    Have 1/4" NPT male end that I want to connect to a 4 or 6 AN fitting. I know there must be an adapter that will let me go from NPT to AN but can't find one; does the adapter have to have a flare on the end for NPT male as shown in photo? NPT MALE.jpg

    Check out a tractor supply style store. They call AN fittings JIC in steel. Not a problem. Also Aeroquip or any of the other aluminum AN hose fitting makers will have them.

    Your going to need a 1/4 NPT coupling first for the AN adapter to screw into.
     
  5. Just grabbed mine from the local Auto parts house.

    I often use Discount Hydraulics for JIC fittings. Same as An without the FAA paperwork. No Aluminum, but they do have stainless, br*** and standard steel.

    Searched SPEEDWAY online and can't find female NPT end with AN male on the other end.
    Did find 1/4"X1/4" female coupler both ends that would let me then use 1/4" NPT with 4AN fitting but wouldn't the coupler have to have a flare in it to work with the 1/4" NPT male end? Am I making this more complicated than necessary?
