Need Help finding 4an male fitting.

[87 WE2]

I cannot seem to find anywhere a male -4an hose end. I need a -4an male end on a -4an line.

If anyone knows were to get one, please help.

I have found them in -6an (see pic) but nothing in -4an. Pic of what I need below:

gntxc2 would probably (definatly) know. I would PM him or maybe he'll poke his head in here.

They only go down to -6 here too BUT you can use one of the reducing adapters on this page. Got to be an easier way to do what you want though. Clue us in on what you are doing.

No room for all of that stuff I just want clean hose ends, Its for an inline oil filter to the turbo in a stock size braided line stock location hidden out of sight.

I found a 4an-4an male union thats not too bad it might be the way I end up going. This filter I got has a male 4an end and female 4an end which is making it tricky, but it filters down to 10 mic so Im willing to make it work. I am replacing my current filter which was in the same line, it only filters to 60 mic. has worked great just want more filtering capability.

Is the female end of the filter, -4AN threads? Is the end open or does it seal against the AN flare? A pic would help.

Both ends of the filter are an threads its an open female end with a an tapered seat. It will seat right against a male AN hose end. I just need to find one, I can get a pic if nessesary but I know I need a 4an hose end with a male 4an threaded end with the an taper on the end to seal.

I think that union adapter is going to be your best bet.

-4an male to male coupling with a 4an std hose end is all i could find to get what you want

im assuming this is for a filter for turbo oil feed or is it something non buick

it is for braided hose and will crimp on , would have to spin the filter on though

Thanks for the help Paul, yea its for a turbo oil feed line filter. I am going to check out the place in Philly. If that does not work out I'll get the adapter.

Bad design. I would opt for the end to be open and use an o-ring seal. After a few filter changes, the AN seal will deteriote. I'm not a fan of a twisting motion to seal against the AN taper.

It should be OK as long as he breaks the hose end connection if he needs to and leaves the adapter in the housing.
