Changing and testing hoses and fittings has never been easier with AN hose assemblies. AN hose assemblies are also stronger and better able to handle the high pressures and extreme driving they are exposed to. You’ll be able to find a hose for any application with our easy-to-size hoses and fittings.
Leak Testing
With AN hoses and fittings, you are able to test for leaks at home, instead of taking your vehicle to a shop. With a pressure testing kit that works with any hose from size -04 through -16, you’ll be able to flush your system or test for leaks.
Different Sizes
When you choose to use AN race car hose fittings, you’ll find that no matter what size you need, you’ll find it. Whether you need fuel line, water line, brake lines or power steering lines, you’ll find the perfect size for your application.
Weight
Every pound counts against your time in racing. When you choose our auto hose fittings, you’ll save some weight – and even just a few pounds could make a difference between winning and losing. Depending on the type of fitting you choose, you could shave up to 30 pounds from your vehicle.
Torque
Make sure you use the appropriate torque for each fitting. You’ll save yourself from dealing with leaks later due to stretched fittings. Add a drop of oil to the threads on the fitting during installation to help prevent galling.
AN Fittings
AN fittings date back to the second world war, where they were used on aircraft. They were originally developed by the Air Force for hydraulic lines on planes.
