Oil lines - DAS, AN, BSP... what do these mean?
Hi, I am looking to buy an Accusump and an oil filter. To connect these, I need to ensure that the filter threads and line sizes will match.
Accusump suggested AN -10 size lines with their product. What is this standard? Mocal has DAS and mm sizes... can anyone explain what is compatible
with what?
Thanks!

Have a look at http://www.speedflow.co.uk/tech/index.html
They have a series of PDF's you can download.
If I was you, I'd talk to them, or ThinkAuto, about your proposed system, and get all the components from one source.

that will answer the problem, but in summary, most pipe fittings used in the automotive world are british (bsp very often) BUT in the aftermarket and
tuning and racing world, the americans got there first, so everything pretty much uses UNF threads. The various "AN" sizes are american
pipe fittings, which use various UNF threads and convex male thread fittings with concave female thread fittings (the reverse of normal BSP
fittings)
The "-" in AN sizes refers to the size of the bore of pipe the fitting was designed for, in sixteenths of and inch, thus "-3"
is 3/16" bore i.e. std car brake pipe size................
all clear as mud??
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
