Google it. There are many charts online that specify thread and fittings sizes of AN / JIC fittings. I'm thinkin wrench size may vary here and there, but thread size does not. Don't the fittings have a part no?

most likely not, cheap covid parts

ok, disregard, there wasnt s part number on the fittings i have, but they were clearly marked "summit"
i searched my emails, and found an order conformation from 6-7-2016...they are 6-AN

The OD may vary based on manufacturer, but generally -6 is 3/8" id, whereas -8 is 1/2" id.

That system is based on 1\16ths. So a -16 hose is 16/16ths of 1 inch.
A -8 would be a half inch. And so it goes.

Didnt mean to cut you, but -06 is very close to 3/8'' , -08 is very close to 1/2'' , easy to tell the diff. !

but that is ID, right?
so i got to add the fitting to it, and that is where i wasnt sure what to look for

You have to be careful with this stuff. There are many types of hose and fittings. Some fittings made for other types hoses, and they only have a part no. so unless you look it up, the hose AND the fittings, you can end up with a mismatch and leaks. Some hose is a nominal call out size. One popular multi purpose "single braid" hydraulic/ oil / air hose we used to deal with was just slang referred to as "Aeroquip" as they were the major brand in the area. It was used on a lot of systems on heavy trucks and equipment around here
The point is, that stuff if you had a no6 fitting and hose, was closer to 5/16 than 3/8. In other words it averages about a 16th smaller than the call-out part number.
The point? BE CAREFUL and make sure your fittings and hose ends and hose is all comatible
AND YOU DO KNOW?? right? the difference between AN/ JIC which is 37* flare, and SAE which is 45? Most common 45 flare (SAE) is brass, but not always. You occasionally see SAE in most any and same material as AN/ JIC
