What is the purpose of the brass olive insert?

The brass olive insert is designed to compress onto the 5/16 inch hard line when the fitting is tightened. This creates a tight seal, preventing leaks in your fuel or oil system.

What kind of lines can I connect to this fitting?

This fitting is designed to connect to a 5/16 inch outside diameter hard line on one end and a -6AN fitting on the other. It's commonly used for transitioning from hard fuel or oil lines to AN-style braided hoses.

What material is this fitting made from?

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