NPT to Inverted Flare?

I am having trouble finding something to mate 3/8" NPT male to a 3/8 Male Inverted flare. I am wondering if the NPT side would just work with a plain ole inverted flare union?

I am just trying to get from http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AER-FBM2618/ to the male end of a 3/8 steel inverted fuel line.

Suggestions?

I'm seeing the same not quite perfect options that Summit has. NPT - NPT and AN - NPT but nothing for inverted flare - NPT

Man, I must be dense, but this is as close as Speedway seems to get as far as I can tell: 3/8 IFF to 1/8 NPT coupler.

Re: NPT to Inverted Flare?

Normal brass fittings at your local part store should do it. You may need to use 2 , 3/8 npt female to 3/8 npt female , than a 3/8 npt male to 3/8 inverted female , but it will work. Just find the oldest store in town , go to the guy who answers all the questions , he should rattle the numbers off like nothing.

That is what I was afraid of, if that is the case, I'll cut and flare my own and use a different end fitting on the fuel line so I don't have this issue. I'd like to avoid having 3-6 adaptors/couplers/fittings right there at my fuel pump, for leaking reasons (and beauty's sake).

Thanks.
