37 Newton Meters. its how tight it should be.

 

37nm is the torque spec not the size.

not sure the exact size female you need. i usually just cut it off and start over with a new compression fitting to get to whatever, like AN6 for example.

 

Damn so i got that..it just means the torque rating on that bolt but what about the correct size?

Ive searched and searched but keep comming up with all diffrent answers..

Or if i dont have to re-use that bolt what else can i use to attach that line to an an fitting? Please provide a pic or part number thanks!

like whats a "commpresion fitting"?

Okay so i finally found what it is that im looking for hopefully this helps out anybody else that wants to do this...

ITS A TUBE NUT COUPLER and SLEEVE ...Tube nut couplers and sleeves allow you to attach hard line to AN fitting. You will need to flare the tube to 37deg to match the AN fittings (not 45deg)

here is what a coupler looks like



and well i couldnt find a pic of what a sleeve looks like but i basically goes inside the coupler to seel it. and then you attach that to an AN fitting.

 

It's 12x1.5mm or 12x1.25mm I can't remember which. Good luck finding a female fitting that will accept that.
