P/C #8 Flare Cap

The P/C #8 Flare Cap is a lightweight aluminum fitting engineered for precision fluid and pneumatic systems in tactical, aerospace, and high-performance hydraulic applications. This AN-style flare cap with black anodized finish provides reliable port protection and sealing across temperature extremes and demanding operational environments where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are non-negotiable.

Manufactured to AN (Armed Forces–Navy) thread standards, the #8 designation specifies a 1/2-inch outer diameter fitting compatible with standard AN hose and tubing assemblies. Aluminum construction keeps system weight minimal—critical in mobile platforms and field equipment—while the black anodized finish protects against corrosion, UV degradation, and oxidation in salt air, humid climates, and extended storage. The flare cap design seats directly onto flared tube ends without additional fittings, reducing connection points and potential leak paths in pressurized systems.

Field technicians, maintenance personnel, and equipment builders rely on AN fittings for system rebuilds, repairs, and custom assemblies. Whether capping off unused ports during troubleshooting, sealing systems during transport, or completing final assembly work, a quality flare cap ensures system integrity and prevents contamination. Individual unit sale allows builders to source exact quantities for single repairs or batch projects without excess inventory.

AN fittings remain the baseline standard across military, commercial aviation, and industrial fluid systems because dimensional consistency and material reliability eliminate guesswork. This P/C #8 cap integrates seamlessly with existing AN tube assemblies and component networks already in service inventory.
