Key Features & Benefits – AN6 SAE quick connector 5/16" (8mm) female
The AN6 SAE quick connector 5/16" (8mm) female is a fixed-style quick connector designed for oil, fuel, water, and air systems. The body is 6061-T6 aluminum with a blue anodized finish.
The quick-connector concept supports fast connect/disconnect where your setup needs a serviceable junction. The connection is secured by push-fit engagement, so correct thread sizing and clean sealing faces are the key points during installation.
When is this useful?
This is useful when you want a quick-break joint that combines a 6AN side with a 5/16" (8 mm) female side, and you can route the line so the connection sits without side load.
