This item is priced and SOLD BY THE FOOT --- so buy as many continuous feet as you need!

Since stainless braided hose can be abrasive to anything it comes in contact with Fragola offers the -3 and -4 A-N sized hose with both a clear and a black smoke plastic cover. The hose will not scratch aluminum panels or remove paint.

The properties of P.T.F.E. make it a natural choice for use in highly corrosive applications like automotive brake fluid. PTFE also works well for hot oil, power steering, automotive air conditioning, gauge lines, as well as nitrous oxide lines. This stainless braided hose will take high pressures and cycles over and over without failure.

During manufacturing P.T.F.E. powder is extruded into a smooth bore tube product. The tube is then fed into a machine that weaves stainless steel wire into the familiar braided pattern. Prior to shipping the hose is inspected 100% and any flawed sections are discarded.

As a rule of thumb when selecting an A-N hose to replace a given size automotive hose, the dash size is the nominal size in 1/16". For example; -8 A-N, is 8/16" or equivalent 1/2" automotive hose. The AN hose, however, will be slightly smaller due to the wall thickness of the hose. Please reference the chart on the specifications tab for the nominal inside diameter of the hose you are interested in.

Please note: Many people over tighten the aluminum fitting on the adapter, which distorts the 37 degree seat and may cause a leak. Both the threads and the seat surface should have a drop or two of oil to smooth the tightening process. Please reference the chart below for maximum torque specifications. Another method of tightening is to bring the nut to "hand tight" and then rotate it another 1/4 turn with the proper wrench.
