Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, each fitting uses a 9\/16-18 UNF 6AN threaded end and a 3\/8\" barb to attach soft fuel lines securely. Designed for workshop and motorsport use, they balance lightweight construction with practical sealing performance when paired with hose clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this fitting connect an AN line to a rubber fuel hose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fitting features a 6AN male threaded end that mates with standard 9\/16-18 UNF female AN ports and a tapered 3\/8\" barb to accept push-on rubber hose.
