yet another fitting question......

[69chris]

i spose this could have gone anywhere but......

im using this type of hose.....

and i have been using this style of fitting for it....

however, im in need on one odd 90 and found one of these in my box of useful stuff....

will that ^^^^ fitting work with that hose or are they only for the braided stuff ??

cheers

As long as it's the same size (ie AN8 fitting and AN8 hose, not saying your daft ) it looks like it should.

Both work the same way.

uhm I would have said the cutter style fitting grips the steel braid via a thread in the nut I don't think it would grip nylon to the same extent

Yes both will work together.

There are two different types of fitting.

One is for the PTFE type hose and one for the Rubber hose. They are not interchangeable.

The fittings above look like they are both for use with the rubber hoses.

The fittings for PTFE hose will have an olive to go between the PTFE liner and the braid

You're only like to see the ptfe olive type in an-4 or -3.

And -6 as that's what I used for the EFI pressure hoses on mine - rubber was just too 'chunky'

thanks for the input guys, maybe i was just being tight and trying to use left overs but iv decided to push the boat right out there and bought 1 fitting that  i at least know will work with the hose i have,  if it hadn't have been for the head cooler, thus easier to get to, id prob chance it but its a pain in the dick to remove the tank now so would rather it was deffo right 1st time

cheers again
