Aeromotive 13101 FPR fittings I got the Areomotive adjustable FPR part # 13109 with dual 10an inlets and a 6an return. Problem is, is that it didn't come with the fittings. The threads seem to be metric since nothing in the NPT department fit. The inside diameter of the -10 side is .830" and when converted to metric equal 20.9mm's. I'm assuming the fitting is a 20x1.5mm to -10an since I haven't seen a 21mm. The return side has a ID of .530"s and converts to 13.4 mm's. I would assume that this is either a 12mm or 14mm x 1.5 thread to -6an fitting. I have no metric fittings to try out, so I was going to see if any of you have had any expierience with metric fittings. Thanks, Jason

should be 1/2" npt threads. not metric. most -10 AN (jic) fittings cross straight to 1/2" w/ no reduction. if they absolutely dont fit, call aeromotive.

Well, let's just say the plumbing department at Lowes didn't have any NPT fittings that would fit. For the 10 an ports, a 3/4 inch NPT plug would thread, but it was loose. It was just a bit to small. The 6an port was the same. it was inbetween 1/4 npt and 1/2 npt.

the fittings are radiused pump fittings with o-rings. I just bought the 13109 ( the -6an version) and used earls part #985006 (-6an to -6an)fittings.
If you are using -10an fuel line, and I assume you are since you got the 13101, then your earls part # would be 985010 (-10an hose to -10an port).

in your box you should've received a little piece of paper (I did in mine,almost tossed it in the trash because it was so small) warning you that the threads are not npt threads and you need to use a fitting such as the earls with an o-ring seal.

if you happen to have or know someone that has a lathe, just get two -10 unions and one -6 union and the corresponding o-rings and make your own. cut down the one end of the union so it doesn't bottom out. i had to do the same thing for my regulator, a -10 to -6 union was alot cheaper than a -10 to -6 o-ring fitting.
