The AEROQUIP Straight Aluminum Flare #6 AN Male to 1/8 Inch NPT Male Adapter (FCM5003) is a precision hydraulic fitting designed for critical fluid transfer applications where reliable connection and pressure containment are non-negotiable. This black anodized adapter bridges two industry-standard connection types commonly found in aerospace, automotive, industrial hydraulics, and high-performance fluid systems.
The #6 AN (Army-Navy) male flange accepts standard -6 AN hose assemblies with a 37-degree flare seat, while the 1/8 inch NPT (National Pipe Taper) male port threads into NPT female ports commonly found on pumps, manifolds, gauges, and tank fittings. Aluminum construction with black anodize finish provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments—salt spray, high-humidity storage, or aggressive chemical exposure—without sacrificing weight. The straight configuration minimizes footprint and simplifies installation where space or angle constraints exist. AEROQUIP's manufacturing tolerances ensure flange and thread integrity under sustained pressure cycling, critical in systems operating between 0 and 3000 psi depending on application and component rating.
This adapter serves technicians and engineers integrating legacy NPT-threaded components into modern AN-flange hose systems, or vice versa. It appears in pressure-tested fluid circuits, fuel injection systems, coolant loops, and hydraulic control lines where cross-standard connectivity is required. The single-unit form factor suits replacement or new assembly builds where downtime and installation simplicity matter.
AEROQUIP is recognized across aviation and motorsport sectors for adherence to SAE J518 and AS4059 flange specifications. When sourcing certified hydraulic fittings, confirming that an adapter meets those standards and verifying compatibility with your system's pressure rating and fluid type before installation protects system longevity and safety.
