St Alum #3flare/1/8in Pipe

The AEROQUIP St Alum #3 Flare/1/8in Pipe adapter (part number FCM2000) is a precision aluminum fitting designed to bridge 3 AN male threads to 1/8 inch NPT male ports. This straight adapter is essential in high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems where reliable, leak-free connections are non-negotiable. The blue anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion while maintaining the low weight critical in aerospace, motorsports, and off-road recovery applications.

AEROQUIP fittings are engineered to exacting standards for pressure containment and flow consistency. The 3 AN to 1/8 NPT conversion allows seamless integration between metric and imperial threaded systems, a common requirement in retrofit applications and cross-platform equipment builds. Aluminum construction keeps weight under 0.1 lbs while delivering the strength required for fluid transfer in demanding environments. The flare-sealed end ensures positive seating on the 3 AN side, critical for preventing blowout under pressure cycles.

This adapter serves engineers, technicians, and system builders working with hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and pneumatic assemblies where port compatibility varies across components. Common applications include aircraft fuel distribution, racing fuel systems, agricultural equipment plumbing, and custom vehicle hydraulic circuits. The NPT thread type (tapered, pipe thread) ensures code compliance for stationary and mobile system work. Individual unit purchase allows precise inventory control for technicians stocking multiple fitting types.

AEROQUIP is recognized in the fluid systems industry for consistency and pressure-rated performance. Aluminum fittings like this FCM2000 are standard across OEM hydraulic designs and aftermarket system assembly, making this adapter a practical repair and build component for anyone working with AN-threaded and NPT-threaded equipment in tandem.
