Str Alum #12 Flare 3/4in Black

The Str Alum #12 Flare 3/4in Black straight aluminum adapter fitting delivers a robust connection solution for hydraulic and pneumatic systems requiring versatile port configurations. Engineered by AEROQUIP, a trusted name in fluid power connections, this adapter bridges the gap between 12 AN male flare ports and 3/4 inch NPT male threads—making it essential for custom fabrication, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and heavy-duty mobile applications. Whether you're upgrading a transmission cooler line, designing fuel system plumbing, or assembling a hydraulic circuit, this straight adapter ensures reliable flow transitions without requiring elbow fittings or additional components.

Machined from lightweight yet durable aluminum and finished with black anodized coating, the Str Alum #12 Flare 3/4in Black resists corrosion while maintaining structural integrity under pressure and vibration. The 12 AN flare end provides a cone-sealed connection that prevents leakage through metal-to-metal contact, while the 3/4 inch NPT male thread end accepts standard industrial ports and manifold connections. The straight configuration—as opposed to 45-degree or 90-degree bends—simplifies installation in tight spaces and reduces pressure drop by minimizing flow turbulence. At just 0.13 lbs, the compact design (3.6 x 1.8 x 5.25 inches) allows seamless integration into space-constrained engine bays and equipment frames without adding unnecessary weight.

Technicians, fabricators, and OEM suppliers rely on this adapter when NPT-threaded components must interface with AN-flare systems—a common scenario in performance automotive builds, industrial retrofit projects, and aftermarket cooling or fuel delivery upgrades. The black anodized finish provides both aesthetic consistency with premium hydraulic assemblies and additional protection in harsh outdoor or chemical environments. Proper installation requires matching thread sizes on both the NPT port and AN flare line; use appropriate thread sealant on the NPT end and ensure flare nut torque specifications are observed to prevent leakage and component damage. Stock this fitting for immediate deployment on projects demanding proven, leak-free connections.
