AN fitting too big

[c2ypt1c]

So I ordered a -4an feed line, a -10an return line, along with some fittings. My problem is the red cap for the -4an fitting seems too big for the ss hose. The main nipple that pushes into the hose looks good though. Should I crimp the red cap down or leave it loose or what?

No issues at all with the -10an fitting...

Are they the same brand hose and fitting?

I'm not 100% sure but I would think they are. Ordered everything from extremepsi.

Call them up and explain, those guys are awesome to work with.

 

[jpmxrider489]

I never had this issue. But call extreme there great to work with.

Yeah, I totally agree their customer service is second to none.

Okay, will do. Thanks for your input.

Well how loose is it? Because it will tighten up quite a bit when you push the blue piece in. And are you sure you have the braided line in far enough?

I was thinking it would expand once the nipple is in, but it is rediculously loose. I can slide the hose in and out of the red cap, no problem. Conversely, the -10an is going to take the normal forceful twisting and whatnot get the hose inside the cap.

The oil feedline kit from extremepsi is teflon, not rubber AN hose, for anyone who searches and sees this.

I picked up some some standard AN hose and verified that the fittings now...fit

You beat me to it, I was going to comment that, the teflon ss line is way thinner then the rubber one and will not be able to be hooked up with regular AN fittings.

But, good thing you figure it out.
