: Erik, First, AN fittings are not 45 degrees. They are 37.5 degrees and the correct name for those fittings are JIC not AN. Secondly, the - number refers to 1/16ths of ID of the tube or hose to be used. Thirdly, not all hose fits all fittings of a given (-) dash number. Very often fittings and hose are manufacturer specific of any flavor. Fittings can be a logistic nightmare. You have not correctly identified your requirement, but when you know. You can contact : JIC is not the "correct" name. AN is a standard of it's own. The two may be interchangeable for ordinary class work but AN uses a more precise thread specification for aerospace work. Automobile enthusiasts are also drawn to the often bright anodized aluminum colors found on many AN fitings, plain old plated JIC doesn't have the go fast look to it... The 45 angle he was referring to was the angle offset between the hose barb and the threads, an elbow fitting is what he wants. |

scrawled the following: i cannot find what im after and im going nuts. need AN-3 fitting thats 45° i need only one for a vacuum line. picture http://upshizzle.com/gallery/albums/..._2008/Sent.jpg but that place only sells in groups of 10. Drop by your local NAPA Auto Parts Store. If they don't have it, they'll likely know someone who does.
