What is the purpose of the brass olive insert?

The brass olive insert creates a compression seal around the 3/8-inch tube. When the AN fitting is tightened, the olive deforms slightly onto the tube, ensuring a leak-free connection for your fuel or oil lines.

What kind of lines can this adapter be used with?

This fitting is ideal for transitioning from rigid hard lines, typically found in factory fuel or oil systems, to the more flexible and standardized AN (Army-Navy) braided hoses used in custom setups.

Does this fitting come with the AN hose fitting?

No, this part is the adapter fitting itself. You will need to purchase the corresponding -6AN hose fitting separately to complete the connection.

About this part

Product Details

This adapter fitting is made from 6061 aluminum alloy, which keeps it lightweight while still being strong enough for many fuel and oil line setups. It's designed to help you connect a 3/8-inch hard line to a -6AN fitting, making it a common part when you're fabricating custom fuel or oil systems.

The brass olive insert is key here; it creates a solid seal on the 3/8-inch tube, ensuring a leak-free connection when you tighten down the AN fitting. This makes transitioning from existing hard lines to the more flexible and standardized AN hose system much simpler.
