St Alum #12flare/3/4in Pipe

The St Alum #12 Flare / 3/4in Pipe by AEROQUIP is a precision hydraulic fitting engineered for high-pressure fluid transfer in tactical, military, and law enforcement equipment platforms. This aluminum straight flare connector serves as a critical coupling point in hydraulic systems found on tactical vehicles, aircraft, and armored platforms where reliable fluid management is non-negotiable. Built by AEROQUIP, an industry-recognized manufacturer trusted across defense and aerospace sectors, this fitting delivers the durability and precision required in mission-critical applications where system failure is not an option.

The aluminum construction offers a weight-conscious design—critical for platform integration where every pound impacts performance and fuel efficiency—while maintaining exceptional corrosion resistance and structural integrity under extreme pressure and temperature fluctuations. The #12 flare standard (JIC 37° flare) ensures a leak-proof metal-to-metal seal that outperforms alternative connection methods in vibration-heavy environments typical of tactical vehicles and rotorcraft. The 3/4-inch pipe connection diameter accommodates medium-to-high flow-rate hydraulic circuits, making this fitting suitable for primary and secondary system applications where pressure stability and zero leakage are operational imperatives.

This fitting is ideal for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations on military helicopters, armored personnel carriers, tactical support vehicles, and fixed-wing platforms that rely on AEROQUIP hydraulic networks. Technicians and depot-level maintainers will recognize the AEROQUIP standard as equipment-agnostic, meaning cross-platform compatibility with most DOD and NATO-aligned hydraulic system architectures. The compact footprint (3.45 x 1.8 x 5.2 inches) and lightweight profile (0.08 lbs) facilitate field installation without requiring platform modification, making replacement and system upgrades straightforward for mobile maintenance teams operating in forward or austere environments.
