?s on AN fittings
I am new to the use of AN fittings and have a few questions. What do you lube the threads with? ( AN to AN ) I have chosen Summit Racings "twist-tite" push on hose & fittings for my swap. I would assume I am suspose to lube the hose before pushing the barb in. What is a good lube?
Anyone have a thread for AN do's & don'ts?
thanks,
JIm

And if they are the push lock hose I assembled mine in the kitchen. Wife loves that of course. But boil a pot of water and soak the hose in it, then quickly pull it out with some mitts and push on the fitting. I just use whatever oil I have laying around, most of the time its air tool oil cause my bottle is sitting there on top the tool box.

I personally havent had much luck with a hack saw and usually end up using a angle grinder or dremel with a cut off disc. Probly not the best way to go, but it sure is a clean cut.

The OP was asking about "Twist Tite" from Summit which is a push-on hose and is not braided stainless. Lubrication with oil on the barbed portion is commonly recommended as is the need to heat the hose prior to assembly (makes it far easier to install).
Immerse the end on the hose in boiling water or use a heat gun prior to install. I use a heat gun. What I found best was to make sure that once you start pushing the hose onto the fitting, try to do it all in one motion (keep the hose moving until seated; once it stops it's hard to get it moving again if you didn't get it fully seated). Use gloves and get yourself positioned to push with a lot of force (I clamp the fitting so that I can push horizontally).

BEWARE
i used twist tite -10 on an oil cooler line with a moroso pan and twice have blown the lines off and poured about 8 quarts on the street. almost lost the motor. Since i have put clamps on all fittings to hopefully keep them on. I will most likely be replacing the lines in the near future. my oil pressure is about 80 psi at wot and 70 at idle

Thanks Andy. A heat gun worked like a charm. I know its an old thread. Just keeping info out there easy to find.

I've cut up to -16 braided stainless with the larger size chisel from Lowe's. I used to cut hose with a cut off wheel, would take me 2-3 tries to get the socket over even with tape and cutting jaws. Now I don't even tape the hose. One good hot with the chisel cuts it sharp enough to go right in the socket.
