Hi @ all, hope you are getting well to the next year. My car has many oil lines and also a lot of aluminum connectors and some of the them do leak. Is there any trick to seal them? I think that I hav

Chris, These are called AN fittings.B From my experience, they are very reliable and don't leak if they are in good condition. In your photo, the left end has a slight taper and is a pipe fitting. It

I have been working with the style of connectors you are referencing for many years. They are very reliable. The best reference for tightening them and installing hose of them is at Aeroquip's websit

Hi, the male seating part of the fitting could possibly have a nick or scratch, hindering proper sealing. The same with the female connector on the hose. Most hose connectors can be taken apart and r

No seal needed on the taper / AN joint. Normally are good sealing nicely reusable fittings. But they are aluminum and if the sealing surface gets damaged would need to be replaced. Cheers, Tony Drews

Chris, Some fittings are made to use a rubber o-ring. My sandwich plate AN fittings will leak without the o-rings, Is it the flared side that leaks or is it the non-flared side ? jim g Hi @ all, hope

The connectors look like new. I inspect them when I put the engine back together, I just wanted to make sure in advance that I didn't do anything wrong with them or if anything is missing. Thanks Chr

The oils seeps through the taper. When I opened the packet with the connectors there were no o-rings supplied. Is this an extra order? Chris --Urspr|ngliche Nachricht-- Von: Jim Gray [mailto:toodamnf

There are no O-rings in AN fittings. The threaded sleeve that fits over the braided line compresses it onto the fitting (self sealing on the "rubber" hose liner), and the fitting-to- fitting metal se

I bet since they are new they are not galling but at the same time I have had them sort of hang up when tightening them. Drop a drop of the same oil you use in the engine on the threads and also in t

Just for Chris' reference, there are two primary standards in the U.S. for such fittings. JIC, which is a 37 deg. fitting (typically used on hydraulic equipment and aircraft), and SAE, which is 45 de

The ones which do leak are from A-1 performance plumbing. I also have some more bought of another brand which are seal and dust dry. And with the dry sump tank sitting high a lot of oil is leaving th

With respect, I disagree with Bill on the pipe dope, which is a bitch to clean off completely when you need to (and can wander into the plumbing just as easily if done wrong). Secret to Teflon tape,

Yes AN flare fittings will absolutely NOT leak if properly fitted, and there is no type of seal or sealer used. Glen --Original Message-- From: SCOTT JANZEN <sjanzen@me.com> To: MadMarx <tr4racing@go
