Racedom AN female to PTFE Straight Hose Adapter

An AN Female to PTFE Straight Hose Adapter is a precision-engineered fitting designed to connect AN-style hoses to PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) hoses in a straight configuration. This adapter is widely used in automotive, industrial, and performance applications due to its reliability, durability, and ability to handle high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

Key Features:

1. Material:

   • Typically constructed from lightweight yet durable 6061-T6 aluminum, ensuring a strong and corrosion-resistant build.
   • Often coated with an anodized finish (e.g., black, blue, or red) to enhance corrosion resistance and provide a sleek appearance.

2. Compatibility:

   • Designed to connect a standard AN female fitting to a PTFE hose, making it suitable for fuel lines, brake lines, oil systems, and other hydraulic or pneumatic applications.
   • Compatible with a wide range of fluid types, including gasoline, ethanol, diesel, oil, coolant, and water.

3. Thread Type:

   • Features AN threads (Army/Navy specification), which are 37° flare fittings that provide a reliable, leak-free connection.

4. Design:

   • Straight configuration allows for a direct and seamless connection, ideal for applications where space constraints are not a concern.
   • Engineered with a PTFE olive (ferrule) that ensures a secure fit with the PTFE inner hose, preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity.

5. Operating Range:

   • High-pressure tolerance: typically handles pressures up to 1000 PSI or more (depending on size and manufacturer specifications).
   • Temperature range: Resistant to extreme temperatures, often between -65°F to 450°F (-54°C to 232°C), thanks to the PTFE lining.

6. Sizes:

   • Available in a variety of sizes, such as AN-3, AN-4, AN-6, AN-8, and beyond, to suit different hose diameters.

Applications:

• Automotive Performance: Commonly used in high-performance fuel delivery, oil cooling, and brake systems.
• Industrial Use: Suitable for chemical transport, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic connections.
• Marine Applications: Excellent for fuel and oil lines in boats due to its corrosion-resistant properties.

Benefits:

• Leak-Proof Seal: AN threads and PTFE olive ensure a tight, vibration-resistant connection.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Resistant to wear, corrosion, and degradation from harsh fluids.
• Easy Installation: Straight design simplifies hose routing and connection.
• Versatile: Works with a variety of fluids and pressures, making it suitable for diverse applications.

Installation Tips:

• Ensure both the hose and adapter are clean and free of debris before installation.
• Properly cut the PTFE hose with a clean, straight edge to avoid leaks.
• Use an appropriate wrench (aluminum AN wrenches are recommended) to avoid damaging the anodized surface during tightening.

Why Choose PTFE?

PTFE-lined hoses are known for their exceptional durability and chemical resistance, making this adapter the perfect choice for systems where reliability under extreme conditions is critical.

Whether you're upgrading your fuel system or replacing an old fitting, the AN Female to PTFE Straight Hose Adapter offers unparalleled performance, reliability, and style.
