Auto-Fit ends provide the reliability and appearance of Swivel-Seal, but are less expensive. The Auto-Fit nipple is pushed into rather than threaded into the hose. The hose is compressed between the nipple and the socket, sealing at the barbs. Hose retention is positive (the same as Swivel-Seal) and there is no spiral path for possible leaks.
Available anodized in Red/Blue finish.

Is Teflon tape required on the AN side of the threads or fittings that receive the hose end?

A:

The AN side of a fitting is designed to seal on the 37 degree machined taper. Teflon tape is not required at this connection point. |
