Only the NPT (tapered pipe) end of an adapter needs sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow tight should AN fittings be?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnug them up by hand, then about a quarter turn with a proper AN spanner. Aluminium fittings do not need much. Over-tightening can crack the flare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is an AN6 fitting? Is 6AN the same as 3\/8?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. AN6 (also written -6 or 6AN) suits 3\/8\" (9.5 mm) hose or tube and uses a 9\/16\"-18 thread. The dash number is the size in sixteenths of an inch, so AN6 = 6\/16 = 3\/8\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuality and warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in China, precision CNC-machined from solid aluminium, not cheap cast or pot-metal fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTough anodised finish, clean threads and true 37 degree flares that seal properly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-year repair or replacement warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold and backed by Tucks Performance, an Australian-owned business.
