Crafted from aluminum alloy with a brass ferrule, the fitting uses a 37° flare seat on the AN side and a compression-style ferrule on the hardline side, making it ideal for fuel delivery, brake lines, or custom engine plumbing where a reliable transition between flexible hose and rigid tube is needed. Confirm your hardline outer diameter and that the tube is suitable for compression-style fittings before installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this fitting create a leak-resistant connection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6AN female side seals against a 37° flare on the male AN fitting, which is the standard sealing geometry for AN hardware. The hardline side relies on a brass ferrule that deforms slightly to bite the tube and form a mechanical compression seal. Together these two sealing methods provide a dependable junction when installed correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6AN flange: 37° flare sealing surface for metal-to-metal contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass ferrule: compresses onto 5\/16\" OD hardline for mechanical grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminium alloy body: resists corrosion and keeps weight low\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size: 9\/16-18 UNF on the 6AN female side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my tubing and fuel components?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse this adapter only when your rigid tube measures 5\/16\" outer diameter and is made of stainless steel or aluminum.
