Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, this 2-piece set is designed for automotive, marine, and powersport fuel system routing where a secure barb connection is needed. These fittings are rated for a maximum working pressure of 1,500 PSI and tolerate temperatures from -40°F to 248°F, making them suitable for many under-hood and in-line fuel applications when used with appropriate rubber hose and clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these fittings attach to my existing 6AN line?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6AN end features a 9\/16-18 UNF thread that screws into standard AN female ports or adapters. The opposite end is a 3\/8\" barb intended for push-on rubber fuel hose; using a hose clamp is recommended to maintain a reliable seal under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6AN threaded side: 9\/16-18 UNF standard pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBarb side: fits 3\/8\" rubber fuel hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation: hand-start thread, then torque to spec of mating part\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse quality clamps for peak sealing and vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat environments and temperatures can these aluminum fittings handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, these fittings resist corrosion and remain dimensionally stable across routine automotive temperature ranges.

Periodic inspection of the clamp, hose condition, and thread seal is recommended, especially after initial run-in and following exposure to temperature cycles or heavy vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-start threads, then tighten to the mating part’s torque spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a high-quality worm-gear or constant-tension hose clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspect clamps and hose for wear, cracks, or looseness regularly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplace hose or clamps at first sign of deterioration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: A practical choice for DIY mechanics, race teams, and custom fabricators who need a compact AN-to-barb transition for rubber fuel lines. These EVIL ENERGY fittings suit users who want lightweight, corrosion-resistant adapters for fuel routing, return lines, or temporary plumbing during testing. They are ideal when an AN-threaded component must mate to conventional rubber hose — provided the hose is compatible with the fuel and temperature range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use these fittings with braided PTFE hose?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, they are intended for rubber fuel lines; braided PTFE typically requires specific adapters and sealing methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do these fittings need clamps?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, clamps are recommended on the 3\/8\" barb to ensure a secure, leak-free connection under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"EVIL ENERGY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67592668151993,"sku":"B08NYMGWCM","price":55.64,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/3765\/3177\/files\/evil-energy-front-view-package.jpg?v=1790566987","url":"https:\/\/redleafauto.ca\/products\/evil-energy-6an-to-3-8-straight-push-lock-hose-fittings-2pc-black-6061-t6-1500-psi","provider":"Redleaf Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
