ST Alum #3 Flare- 1/8in Pipe - Bulk

The ST Alum #3 Flare - 1/8in Pipe - Bulk is a critical hydraulic and pneumatic fitting engineered for professional automotive, industrial, and custom fabrication applications. This aluminum flare fitting serves mechanics, fabricators, and performance technicians who demand reliable fluid transfer in high-pressure brake systems, transmission coolers, and custom fuel delivery setups. When building or rebuilding vehicle hydraulic systems—whether upgrading to braided steel lines or routing custom plumbing on a frame-off restoration—proper flare fittings are non-negotiable for safety and longevity.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP under MPN FBM2000, this 1/8-inch pipe flare fitting features an aluminum construction that balances weight savings with durability in moderate-pressure applications. The #3 flare specification (SAE 45-degree flare standard) ensures a secure, leak-free seal when properly mated to corresponding flare tubing and male adapters. The compact 1.75-inch overall length and lightweight 0.02-pound specification make this fitting ideal for tight engine bays and custom layouts where space and weight are optimized. Aluminum resists corrosion better than mild steel in automotive fuel and coolant systems, though buyers should verify compatibility with their specific fluid type and system pressure rating.

Automotive restorers, hot-rod builders, and professional mechanics stock bulk quantities of SAE flare fittings to support diverse project needs—from daily-driver cooling system repairs to show-quality fuel system installations on classic and custom vehicles. This bulk offering reduces per-unit cost for shops maintaining inventory or completing multiple builds. Installation requires hand-tightening or wrench adjustment into mating female ports; ensure proper seating to prevent hydraulic leaks under pressure. Verify 1/8-inch pipe compatibility with your tubing and adapter selection before installation.
