Replacement Sockets for 28000 and 29000 Series PTFE Hose Ends

When a PTFE line is cut down or a socket gets damaged, a replacement socket saves buying a whole new hose end. This collection covers the Vibrant Performance replacement sockets for the 28000 and 29000 series PTFE hose ends, in common AN sizes. They mate only with the matching Vibrant series nipples.

Rebuild tip

Pair a new socket with a new olive insert whenever you rebuild a PTFE line, since the olive does the sealing.

Do these fit other brands? No. Use them with Vibrant 28000 and 29000 series ends only.

How to Choose

Start with the hose or line size, then the port you are connecting to. AN sizes run in sixteenths of an inch, so -6 AN is 6/16 or 3/8 inch, -8 AN is 1/2 inch and -10 AN is 5/8 inch. Then match the other end: AN flare, NPT pipe thread, ORB with an O-ring, or metric. Pick the angle that points the line where it needs to go without a tight bend right at the fitting.

Common Questions

Do AN fittings need thread sealant?

No. AN fittings seal on the 37 degree flare, so sealant on the flare or threads is not needed. Only tapered NPT threads need a sealant.

What is the difference between AN and ORB?

AN fittings seal on a 37 degree flare. ORB fittings use straight threads and seal with an O-ring at the base of the thread, which makes them very leak resistant in ports.
