What size AN fitting is this? Pic's included

My old oil drain setup for my turbo failed so I bought a kit off of Scrub. I installed the kit, I believe the line is way to long and the oil is sitting in the line causing smoke to come from the underside of the turbo and exhaust shoots smoke when I get on the throttle. So I would like to shorten this SS line but need to order a new fitting for it or try jeg's push-loc hose. OD measures to 3/4" so I am guessing it's a -12AN but would like to see what others think because I would like to drive my car and def dont feel like ordering the wrong fitting's!

If i´m not misstaking AN measurements is metric ID. so an AN12 would be about 1/2 inch ID... But i´m not betting my life on it! And by the looks of your pics it´s AN12 if my theory is correct.

Here's the website I found

http://www.kennysrodshop.com/parts/b.../XRP-tech.html

states 3/4" OD is -12AN

The ID of the fitting is 1/2"

Yeah AN is pretty simple...just take the AN number and throw a 16 under it...then simplify like you did in math class.

If you have inches, you can still figure it out if you need to convert into a 16th.

-2 AN = 2/16 (1/8)
-3 AN = 3/16
-4 AN = 4/16 (1/4)
-6 AN = 6/16 (3/8)
-8 AN = 8/16 (1/2)
-10 AN = 10/16 (5/8)
-12 AN = 12/16 (3/4)

and so on...

The link I posted above answered my question. The ID of the hose is the same ID as the fitting, so the fitting's ID is just under 1/2" which is a -8AN. The first site I posted had me confused to hell and back measuring the OD. Measuring the ID is the best and simplest way to go about it to me.

I am about to try out that push-lok hose jeg's has, seems like a very simple thing. If the hose is to long you can cut it and put it back together easily.
