#6 Str Auto-Mate

The #6 Str Auto-Mate from EARLS is a precision hose end fitting engineered for high-performance fluid transfer systems in automotive and motorsport applications. This straight adapter connects 6 AN hose barbs to 6 AN female ports, making it an essential component for custom fuel lines, coolant systems, and brake fluid routing. Built for technicians and enthusiasts who demand reliable, leak-free connections under pressure, this fitting serves as a critical junction point in performance fuel systems, turbo cooling lines, and competition-grade hydraulic setups.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, the #6 Str Auto-Mate delivers both durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The straight-flow geometry minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, critical factors in systems where fuel delivery speed and consistency affect engine performance. The Auto-Mate quick-disconnect design allows tool-free coupling and uncoupling, streamlining system assembly, maintenance, and component swaps without draining fluid lines or introducing contamination. The 6 AN barb sizing accommodates hoses with robust flow capacity while maintaining compatibility with standard motorsport plumbing standards.

This fitting is ideal for custom fuel system builders, race teams, and high-performance engine builders constructing fuel-injected platforms, turbocharged setups, and competition vehicles. The compact footprint—measuring 0.85 x 0.85 x 3 inches and weighing just 0.02 lbs—fits tight engine bays and complex hose routing scenarios. Installation requires standard hose-barb connection methods and compatible 6 AN female ports; ensure proper hose clamp sizing and torque specifications per EARLS guidelines and your system's pressure rating for optimal performance and safety.
