Okay, I think I know AN fittings. ( -1 AN = 1/16" inch so AN -8 = 1/2")



And I know what an NPT fitting is, but looking at alternatives for an oil-filter relocator (mount) I see FPT for some models intended for American cars.

FPT: Fine Pitch Technology

I have no idea, but it's not a TCP protocol for transferring files that uses port 21 to control the connection and port 20 for the data flow. :-)

Yes, that's what I found, too. Different pitches. Which is probably why some manufacturers supply their own hose adapters and others use NPT ->

AN. IMHO, AN is the only way to go.
