AN Fittings

[Bruce A. Frank]

I have a print that, as best I can read it, calls for a fitting # AN
867-6. Is that a standard 3/8 tapered (NPT) thread fitting for welding
on fuel tanks? Can anyone point me to a chart that has pictures of the
AN fittings and possibly a translation to equiv. pipe or tube
specifications?

Here is a web sight that has fittings and descriptions. It looks like
on about page 6 is where the AN 867- fittings are. But it looks like
3/8 is a -3. they don't list a -6.

There are a couple of "Standard Aircraft Handbooks" out there:

1. I got one at the Airport Shoppe,at Reid-Hillview Airport.

2. Aircraft Spruce has one for $23.95, P/N 13-11400, on P. 619 of their
current catalog.

The AN 867-6D is a weldable flange fitting w/female NPT thread.

just to put the correct answer here in the replies.
an867-6 is a 3/4inch female pipe thread in a weldable fitting which is
2 1/4 inches diameter by 13/16th of an inch high.
