As other reviewers have noted, you get what you pay for. Other fittings may be easier to fit and I had to work hard to fit my braided hose into this fitting (90 deg 10AN). The secret is to understand that the hose thread is left-handed. Therefore, when inserting the hose into the fitting before assembly, be sure to turn it in the opposite direction as you expect. You may have to use a flathead screwdriver to pry in the protruding braid threads, but it'll get there in the end!
