Pvc valve an fitting size / oil catch can

hello fellow Miniacs.

I’ve been wanting to dress up my engine bay and getting rid of my rubber hose on my PVC to my oil catch can and replace it with an fittings. My rubber hose just feels out of place.


found this Tube to an fitting adapter to go out of my PCV valve Anyone done this before and know what size? Will this work? https://www.anhosefittings.com/racef...xoC63QQAvD_BwE

Want something like this. Going for the Braided nylon, the steel braided would be overkill lol




of nothing works. I found this as well.

It may not be inexpensive, but you can get specialized silicone hoses for use with catch cans:

Thank You yes I’m familiar with HPS they are one of my sponsors. But would still leave me with hose clamps.

want to get the “ an fittings “ that’s the goal.

Guess I’ll do the experiment. I’m thinking 3/8 and 6an fittings. I’ll post what fits.

To save cost. Will do the braided lines later. Went ahead and got the EZ clamps. Went with an6 size. Was able to fit a 3/8 hose. Way better than before. Looks like they all belong.
