What Are 37 Degree Fittings?
37-degree fittings, commonly known as AN (Army-Navy) fittings, are a type of flared tube fitting designed to provide a secure, leak-free connection in high-pressure hydraulic and fluid transfer systems. Their defining characteristic is the 37-degree flare angle on the tube end, which creates a robust metal-to-metal seal when mated with the fitting. This design adheres to SAE J514 standards, ensuring interchangeability and consistent performance across various manufacturers. They are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications where reliability and durability are paramount.
These fittings consist of a body, a sleeve (or nut), and the flared tube end. When assembled, the sleeve compresses the flared tube end against the fitting’s seat, creating a tight seal that can withstand high pressures and vibrations. Their versatility stems from their ability to handle a wide range of fluids, including hydraulic oil, fuel, and gases. The precision engineering and robust construction of 37-degree fittings make them a preferred choice for critical applications where leaks cannot be tolerated.

how to install 37 degree fittings?
Installing 37-degree AN fittings requires precision and attention to detail to ensure a leak-free connection.
Here’s a step-by-step guide about 37 degree hydraulic fitting installation.
1. Gather Necessary Tools and Materials:
- 37-degree AN fittings (correct size and material)
- Tubing (correct size and material)
- Flaring tool (37-degree flare)
- Tubing cutter
- Deburring tool
- Wrenches (appropriate sizes)
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Lubricant (for flaring)
- Safety glasses and gloves
2. Prepare the Tubing:
- Measure and mark the tubing for the desired length.
- Using the tubing cutter, cut the tubing squarely.
- Use the deburring tool to remove any sharp edges or burrs from the inside and outside of the cut ends. This is crucial for a proper flare.
3. Flare the Tubing:
- Slide the sleeve (nut) onto the tubing. Ensure it’s oriented correctly.
- Lubricate the flaring tool and the inside of the tubing end.
- Insert the tubing into the 37-degree flaring tool, ensuring the tubing extends the correct distance.
- Follow the flaring tool’s instructions to create a 37-degree flare on the tubing end.
- Inspect the flare for any cracks, splits, or unevenness. A perfect, smooth flare is essential.
4. Assemble the Fitting:
- Carefully slide the flared tubing end into the fitting body.
- Slide the sleeve (nut) forward and engage the threads.
- Hand-tighten the sleeve (nut) onto the fitting body.
5. Tighten the Connection:
- Using the appropriate wrenches, tighten the sleeve (nut) to the specified torque. Refer to the manufacturer‘s specifications or a torque chart for the correct torque value.
- Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the flare or the fitting.
- It is critical to use two wrenches, one to hold the fitting body, and one to tighten the nut.
6. Inspect the Installation:
- Visually inspect the connection for any signs of leaks or damage.
- If possible, perform a pressure test to ensure the connection is secure.
- Check for proper alignment.
7. Clean Up:
- Remove any debris or contaminants from the installation area.
Important Considerations:
- Always use the correct flaring tool for 37-degree flares.
- Ensure the tubing and fittings are compatible with the fluid being conveyed and the operating pressure.
- Follow the manufacturer‘s instructions for the specific fittings being installed.
- Use proper torque values to prevent leaks and damage.
- Always inspect the flare for cracks or other imperfections.
- When working with hydraulic systems, make sure all pressure is relieved before starting any work.
