Machined from aluminum alloy with a brass ferrule and a 37° flare sealing surface, the fitting is built for automotive fuel systems, engine modifications, and other pressurized fluid circuits where a reliable, vibration-resistant connection is needed. The pack contains two identical fittings so you can outfit both ends of a line or keep a spare on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this fitting create a leak-resistant connection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 37° flare on the AN thread compresses against the mating surface to form a metal-to-metal seal, while the brass ferrule grips the hardline for mechanical retention.
