Product Information

The line drawings below depict the actual sizes of the various common NPT thread sizes. If you are unsure as to what thread size you are using lay your fitting over the appropriate drawing to determine its size.

Originally, everybody had their own system for hydraulic couplings, a lot were similar, but not compatible with each other causing confusion and a parts nightmare. So finally the military got involved and created the AN (Army-Navy) connector standard. The AN standard defines tight tolerances and defines every type of fitting (and adaptor) available. Aeroquip are one of the biggest suppliers of these type of fittings to the motorsport industry. They are sold by quite a few people. Think Automotive in London sell the majority of the Aeroquip range.On SAE 37° Flare fittings, the male and female threads are made according to class 2A/2B UN/UNF series threads. Fastener classes 2A and 2B are designed for optimum thread fit that balances fastener performance, manufacturing, economy, and convenience. AN fittings are essential components in various industries, especially in automotive and aerospace. They are designed to provide flexible, leak-free connections, and are available in a range of sizes and designs. In this article, we’ll discuss the history, sizes, types, and applications of AN fittings, as well as provide a guide on how to choose the right fittings for your needs. Army-Navy fittings are used extensively in the U.S. military, military contractors, general aviation, and commercial aviation and are specifically designed to a high standard for this purpose. What are JIC fittings used for? The unique design of AN fittings features a 37-degree flare at the end of the fitting, which provides a secure and leak-free connection with a compatible hose. With a range of sizes and designs available, AN fittings are suitable for a variety of applications and provide numerous benefits, including flexible hose connections, leak-free connections, and durability.

Generally the fittings in motorsport are compatible with the AN / JIC standards, but rarely do you see anyone claiming they sell AN or JIC fittings, in fact they normally say that they sell “re-usable fittings”

Where are SAE Fittings Used?

Power steering systems use hydraulic pressure to make steering easier, especially at low speeds. AN fittings are commonly used in power steering systems, as they are designed to handle high-pressure hydraulic fluids and provide a leak-free connection. Brake Systems For example, an “AN6″ fitting has a nominal size of 6/16″ and a thread size of 3/8”-24. On the other hand, an “AN8″ fitting has a nominal size of 8/16″ and a thread size of 7/16”-20. Not only are there differences in the thread and standards of production. Materials differ as well. Army Navy couplings are used primarily for military aviation systems. As such, these have been produced to the highest possible specs and performance standards. During the second part of the last century confusion sparked between AN fittings and those used in industrial applications, the 37° flare fitting. All these fittings claimed to be made to the AN standards, although they usually were not. This created not only confusion but also a potentially dangerous situation. AN fittings come in a variety of sizes and are typically identified by their AN size (e.g. AN-6, AN-8, AN-10, etc.).

AN stands for Air Force – Navy Aeronautical Design Standards, and it is used for fittings. Can I combine AN and JIC couplings? AN fittings are available in a variety of materials, including aluminum and stainless steel. It’s important to choose the right material for your application, based on factors such as strength, weight, and resistance to wear and tear. Brand The line drawings below depict the actual sizes of the various common AN/ORB thread sizes. If you are unsure as to what size fitting you have lay your fitting over the appropriate drawing to determine its size. NOTE: - AN and ORB thread are the same diameter. AN seals with the flare, ORB seals with an O-ring. AN fittings, also known as Army-Navy fittings, are an essential component in various industries including automotive, aerospace, and motorsports. So remember: dash size is the size of hose, tube or fittings expressed in sixteenths of an inch. Hoses are measured by inside diameter, and tubes are measured in outside diameter.

With proper installation and maintenance, AN fittings provide a reliable and long-lasting solution for fluid transfer in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. What are SAE Fittings?

A new standard was introduced to clean up the confusion called the JIC (Joint Industries Council) fitting standard. These JIC hydraulic fittings have a slightly lower class of thread quality and are considerably less expensive than their AN counterparts. AN fitting sizes and JIC fitting sizes are comparable. JIC fittings are now defined by standard SAE J514 of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Differences between AN and JIC fittingsAN fittings are designed to provide leak-free connections, ensuring that fluids or gases are contained within the system. This is particularly important in applications where the safety of the system or the environment is a concern. Durability SAE fittings are typically made of steel and have a 45-degree flare, making them well-suited for use in systems that don’t experience high levels of stress or pressure. AN Fittings vs SAE Fittings: Key Differences These classes offer a thread fit that creates a balance between performance, manufacturing, economy, and convenience. It is the most commonly used class as 90% of all commercial and industrial fasteners use it. SAE J514/ISO 8434-2 fittings are produced to this class. What does a Class 3A and 3B thread fit mean?
