Barb to AN Male Adapters – Flexible Hose to AN/JIC Connections

Connect flexible hose to AN/JIC fluid systems with our aluminium Barb to AN Male Adapters. Featuring a multi-barb hose tail and male JIC 37° flare connection, these compact adapters provide a simple transition between conventional flexible hose and compatible female AN/JIC fittings.

Why Choose Our Barb to AN Male Adapters?

Multi-Barb Hose Connection

The formed hose tail provides multiple retaining barbs to grip the inside of compatible flexible hose and help resist pull-off once correctly secured.
Male AN/JIC Connection

The male AN connection allows the adapter to connect directly to a compatible female AN/JIC hose fitting, adapter or component.
JIC 37° Flare Sealing

The AN connection uses a male JIC 37° cone flare, sealing against the corresponding female flare rather than the threads themselves.
6061-T6 Aluminium Construction

CNC-machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium and finished in black anodising for durability and corrosion resistance.
Simple Hose Installation

The hose pushes directly over the correctly sized barb. Secure the hose using a suitable clamp appropriate to the hose construction and application.

What is a Barb to AN Male Adapter?

A barb to AN male adapter provides a transition between flexible hose and a female AN/JIC connection. The barbed hose tail inserts into compatible flexible hose, while the male AN end connects to a corresponding female JIC 37° flare fitting.

For Custom Fluid Systems

Available in a selection of AN and hose sizes, these adapters provide a compact solution for integrating flexible hose into fuel, oil, coolant, breather and other custom automotive fluid systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are barb to AN male adapters used for?
They provide a transition between flexible hose and a female AN/JIC connection. The barbed end inserts into compatible hose, while the male AN end connects to a corresponding female AN/JIC fitting.
What AN sizes are available?
The range includes AN6, AN8 and AN10 male connections, with different hose barb sizes available depending on the selected AN size.
How does the AN connection seal?
The male AN/JIC connection seals on its 37° cone flare against the corresponding female flare. The threads provide mechanical retention and are not the primary sealing surface.
Do I need thread sealant on the AN connection?
No. AN/JIC connections seal on the mating 37° flare surfaces, so thread sealant or PTFE tape should not be used on the AN threads.
What type of hose can I use with these adapters?
They are intended for compatible flexible hose designed for use with conventional barbed hose fittings. Match the hose internal diameter to the selected barb size and ensure the hose material is suitable for the fluid and operating conditions.
Do I need to use a hose clamp?
Yes, we recommend securing the hose with a suitable clamp appropriate to the hose construction and application. Do not assume a conventional barbed fitting is suitable for clamp-free installation unless the hose manufacturer specifically approves it.
Are these adapters reusable?
Yes, provided the adapter remains free from damage and the hose barb, threads and sealing surfaces are in good condition.
