Tech Question: -12an fittings
What does -12an mean? what is that unit "an", and why is the number quoted as a negative? Also, what is the outer diameter of a -12an male fitting?
I'm getting the Stef's Air/Oil Separator and it comes with the -12an in and out fittings, and I already have the hoses and quick disconnect fittings (from my Steeda Air/Oil Separator that doesn't separate all the oil).
Thank you in advance for the education!

that's the size of the hose, is not negative is dash 12. I would wait until you receive the catch cand and then go to a store to get the fittings, you wan to use the same size hose that is now on the car. I think those Stef's catch cans come on that size because the are used a lot on imports and the use smaller breather hoses. The bigger the number the smaller the diameter on the hose.

AN stands for Army-Navy. It's an old way of measurement. Look here for more information.

the dash number is the hose fitting size in 1/16" increments. So a -12 is 3/4", -8 is 1/2". etc. It is usyall incorporated in the suffix of the part number.
