St Alum #8flare/1/2in Pipe

The AEROQUIP St Alum #8 Flare 1/2 in Pipe adapter (FCM2008) is a straight aluminum fitting designed for automotive applications, particularly for bridging #8 SAE flare connections to 1/2-inch NPT pipe threads. This compact connector is ideal for mechanics and fabricators working on custom cooling loops, fuel systems, or brake line assemblies on modified vehicles.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP, a trusted OEM supplier of fluid power components, this straight adapter features aluminum construction for lightweight integration. The #8 SAE flare end is designed to provide a secure seal when mated to matching flare fittings, which can help reduce installation errors, although the use of thread sealant may still be necessary depending on the specific application.

This adapter is particularly beneficial for fabricators, transmission builders, and DIY enthusiasts who are upgrading fuel systems, coolant loops, and brake circuits on street rods, drag cars, and high-performance vehicles. Its compact footprint (2.4 x 1.15 x 3.75 inches) allows it to fit into tight engine bays and custom plumbing layouts without adding unnecessary weight.
