About AN
The military and aerospace 37° flare that motorsport fuel, oil and coolant plumbing is built on. AN fittings share the 37° seat and UNF thread sizes with JIC, so a -6 AN mates with a -6 JIC, but the threads are held to the tighter class 3A and 3B. Usually 6061 aluminum, anodized red, blue or black.
AS4395, MS33656 37° flare (AN). Seals by: 37° flare metal seat, class 3a/3b thread.
About Metric
Metric straight thread ports, sealed with an O ring stud or a sealing washer. Used on European and Asian hydraulics, automotive sensors and engine plumbing.
ISO 261, ISO 6149. Seals by: o ring stud or sealing washer.
One part, fewer leaks
A single machined adapter replaces a stack of two or three, so there are fewer joints to leak and the run is shorter and lighter.
Any shape
Straight, 45°, 90°, street 90, tee, Y, cross or a manifold with up to 8 outlets. Stainless, steel, brass, aluminum or engineering plastics.
Checked before it ships
Threads are checked with go and no-go gauges and every order ships with a certificate of conformance. Pressure test reports on request.
Questions
What pressure is an AN to Metric adapter rated for?
It depends on the size and material. In 6061-t6 aluminum, the common sizes on this page are rated from 1,120 to 2,250 psi, set by the lower rated end. The builder shows the exact rating for your part, including a wall thickness check.
Can I get an AN to Metric adapter as an elbow or tee?
Yes. Choose straight, 45°, 90°, street 90, tee, cross or a manifold, then set the length, bore, material and finish. The price and pressure rating update as you design.
How many do I have to order?
There is no minimum. Single parts start at $120, pairs at $55 each, and the price per part drops as quantity goes up.
How fast will it ship?
Standard orders ship in 2 weeks. 1 week and 3 day delivery are available. Every thread is gauged, and every order ships with a certificate of conformance.
Need a size or shape not listed?
Every combination of 29 standards is available in the builder.
