What is the purpose of the brass olive insert?

The brass olive insert is designed to create a tight seal around the 3/8-inch hard line when you compress it. This helps prevent leaks at the connection point between the hard line and the adapter.

What type of lines can this adapter be used with?

This adapter is intended for transitioning from a 3/8-inch outside diameter hard line to a -6AN female fitting, commonly used for braided fuel or oil lines.

What material is this fitting made from?

The fitting itself is constructed from 6061 aluminum alloy, which is known for being lightweight. It also includes a brass olive insert.
