WHAT DOES AN AND DASH MEAN?
Hoses and connection threads are usually given in dash sizes in motorsport. Dash sizes are based on American Air-Force and Navy (AN) specifications and are calculated as follows: Multiply the nominal hose diameter (specified internationally in inches) by 16. For example, a 1/2" hose is a Dash 8 and a 1" hose the size Dash 16.
The appropriate connections and threads are also given in Dash (AN). The most common thread type used in motorsport is the JIC tapered thread (now SAE 37°), where the male thread has a convex taper and the female thread has a concave taper of 37°, eliminating the need for a sealing ring.
The designation of the JIC thread is either in the Dash size, eg 3 JIC or -3AN or with the thread dimension in inches eg 3/8 JIC or 3/8x24 JIC. Just like metric threads, JIC threads are specified with the actual diameter of the external thread.
VERSATILE APPLICABLE
The hose fittings and associated hydraulic hoses from FAMEFORM are suitable for a wide variety of applications and can be integrated into oil, water and fuel circuits, for example. They are resistant to E85 and, in the case of PTFE, also to methanol. 6061-T6 aluminum fittings and adapters are CNC machined to US AN and JIC industry standard specifications. Thanks to the unique screw connections, the lines are tight and pressure-resistant up to 650 bar (depending on size and version) without a pressing tool.
Depending on the area of application, we recommend turning at least one side.
