #8 Flare- #6 Flare - Bulk from AEROQUIP (MPN: FBM2160) is a precision aluminum adapter fitting designed for fuel system, brake line, and hydraulic fluid applications where downsizing AN line sizes is essential. This straight adapter transitions from #8 AN male ports to #6 AN male connections, making it indispensable for custom fuel injection setups, performance brake systems, and fluid distribution manifolds. Whether you're rebuilding a high-performance engine bay or consolidating multiple fuel or brake lines into a compact engine compartment, this reducer handles the critical job of maintaining system integrity while accommodating space constraints.

Manufactured from lightweight aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, the Alum Union Reducer resists corrosion and integrates seamlessly into modern fuel and brake system builds. The anodized surface provides both aesthetic consistency with AEROQUIP's color-coded fitting system and durable protection against the harsh chemical environment of gasoline, methanol, or synthetic brake fluid. The straight design eliminates flow disruption at the transition point, critical for maintaining fuel pressure stability in carbureted or EFI fuel systems and ensuring responsive brake modulation in high-performance applications. Each fitting is precision-engineered to AEROQUIP's exacting standards, guaranteeing leak-free performance under sustained pressure cycles.

Mechanics and fabricators routinely specify this adapter when upgrading to larger-diameter primary fuel or brake lines while maintaining compatibility with smaller-bore engine bay components or gauge feeds. The bulk format is ideal for shops building multiple vehicles or for enthusiasts maintaining a well-stocked fitting inventory. Installation requires standard -6 and -8 AN flare wrenches and is compatible with any aftermarket or OEM fuel system, brake system, or hydraulic circuit using industry-standard flared steel or nickel-plated tubing. Verify that your system operating pressure does not exceed the rated capacity of your connected hose and fittings for optimal safety and longevity.
