Ok guys i am looking for a fitting to screw into my catch can? The can has a 10AN fitting in it and i am trying to run my vac lines to it? I am not sure what size the vac lines are i would have to say like 1/4 inch or so? I was hoping to find a barbed 10An fitting that was 1/4 on the other side but haven't came across one. If you have any other methods please feel free to chime in. thanks

Check the air compressor section at your favorite hardware store. Take the can and a piece of hose with you.

You want bigger than 1/4" lines going to the catch can. 3/8" minimum, 1/2" - 5/8" preffered.

Most catch cans have a 1/2" NPT thread on them for a fitting. 1/4" hose uses a size -4AN.

You can get something like a 1/2"NPT to -4AN fitting that screws into the can then just put a -4AN fitting on the hose

Ya i ordered a 10AN to 6AN adapter fitting. I am pretty sure the Vac lines are 5/16. I have a 6AN barbed fitting coming so i will just be able to push the 5/16 rubber over the barbs and screw it on the can. Thanks for the help again.
