Default socketless hose on stock fuel rail?

How will i be able to use socketless hose on my ls1. im going from hard line to the fuel rail, is there anything i can do to make it work, like maybe hardline to softline adaptors or something? i want to run it from a new cell to a inline fuel pump to the hardlines then obviously from the line to the engine. would it be better to go from just the tank to the engine or would it be pointless, and just use my hardlines with it?

like the aeromotive socketless softline fuel hose?
I used that and figured it would have been cheaper to use the corvette fuel filter that has an integrated pressure regulator on it, I think '99+ LS1 style, and use GM fuel hoses, there are several different part #s for different lengths.

I used the socketless with russel adapters for the fuel rail and -6an fittings to the hose, with an aeromotive fpr and summit gauge, it wasnt cheap and I wouldnt do it that way again.

that will mate up to the LS1 rail and the Vette filters feed and outlet to the motor.

screw on a -6an fitting for your specific hose type and youre done.

you would need a smaller one for the return line on the Vette filter but you can use regular fuel hose and clamps for the return line since its not hi pressure like the feed is.

I had a -6AN male fitting welded to the fuel rail.
