Regular hose ends

Hose ends for AN-hose
Hose ends for AN hose with rubber core are available in three variants from AN4-AN20 with associated hose in both steel braid and nylon braid.

-Hose end
The classic hose end that is mounted on a hose with a rubber core to fit a female thread in the end of the hose that fits the rest of the an-system.

-Hose end full-flow
Same principle as above, but with slightly coarser material to get a stronger fitting with the same flow as a regular AN hose end. A good alternative if you need stronger connections in a system.

-Hose end forged
A fitting that can withstand tough environments. These fittings can be advantageously mounted where there is an exposed environment and wear. The body between the press sleeve and the thread is forged and has a thicker material than ordinary fittings to be more brittle and not as sensitive to shocks and gravel spray. These are often used under the car fitted, for example, the gearbox and rear diff where it is a tough environment.

The hose used to above hose ends has a rubber core and is at least steel braided.

PTFE hose ends

Hose fitting PTFE
