Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodize, the fittings offer corrosion resistance and a professional appearance. The 6AN female thread measures 9\/16-18 UNF and mates to standardized AN ports; the 3\/8\" barb accepts rubber fuel hose and is best used with a clamp for optimal sealing. Rated for up to 1,500 PSI and a wide temperature range, these fittings suit many automotive and motorsport plumbing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these fittings attach to AN ports and rubber hose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fitting screws into a 6AN (9\/16-18 UNF) threaded port, creating a compact straight connection. The opposing end features a 3\/8\" barb sized for rubber fuel lines; push the hose onto the barb and secure it with a clamp to improve sealing and prevent leaks under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6AN thread: 9\/16-18 UNF for standard AN compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBarb diameter: 3\/8\" to match common fuel hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamps recommended for leak-proof installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight orientation for minimal flow disruption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and pressure ratings should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fittings are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a common choice for lightweight strength and corrosion resistance when anodized.

These EVIL ENERGY 6AN straight push-lock barb fittings are intended for automotive and motorsport enthusiasts, tuners, and DIY mechanics who need a compact, lightweight adapter from an AN threaded port to a 3\/8\" rubber fuel line. If you work on carbureted or fuel-injected engines, small engines, or custom plumbing where rubber fuel hoses are used, this 2-piece set offers a durable, serviceable connector that balances strength, appearance, and ease of use. Not suitable as a substitute for rigid-line plumbing in high-temperature or chemically aggressive systems—verify hose and fluid compatibility before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use these with braided PTFE hoses?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, these barbs are made for rubber fuel lines; braided PTFE hoses require compatible AN fittings or adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need clamps with the push-lock barb?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, clamps are recommended to ensure a secure, leak-free connection under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"EVIL ENERGY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55163761918295,"sku":"B08NYMGWCM","price":31.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/evil-energy-front-view-fittings_d1907dc7-b515-4db5-b640-e38283cfc8ef.jpg?v=1790347131","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/evil-energy-6an-straight-push-lock-hose-fitting-2pcs-black-anodized-aluminum-3-8-barb-1500-psi","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
