Str Alum #3 Flare 1/8in Black

The Str Alum #3 Flare 1/8in Black is a precision hydraulic fitting connector designed for high-pressure fluid systems in tactical, law enforcement, and military applications. This aluminum-body flare fitting serves as a critical interface point in hydraulic lines found in vehicle braking systems, weapons platforms, and equipment hydraulics where reliable, leak-free connections are non-negotiable. Built to military and law enforcement performance standards, it provides the secure coupling necessary for systems operating under demanding field conditions.

Manufactured by AEROQUIP, a trusted OEM supplier for defense and tactical platforms, the #3 flare fitting features a 1/8-inch port size with precisely machined aluminum construction and black oxide finish for corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The flare connection design—a 37-degree JIC standard—creates a metal-to-metal seal that withstands high-pressure cycling without degradation, critical in systems experiencing rapid pressure fluctuations or extreme temperatures. The compact profile (2.3 x 1.1 x 3.75 inches) and minimal weight (0.03 lbs) ensure it integrates seamlessly into space-constrained assemblies without adding unnecessary load.

Operators and maintenance technicians rely on AEROQUIP flare fittings when repairing or assembling hydraulic brake lines, suspension systems, and fluid management circuits on tactical vehicles, aircraft ground support equipment, and weapon systems. Compatibility with standard 1/8-inch JIC flare tubing ensures straightforward replacement during field service or depot-level maintenance. Professionals specify this fitting because it eliminates guesswork: it meets or exceeds original equipment specifications, delivers consistent sealing performance across duty cycles, and maintains system integrity where failure is not an option.
