When modern builders switch to E85, methanol, or high-pressure nitrous systems, standard rubber-lined hoses degrade and fail. They have to upgrade to PTFE (Teflon) lined hoses, which absolutely require specialized hardware. The Fragola -6 AN Straight PTFE Reusable Hose End is engineered specifically to seal against that rigid Teflon core.
Unlike standard AN fittings that simply crush a rubber hose, this 6000-series fitting uses a specialized internal ferrule (often called an "olive"). When assembled, the ferrule bites directly into the PTFE lining, creating a permanent, leak-proof mechanical seal that can handle extreme fluid pressures and corrosive racing fuels. The "Reusable" designation means that if a builder needs to change their plumbing routing later, they can simply cut the hose, buy a cheap replacement olive, and reuse this entire expensive aluminum fitting.
Key Features
-
PTFE-Specific Sealing: Designed exclusively for PTFE-lined stainless braided hoses. It prevents the fuel vapor permeation (the "garage gas smell") that plagues standard rubber lines.
-
360-Degree Swivel Head: The female -6 AN nut rotates independently from the hose. This allows fabricators to thread the fitting tightly onto a fuel rail or regulator without twisting and binding the stiff PTFE hose.
-
Aerospace-Grade Aluminum: CNC-machined in the USA from lightweight billet aluminum, ensuring it can handle high torque without cracking.
-
Reusable Design: The main fitting body and socket can be reused endlessly. Only the small internal brass/aluminum ferrule needs to be replaced if the line is disassembled.
