AN Fittings
I'm lucky to have an Earls store local, I use what the man says I need. He's like me about Made in USA.
I lean toward using the industrial steel fittings when applicable, and hard tube where possible.

For the black hose I use these for -12 and below.

Sharp chisel cutting hose off by smacking in to a piece of aluminum works great! No bits of rubber like a cutoff wheel leaves behind and it keeps the steel braids from fraying.

Be careful using hydraulic fittings, they have the same dash/JIC designation but since they are for hyd hose which is thicker, the entry of the hose end is quite smaller. -6 and -8 are more for pressure than volume.
