I am assembling a hydraulic system to run a camera crane on a truck for filmmaking purposes. The system will be run off a GM Type II automotive power steering pump that generates no more than 1500psi. Are aluminum AN fittings okay to use at this pressure?

If the size you use is rated for at least 1500 psi. AN fitting have a range of pressure ratings.
