What is the purpose of the olive inserts?

The olive inserts help create a solid, leak-free seal when connecting the adapter to your 3/8 inch hardline tubing. They are designed to compress and conform to the tubing for a reliable connection.

What is the difference between AN fittings and standard tube sizes?

AN (Army-Navy) fittings are a standardized thread and flare system commonly used in automotive fluid transfer lines for their reliability. Standard tube sizes refer to the outside diameter of the hardline tubing itself, which this adapter allows you to connect to the AN system.

What kind of applications is this fitting typically used for?

This fitting is commonly used in custom fabrication for fuel systems, oil lines, or vacuum lines where a 90-degree change in direction is needed to adapt a 3/8 inch hardline to a -6AN fitting.
