Really appreciate this quick and straightforward answer to "what's the difference between a tube nut and an AN-hardline adapter?" Answer = one does the flare for you.
It depends on what tools you have and the application. If you have a tube flaring tool then the tube nut method is more secure in high pressure situations however if you don't want to invest in the tooling the adapters are very easy and convenient. They are also fine for most regular automotive applications.
@@aeroflowperformance ok thank you very much for the information I will think about what would be the best option since I only need it for a maximum fuel line of 70 psi and at full it is not a lot of pressure
If you put a wrench to it, will the fitting spin on the hardline? I was just installing one and even though with a wrench could turn it, the fitting broke from being overtightened
Hi Steven, the hardline fittings crush down on the brass olive so once it is tight you can leave it. They are aluminium fittings with a taper so there is no need to over-tighten.
What size tubing and fitting were you just using? I got a engine oil line with a 5/8 fitting to the engine and the other sides are leaking crimps what size an compression fitting would I use?

Fortunately most men have good experience with the straightening process.
No reply to questions! Yeah, I want your product. Great customer support!
Awesome, awesome video thank you
Are olive adapters safe for transmission lines? Might it blow off?
Is one better with hi PSI?
Hellow how are you ? Any cuestion what is name the product for seal the thread please and tanks
Wich one is more safety?
what happens if you don't lube the threads before mating the tightening the adapters?
Nothing really. It's just to protect the threads and make the threads engage a bit more smoothly.
Can you use aluminum fittings in stainless steel lines? I couldn’t tell which hardliners you were using in this video. Thanks!
Yes that's no problem
I’m more interested in the flaring tool he used. Anyone know what it is and where to get one?
Hi There, you can find it here! www.aeroflowperformance.com/af98-2007-flare-tool-37-deg-an-angle
Can you use this hard lines fittings to adapt into brake booster vacuum line❓
If the booster line is a hard line then yes!
Which of the two methods do you recommend more?

@@aeroflowperformance one the fitting tightened correctly. Can it still rotate on the hardline?
@@bradleygordon6806 i dont think so
Can you use a the tube nuts on a OE hardline that isn’t stainless or aluminium?
Yes you can, as long as the diameter is correct
@@aeroflowperformance so if the OD IS 3/8 I can use a -8 ? Thank you
@@kat5232 generally a 3/8 line is -6
@@aeroflowperformance sorry my mistake
Where do I buy them kit! Thks

What size tubing and fitting were you just using? I got a engine oil line with a 5/8 fitting to the engine and the other sides are leaking crimps what size an compression fitting would I use?
Part number AF109-10 suits a 5/8 tube and converts to -10 AN female or AF108-10 is the male version
What is the max psi on these
What if it has a small lip
You need to remove the lip before using these adapters
Part numbers would have also been helpful.
