Home Improvement fastening designed to create secure connections in fuel lines, pumps and filters. AC PERFORMANCE AN6 to 3/8 Swivel Hose Barb Fitting suits mechanics and DIYers who need a lightweight, anodised aluminium fitting, but does the size and connection match your existing hoses and fittings?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Connection Type: Female AN6 thread to 3/8 inch push-on barb (9.52mm)
- • Best for: Fuel line, fuel pump and fuel filter installations
- • Not ideal for: Hoses or fittings that require a different barb or AN size
Straight female AN6 to 3/8-inch push-on barb in anodised black aluminium. Precision-machined components meet or exceed minimum requirements for hose fittings.
Reliable sealing – thanks to precision-machined aluminium alloy construction
Precision machining produces tight tolerances where the AN6 thread mates with hoses and fittings, reducing gaps that can lead to leaks. Anodised aluminium surfaces maintain dimensional stability and resist surface wear during installation.
Tighter connections lower the chance of fuel seepage and reduce maintenance checks. Suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly without rapid degradation.
Straightforward hose attachment – with a 3/8-inch (9.52mm) push-on barb
A 3/8-inch barb profile accepts push-on hoses sized to 9.52mm, giving a direct friction fit that commonly works with standard fuel hoses. Female AN6 threading provides a widely used thread interface for fuel-system components.
Quick installations are possible without specialised adapters when matching hose and AN6 fittings are available. Ideal for repairs and small modifications on pumps and filters.
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant finish – thanks to anodised aluminium material
Aluminium alloy construction keeps mass low while meeting or exceeding stated minimum requirements for hose fittings, and an anodised black surface adds a protective oxide layer. The finish resists surface corrosion and improves abrasion resistance.
Reduced weight helps in compact or weight-sensitive assemblies, while the anodised finish prolongs service life in typical fuel-system environments. Appearance remains uniform under normal use.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for AC PERFORMANCE AN6 to 3/8 Swivel Hose Barb Fitting
- Precision-machined aluminium — Tighter seals reduce risk of leaks in fuel systems
- Anodised black finish — Improves corrosion resistance and keeps fitting looking new
- Female AN6 thread — Works directly with standard AN6 male fittings without adapters
- 3/8-inch barb (9.52mm) — Accepts common 3/8-inch hoses for straightforward push-on connections
