Female AN to Male AN Reducer (Step Down)

A 10AN flare staring at a 6AN hose end is not a standoff you can win with force.

Male flares are what they are; it's the fitting that has to adapt. The Finish Line Factory Female AN to Male AN Reducer (Step Down) threads its female side onto an existing male AN flare from 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN, 16AN and presents a new male flare down to a smaller size, 3AN, 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN. One swivel-on part converts the port and the plumbing continues in the size the system needs.

Benefits

• Threads engage square and glide home, no cross-thread roulette
• The flare lands with a solid, definite stop you can trust
• Spins onto the existing flare by hand before the wrench ever comes out
• The size change happens at the port, so no upstream line needs touching

Features

• Female AN swivel nut on one end, male AN flare on the other
• Female side: 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN, 16AN; male side: 3AN, 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, 10AN, 12AN
• Steps a large male flare down for smaller plumbing
• 37 degree flare sealing at both connections
• Suits fuel, oil, water, and air delivery
• Sold as a single fitting

The Details

Seals metal to metal on the 37 degree AN flare, no sealant, no tape, ever. The female nut on this adapter swivels, which is the quiet convenience: it threads onto the existing male flare without rotating the whole fitting body, so the male end can be held at any orientation while the nut draws down. Stepping down suits returns, gauge feeds, vents, and any branch whose flow demand is smaller than the port it taps; avoid strangling a primary feed just because the fitting exists. Back up the adapter body with an aluminum wrench while attaching the next hose end so the two joints torque independently, and inspect both flare faces before assembly; the seal is only as good as the smoothest scratch on either cone.
