Machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and finished with black anodizing, each fitting includes an internal brass ferrule and a threaded compression nut, allowing a pressure-tight connection without soldering or welding. They are intended for use with aluminum, stainless steel, or copper hardline only and are commonly used in automotive and motorsport plumbing where space, durability, and corrosion resistance matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this adapter connect an AN6 hose to 1\/4\" hardline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitting uses a compression-style interface: the tube receives a brass ferrule and compression nut, then bottoms into the fitting body while the ferrule is compressed to seal.

Cut the hardline square, deburr the end, slide on the ferrule and nut, seat the tube fully, and tighten to compress the ferrule; professional installation is recommended for pressure-critical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse tubing sized to 1\/4\" (6.35mm) OD only; do not use with incompatible materials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure tubing is clean, square-cut, and free of burrs for proper sealing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvoid overtightening the compression nut—follow torque guidance from a professional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot intended for use with soft or nonmetal tubing; for solid hardline only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: Experienced mechanics, race teams, and DIY car builders who need a compact, durable way to mate aftermarket 6AN hose assemblies to 1\/4\" hardlines.
