-
What are AN male to metric female adapters used for?
They provide a transition between a female AN/JIC fitting and a compatible male metric component, allowing AN plumbing to be integrated with metric threaded connections.
-
What sizes are available?
The range includes AN6 Male to M14 x 1.5 Female and AN6 Male to M16 x 1.5 Female.
-
Does the metric female connection swivel?
Yes. The female metric end features a swivel design, allowing easier alignment and installation without rotating the adjoining component.
-
How does the AN connection seal?
The AN6 male connection uses a JIC 37° cone flare and seals against the corresponding female AN/JIC flare rather than on the threads.
-
How does the metric female connection seal?
The exact sealing arrangement depends on the mating metric connection. Confirm that the thread size, pitch and sealing interface of the male metric component are compatible before installation.
-
Can I use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the AN side?
No. The AN/JIC connection seals on its 37° flare, so thread sealant or PTFE tape should not be used on the AN threads.
-
What are the adapters made from?
They are precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with a black anodised coating for protection against wear and corrosion.
