St Alum #16flare/1in Pipe

The Stainless Steel Aluminum #16 Flare to 1 Inch NPT Pipe adapter fitting is engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic systems requiring reliable port conversion between AN (Air Force-Navy) and NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards. This straight adapter is designed for technicians, mechanics, and engineers who need a proven solution for connecting dissimilar thread types without leakage or performance degradation. The fitting addresses a critical need in fluid power applications where component compatibility across legacy and modern systems demands precision engineering and material integrity.

Constructed from aluminum and finished with blue anodized coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, this adapter features a 16 AN male port on one end and a 1 inch NPT male port on the other. The straight design eliminates flow turbulence and pressure drop commonly associated with angled fittings, making it ideal for high-flow applications. The anodized finish protects against oxidation and wear while maintaining the lightweight properties that make aluminum hydraulic fittings preferred in aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment. Each fitting is manufactured to AEROQUIP specifications, ensuring dimensional accuracy and thread integrity critical for maintaining system pressure integrity.

Professionals working on hydraulic system retrofits, maintenance, or custom fluid power installations will find this adapter essential for bridging port mismatch issues. The straight configuration suits tight mounting spaces and in-line plumbing where elbows create unnecessary complexity. Installation requires standard AN and NPT wrenches; thread sealant compatibility should be verified with system specifications. Weighing just 0.2 pounds, this compact adapter integrates seamlessly into mobile equipment, stationary systems, and portable hydraulic units where weight and reliability are equally critical to operational success.
