34884, -4AN possible replacement??
Posted by Collente, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hey guys,
I know that the fitting on the fuel rail of a 97+ eclipse is a -4AN fitting. Well I am having a hard time finding one where I live. I have checked 3 different places, and all a no. Is there any other measurment that you know that will fit? Possibly a metric of some sort (ie. 3/8, 5/16, 1/40)? The turbo goes in on sat, so all help asap is appreciated.
TIA!

I get all of those fittings from summit. You can call them up and tell them the exact fitting you need and they will have it.

-4an is 1/4npt, but it won't seal as well. When it comes to sealing a fuel line, I'd wait and make sure you get the right thing, but it's up to you. Summitracing.com or anplumbing.com will both have exactly what you need.
I get my parts from a fluid power (industrial hydraulics) place which sells parker products. Look in the phone book for some such place in your area or get it shipped overnight from summit.

It looks like I will go with the 1/4 fitting with some sealent for now, untill the -4AN fitting comes. I appreciate all of your help, the turbo is going in tomarow and tonight (and most likley sun :) )
I feel like a little school girl ;)
Thanks!

the -4 designation is per 16th. an -8AN would be 1/2 (or 8/16) a -4AN will be 1/4 (4/16). check the thread depth or just go get the right fitting. Personally, I wouldn't use the npt, I'd make sure I got the correct AN fitting especially for fuel in the engine bay. Summit can have it to you by Tues if you order it tomorrow.
*EDIT*
or try some of your local hydraulic stores. I searched for hydraulic in yahoo in springville, ut. There's tons of places near you. Call them up.
