Brake Fittings
Brake fittings for building or repairing a racing brake line, covering the adapters and connectors between the master cylinder, lines and calipers. The range includes caliper fittings in straight and 90 degree configurations, line-to-AN adapters that step 3/16 inch steel line up to -3AN or -4AN, inverted flare unions and tees for joining or splitting lines, and NPT adapters for fitting into calipers and distribution blocks.
Sizing is the main thing to get right. Check the thread on your caliper or line (commonly 1/8 NPT or 3/16 inverted flare) and match it to the AN size you're running, either -3AN or -4AN. Straight fittings suit a direct run, while 90 degree fittings are handy where space around the caliper is tight.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know what size fitting I need?
Check the thread size on your caliper or master cylinder, usually 1/8 NPT, and the line size you're running, usually 3/16 inch, then match that to the AN size (-3AN or -4AN) your brake line or hose uses.
What's the difference between a straight and a 90 degree caliper fitting?
A straight fitting runs the line directly off the caliper, while a 90 degree fitting turns the line sideways, which is useful when there's limited clearance around the caliper or chassis.
What is an inverted flare fitting used for?
Inverted flare fittings are used with 3/16 inch steel brake line and are common in tees, unions and adapters for splitting or joining brake lines.
