hell yeah, bought a classic jet boat last month and couldn't for the life of me find a good guide about what tubing and where to buy tubing for the water injected headers. now i know exactly how to set everything up. Thank you!
Less Views, Less expansive cameras or editing, but much more useful informations. I wish all YT videos will be like this lol One of the best videos about cpe hoses! Thank you !
Nicely done. One other guy stated not to let the screwed in portion (the male portion into the line) make contact with the nut on the stainless line. I will go with your recommendation. AS you stated ....DO NOT TORQUE one to another but let them make contact and stop right there. NICE BUICK ....looks like a 58 Buick Special. Thanks for the tips and Keep up the good work.
Hey Dean, I am just finishing mt braided lines on my 55' Buick Riviera. Unfortunely AN fitting worked like yours ! I had to push a small ferrule in to seat. I left to go....without the fittings that swivel...had to order another 90 degree.
Great video. Thank you! I have a 1970 Nova where the fuel line is starting to leak under pressure. the braided hose to the carb is loose within the fitting (that's where it's leaking). The fitting is a 90 degree bend like you showed here, with the other end of the bend attaching to a hard fuel line. Your instructions gave me great insight as to how these go together so that I might be able to repair the connection. If not, I'll buy new hose, inspect the fitting to see if it appears to be good, and build a new hose. Again, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Great vid on this! I was getting aggravated trying to figure out mine. I am upgrading my 2001 Ford Lightning and going to custom fuel rails, adapted from the stock feed line for now, and will run back to the tank later now that I see how much easier this is than I was making it!!
Nicely demonstrated Dean, I have never had the opportunity to work with the braided line and fittings before, but if I do in the future I'll know how to put them together, thanks!
You can make a fuel-line clamp for your vise from a block of wood. It's pretty cheap. Drill a hole down the center of a 2x4 the same size as the o.d. of your fuel line. Cut the block in half from one end of the hole to the other end of the hole through the center. You can use an uncut, drilled block to cut through the fuel line (and block) instead of tape, too.
Great instructions. Something that I learned over time that helped me both make straight cuts but also clean cuts is to go as slow as I feel like I can. Maybe I'm too much of a brute force person when it comes to using tools. But when I put just enough pressure on to keep the cut moving I seem to get really straight cuts and without any edges or fray or whatever. When I'm cutting metal sheet or shapes it's different.
I just received some of these fittings & was trying to figure out how they went together. Your video was helpful, thanks for the demonstration! I hope you blew the fuel line out with air before installing it to the system.
I got an 0 ring too with my last An fitting I bought. I have now idea what it's for. I threw it out and assembled the fitting to the line as I always do. No leaks
Those are great fittings , i used them for transport refrigeration lines on the systems i built at Northeast Thermo King. Nice they will last a long long time, a look great too.
I'd like to comment on how great this type of connection is. I worked around high pressure hydraulic hoses for over 25 yrs. Crimped fittings fail regularly, while these do not fail ever. I don't care if it was crimped by a tool bigger than a jumbo jet. Crimped fittings suck. These AN are about as good as it gets for flexible hoses and it can be done with normal hand tools. Just takes time. Do mind the hose width shrinkage from using these fittings, so try to always go a size up.
Say, I cut a section of my line with a pipe cutter because it was rusty. Would I still be able to flare/double flare my fuel line and having fittings connect and not leak? Or do I gotta replace the whole line now?
Are you talking about just a regular steel fuel line for a carbureted vehicle? Yes you can flare and use a Union to join up a new piece. You can do that with this braided stainless also. But this stuff doesn't rust so I think you are referring to steel line
Nice one, good visual. Thanks i don;t want to get a tool. Not just the money but the wait and all. I think I'll just put the fitting back in the vice than use two spanners :)
I have an-10 fittings with black braided hoses. They do not go easily in any way. I tried forcing them (the thread goes in good, the hose is at the end of the lip on the binding fitting) but when I get to about mid-way, it starts getting super tough and even twists the hose itself. why is that happening? I went for a test drive after I went all-in on closing the fittings and at first, there was no apparent leak but after the second test drive it leaked bad. any suggestions will be highly appreciated. thank you for your vid
it easier counter clockwise as there is a left thread on the inside of outer sleeve. that is to help the hose stay in while you are tightening it to the inner piece. :)
HEY BRO THANKS FOR SHOWING THAT TO ME! ill sub to ya im an ol super comp drag racer i had an S/W rail job 1000 HP BB chevy engine now im retired so ill watch u build something lol im also a 45 yr mechanic if ya ever need some help just ask. be cool later
NOOOOOOO go on electrical tape...... reason folk wrap it so much is because it stretches.. For large steel hoses like he shows here.. yeah it "can" work. Super Glue works better and you MUST use no stretch tape on it after it dries / before you cut it.. Combined with this and with using a very fine cutting wheel rotary cutting tool..... your life is wayyy easier. For below 6an Steel Braided. even superglue will NOT resist the end of the sheath natural tendency to flare out. There is not a snowballs chance in hell you will get that nut on. For below 6an - such as 4an...either... JUST DONT GO THERE, have a pro hose shop build you the line.. or... use superglue and NYLON braided line along with the fine cutting tool trick.... aka- skip steel braided all together. Honestly Steel Braided is bad anyway.. Once installed it cuts like a chainsaw thru anything that touches it fairly quickly.. Electrical wires.. body panel pieces, coolant hoses, etc etc... Its just not worth using it at all.

One of the best videos about cpe hoses!
Thank you !
Thanks!
Awesome video don't worry about other saying you talk to much. Taking about what your doing is another learning tool!
Thanks for the kind words 🙂
Thanks for that "down to earth" video. Good tip about the grease too.
Thanks!

Thanks man. I've learned the hard way a few times not to over tighten these. It is a 56 but you were close!
Thanks for a good up close view of how to do it, answered all my questions.
Glad I could help

very helpful i am about to re-plumb my fuel lines with a long length of uncut hose and a bag full of an fittings !
Glad you found the video useful

Nice and straight forward, this helped a lot - Thanks!

Very informative professionally done good video
Hello clapped out
Good job on video
Have a great rest of your week
Thanks . Appreciate it and you too

Great video man you should be a shop teacher thank you
Well thank you glad I could help
Excellent demonstration. Gives me confidence I can do it.
Glad I could help
very good video my brother you will be a good instructor...i will sure sign up for your class.......
Thank you
Great video, especially the close-ups and comments step by step. Subscribed.
Thanks!
Nice job I like the way you did it step by step that help me a lot
Glad I could help
Thank you!! Time to run my new braided line!!! 😀
Glad you found the video useful
Thank you sir 👌
Glad I could help
Nicely done, Dean! Clean installation.
Thanks George
I just received some of these fittings & was trying to figure out how they went together. Your video was helpful, thanks for the demonstration!
I hope you blew the fuel line out with air before installing it to the system.
I never blow the lines out and I've done a lot of lines without any problems. But it's not a bad idea
Great video man! It sure hope me out.Thanks for your time.
Glad I could help!
I got a 1/2" round rubber o-ring with fittings. Where does it go in the assembly?
I got an 0 ring too with my last An fitting I bought. I have now idea what it's for. I threw it out and assembled the fitting to the line as I always do. No leaks
Those are great fittings , i used them for transport refrigeration lines on the systems i built at Northeast Thermo King. Nice they will last a long long time, a look great too.
Wow cool, didn't know they were used for that. I just learned the AN stands for Army Navy so they have been around longer than I thought
Great video. Clean instruction.
Thanks!
Good job
Thanks
Good video!!! Very nicely explained
Thanks

I agree . I have never had a problem with these
Nice! Would you recommend a good source for fittings and hose?
I got mine off eBay. Just look for a vendor with good ratings and make sure it is coming from a warehouse in the the us
@@NoPaintGarage Copy that thanks!
I got mine off of amazon
@@robertdias7116 Excellent! Thanks
Very good video brother

Nice one, good visual. Thanks i don;t want to get a tool. Not just the money but the wait and all. I think I'll just put the fitting back in the vice than use two spanners :)
Thanks for watching
Thank right to the point l great content this helped me a lot
Glad I could help
Makes a nice clean connection... I used them on my build..
They are nice
Thanks for the video that is going to be the next thing on my list to do.
Thanks for watching
Thanks appreciate that video buddy
Glad I can help
It looks like you push hose into the nut fitting the whole way to the threaded area, correct????? Im bout to do a heap of 6an on my car. Cheers!!
Yeah that sounds right
👍👍😎 I am putting a carb on a 95 Camaro 3.4 good info
Cool
How is that rubber line holding up? I can’t decide if I want to use traditional or PTFE lines
I would use ptfe. The rubber line failed this past summer and I replaced it all with ptfe. The ethonal gas rotted it out in just 4 years
I have had ptfe on my 72 chevy truck for almost 9 years no problems
Thanks for the video. Help me out
Glad it did!
Bevel the edge of the hose with belt sander helps.
True
Great Video!!
Thanks
Will AN connectors and fuel hoses connect to on board air compressors? I like the connectors better than normal air connectors
I'm not sure honestly
Great video. Did you ever install it? Did they leak?
Yup. Been in use for almost 2 years. No leaks
Excellent work
How much PSI can it hold? CIS takes over 65 PSI.
I think it's rated for 250 psi

any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
thank you for your vid
Are you sure you have the right fittings? Did they come with the hose or did you order them separately?
it easier counter clockwise as there is a left thread on the inside of outer sleeve. that is to help the hose stay in while you are tightening it to the inner piece. :)
Good to know
My one goes tight before the two meet seems like a solid seal, do they have to meet
No they don't have to meet. I've never put a fitting together that actually met.
I've heard not to use an fitting on ptfe hose. Am I missing something?
Nope you can use an fittings. Those fittings even came with the ptfe hose. Been using an fittings on ptfe hose since 2017 with no leaks
Wow thx mine went the second cut but wow a pia for my first one dam thx tho it helped
nice job bud
Thank you
Do these leak over time? I have been reading reviews and it’s a mixed response. Curious your experience.
Haven't had any leak
Great work.
Thank you
Are u worried about dust and debris getting into the line when u cut it?
Not too much, you can blow the line out after with air if you wanted to
wow, how cool! thanks
Thanks man, big help
Glad it could you
You are the man
Well thanks. Glad I could help
Great video
Appreciate the feedback
HEY BRO THANKS FOR SHOWING THAT TO ME! ill sub to ya im an ol super comp drag racer i had an S/W rail job 1000 HP BB chevy engine now im retired so ill watch u build something lol im also a 45 yr mechanic if ya ever need some help just ask. be cool later
Awesome! Glad to have you
Thank you!
Glad I could help
That was helpful thank you
Welcome 🙂
very nice thanks
You are welcome
Thanks!
Glad I could help
thanksss bro!
Why can't leave the tape on
Won't seal right
thanks breh
Thanks
Use a hose clip
TRUMP 2024!
Amen
You should probably invest in a new vice pal.
I still need one till this day
That's an old vice!
Yeah, it's ancient. Unfortunately I broke it because I was pretty rough on it
NOOOOOOO go on electrical tape...... reason folk wrap it so much is because it stretches.. For large steel hoses like he shows here.. yeah it "can" work. Super Glue works better and you MUST use no stretch tape on it after it dries / before you cut it.. Combined with this and with using a very fine cutting wheel rotary cutting tool..... your life is wayyy easier.
For below 6an Steel Braided. even superglue will NOT resist the end of the sheath natural tendency to flare out. There is not a snowballs chance in hell you will get that nut on.
For below 6an - such as 4an...either... JUST DONT GO THERE, have a pro hose shop build you the line.. or... use superglue and NYLON braided line along with the fine cutting tool trick.... aka- skip steel braided all together. Honestly Steel Braided is bad anyway.. Once installed it cuts like a chainsaw thru anything that touches it fairly quickly.. Electrical wires.. body panel pieces, coolant hoses, etc etc... Its just not worth using it at all.
What works even better is the actually cutting tool for stainless line. I recently got one from summit and it's a game changer
These things suck .an hose. If I knew the pain the ass it was gunna be. Lol. I still would of got em .
Lol
