Str Alum #10 Flare 1/2in Black

The Str Alum #10 Flare 1/2in Black is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic adapter fitting designed to connect 10 AN (JIC) male ports to standard 1/2-inch NPT male threads. Built by AEROQUIP, a leader in fluid-handling systems, this straight aluminum flare fitting serves professionals in automotive, marine, industrial, and aerospace applications where reliable fluid transfer is non-negotiable. Whether you're assembling custom hydraulic lines, repairing brake systems, or building high-performance fuel or coolant circuits, this adapter bridges different threading standards with proven durability.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, the Str Alum #10 Flare 1/2in Black resists corrosion while maintaining excellent strength-to-weight ratio critical in performance vehicles and equipment. The 10 AN male JIC flare end ensures a metal-to-metal seal via the 37-degree flare seat, standard across aviation and high-pressure hydraulic systems, while the 1/2-inch NPT male thread accommodates conventional industrial and automotive ports. The straight configuration eliminates bends, reducing stress concentration points and simplifying installation in tight spaces where elbow fittings prove impractical.

This adapter is ideal for technicians and engineers building or restoring systems requiring code compliance with SAE J518 and ISO 4401 standards. Common applications include custom brake line assemblies, fuel system upgrades, intercooler plumbing, transmission cooler lines, and industrial hydraulic manifold connections. The compact 2.3 x 1.15 x 3.7-inch profile and lightweight 0.08 lbs design make it suitable for weight-sensitive installations. Ensure NPT thread compatibility and proper flare specification before installation; Teflon tape is recommended for NPT connections to prevent leakage and simplify future disassembly.
