Each fitting is engineered to match a 9\/16-18 UNF 6AN thread and is optimized for use with rubber fuel hoses. With a high working-pressure rating and a broad operating-temperature window, these fittings are intended to deliver reliable mechanical performance when paired with correct hose types and proper clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes and thread spec does this fitting use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter is a 6AN male-threaded fitting that steps down to a 3\/8\" hose barb. The 6AN threaded end follows the 9\/16-18 UNF specification, ensuring compatibility with standard AN ports and adapters.
