Ron, once you read this, it will not be confusing any longer, it is actually quite simple.
The AN fittings adhere to a military standard, AN meaning Army Navy.
The dash numbers refer to the OD of the steel tubing, expressed as a fraction, in which the denominator is 16:
i.e. a dash 4 is 4/16 or 1/4" OD tubing
or a dash 6 is 6/16 or 3/8" OD tubing
or a dash 8 is 8/16 or 1/2" OD tubing
Simple huh?
