AN Fittings & Hoses Guide & How To 

Thank you for this video. I just picked up a return system and I overestimated my skill level, realizing I have never dealt with AN fittings before. So, rather than winging it, I found a good training video.

I found this tutorial very helpful. Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful video!

Very helpful video. 👍

This video tells it all. Thank you

Great video. Thanks.

Use anti seize on those aluminum threads putting those Russell AN fittings together. It really helps when you go to reuse them over time.

Thank you! I needed this tutorial. But now.. I meed also those clamps! 😂

Best video! Thanks! :)

Maybe the best usefull tutorial there is for AN fittings

Awesome video! Thanks for all of the great info!

Great thanks

Love these too, thank you much

thank you!

Thanks

What’s the little ball in the swivel nut do?

I have 1982 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo diesel! I would like to replace oil cooler lines with AN and aircraft style hoses ! It would make the replacement simple compared to the rubber and steel lines which are about 3 feet long with extremely difficult fitting of removal and replacement lines to cooler and oil filter ! I have the new lines but you have to be a contortionist to remove and replace the lines without removing motor mount and jacking up the engine! As it is metric and my first attempt at AN lines I need some help if you could! Thank you !

Completly avoid cutting hose that will be used for fuel injectors with a grinder. Use the big cut off tool you seen him use for all your injector lines. It's just to hard to remove all the dust from inside the line that a cut off grinding wheel produces. I don't need to tell you what happens when those contaminants reach your injectors!

Only thing I would not do is add oil to the hose itself. The moment you add petroleum base product to the hose it starts to swell making it harder to install. Once you oil the barb on the fitting the hose should be installed in 1 shot.

Can i use the rubber lines with the threaded style fittings? Should of watched this video before trying to repair my own as i crushed my line trying to press the super frayed stainless steel line by hand.

16:34 hi mate I’m still confuse would you tell me how deep exactly we should put this Nylon hose to hose end? I believe there is something like ”curb”inside which doesn’t let put this hose deeper?

can you use a braided fitting on a push loc hose..?? thans for anu answer

on other vids and from manufacturer they say to leave a 1/16 of an inch when threading on do not tighten all the way down. new to an fittings just asking.

so the blue/red ones that screw together to hold the hose can only be used with braided hose?

What vise jaws do you have?

Just a quick question how would i go about connecting AN fitting to aliminium fuel line ? What do i need?

do you really have to bottom them out al lthe way ? sometimes they get super hard to turn

I was wanting to make a line to replace my return fuel line which is 5/16. the AN sizes don't match odd size numbers. what can I do to solve this problem?? anyone

I have an issue. My particular pcv valve outlet is plastic with an ID of 3/4 inch. It's roughly 1.5 inches long with no threads inside or outside. I want to attach a 3/4 inch (ID) flexible braided hose to this little plastic piece that has no threads whatsoever. What will I need to make the sealed connection?

Probably a dumb question, but are u able to reuse the fitting? Say for instance, I wanna shorten the hose can I use the fitting again or will I have to get new ones?

What are the ball bearings on the an fittings? I had one missing and it blew oil everywhere. Is it some type of pressure release?

How do u tell what size an fitting are on a car what size wrench for an6 or an8?

Thanks for the video . I’m looking at a catch can for my vehicle and the one in found has 10an holes. My vacuum lines are 3/8. So i need a 10an to 3/8 barb fitting to connect the 3/8 hose correct? I also found a 8an catch can and it would be the same 8an to 3/8 barb fitting. thanks

Is there a special lube to use when mating the hose and fitting?

Assembling these really doesn't look any different than the reusable hydraulic, fuel, air fittings in use decades ago. At 16:27 when you were putting the end on the hose----i don't know about these----but on the hydraulic, air, and diesel fuel fittings we used (Aeroquip) you would turn counter-clockwise to install the fitting on to the hose and vice-versa, of course, if you were replacing the hose. Not sure why you didn't include a fine tooth hacksaw as a way of cutting hose that is reinforced with steel. Early in my career there was no such thing as cut-off discs. I don't really care for them cutting hose because of the debris they get inside the hose; although you did mention flushing. Good explanation though. Who makes that nice aluminum clamp you were using in the vise? Could of mentioned that in the description.

May i know what size is the radiator hose of 150cc scooter and the size of caliper brake hose? i want to buy online but i dont know what size they are.

Toss the fittings in the freezer for ab an hour and you’ll push them on all the way in one push.

Fullflow An fittings or nothing.

Little to no information describing the different fittings at the start.

My racing fuel pump would blow that hose right off , it wouldn't work for my application, but nice video

Why are you cutting the hose with a razer blade? They make cutting tools for that that make a nice square cut. Why are you putting a clamp on Push-Loc hose and fittings??? Defeating the whole purpose of a "Push-Loc" assembly. And this is a "How-To" instruction.......really?

I'm sorry to say but your installation method is WRONG. As an aircraft engineer for 50 years please get the correct methods of performing the procedures you are trying to teach others..

The moment he applied oil is the moment everyone should stop the video and go somewhere else

Terrible video. Music too loud and annoying. Voice too low.

to bad you sound so bored…

Wish I could hear you. Turn up the recording volume.
