Product Information

The terms AN and JIC are used interchangeably in aftermarket automotive hydraulic systems. Mainly the system is used for fuel and oil systems. Occasionally it is also used for coolant systems, but it is pretty rare. What we’re after in reality are AN fittings, because they offer the best dimensional tolerances, and sealing surface finishes. Not all fittings that look the same, are the same! In Motorsport ¶ 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.

As mentioned earlier, AN fittings are designed to fit a specific hose size. It’s important to choose the correct AN size fitting for your specific application to ensure a proper and secure connection. Application RequirementsBrake systems are critical components in any vehicle, providing the necessary stopping power. AN fittings are often used in high-performance brake systems, as they can handle high-pressure brake fluid and provide a leak-free connection. Advantages of Using AN Fittings Different applications have different requirements, such as pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility. It’s important to choose AN fittings that meet the requirements of your specific application. Material People that are new to the hydraulic and pneumatic industries often ask: What is a dash size? Simply put, a dash size refers to a diameter of a hose, tube or fitting in 1/16" increments. 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

The number represents the OD (Outside Diameter) of the tube the fitting was designed to fit in the old AN specifications. The number represents the OD as multiples of 1/16”. Therefore, a -10 fitting was originally designed to fit an solid tube with an OD of 10 * 1/16″ = ⅝″ (~16mm). Conical Seat Angle ¶ AN fittings are commonly used in high performance and racing applications where the need for high flow and leak-free connections is critical. They are also used in aircraft, military/tactical, and industrial applications where lightweight and high-pressure fittings are required. A

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” These sizes refer to the diameter of the fitting in 1/16th inch increments, for example AN-4 is 1/4 inch in diameter. These fittings are commonly used in automotive and aerospace applications for fluid transfer such as oil, fuel, and coolant systems. AN Fitting Types and Applications JIC stands for the Joint Industries Council, which first standardized industrial use fittings. These compression couplings have a 37° flared seat on the male and female threaded connections. What does AN stand for? AN fittings are a flare fitting, using 37° flared tubing to form a metal-to-metal seal. They are similar to other 37° flared fittings, such as JIC, which is their industrial variant. [2] The two are interchangeable in theory, though this is typically not recommended due to the exacting specifications and demands of the aerospace industry. The differences between them relates to thread class and shape (how tight of a fit the threads are), and the metals used. Although similar, 37° AN and 45° SAE fittings and tooling are not interchangeable due to the different flare angles. Mixing them can cause leakage at the flare. Many brands offer AN fittings, and it’s important to choose a reputable brand that offers high-quality products. Reputable brands are more likely to offer fittings that meet your specific requirements and are designed to last.
