What is a female JIC?

37° JIC adapter fittings have a 37° cone seat on the female adapter and a 37° flare on the male adapter. This cone seat and flare allows for a complete mechanical seal between the male and female fitting. JIC fittings are an excellent choice for preventing leaks and can be used for higher pressure applications.

Is JIC compatible with NPT?

JIC fittings is absolute different seal, not interchangeable. JIC hydraulic fittings is used in high pressure system, NPT fittings is used in low-pressure system.

What thread is JIC?

JIC fittings are dimensionally identical to AN (Army-Navy) fittings, but are produced to less exacting tolerances and are generally less costly. SAE 45-degree flare fittings are similar in appearance, but are not interchangeable, though dash sizes 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 14, and 16 share the same thread size.

Do JIC fittings need Teflon tape?

Registered User. You don’t need or should use any teflon tape or pipe dope on hydraulic fittings. Neither are designed for those kinds of pressures and using them could create a less then perfect mating between connection surfaces causing more harm than good.

ARE AN fittings the same as JIC?

The majority of the hydraulic population agrees, the JIC (or SAE) 37 degree fittings are generally interchangeable with AN fittings. And it’s worth noting that the JIC fittings are a fraction of the price of their true “AN” counterparts.

How can you tell the difference between JIC and NPT fittings?

The difference is the way each thread seals. While the JIC seals on a metal-to-metal flare, the ORB seals on an O-ring, which offers the best leak free connection. NPT Pipe Threads: NPT pipe threads are your traditional tapered thread fittings and have been used for 100 years.

What is the difference between JIC and NPT?

What size is #6 JIC fitting?

JIC 37° Flare (SAE J514)

Is it OK to use Teflon tape on hydraulic fittings?

You don’t need or should use any teflon tape or pipe dope on hydraulic fittings. Neither are designed for those kinds of pressures and using them could create a less then perfect mating between connection surfaces causing more harm than good.

Is Teflon tape a sealant or a lubricant?

Teflon tape is a white, nonstick tape that actually serves as a lubricant as the threaded parts of a piping system are connected. That means that Teflon tape, to put it precisely, isn’t a really a sealant, but it is used to prevent leaking. The tape does stop leaks by clogging the thread paths.

What does JIC mean in fittings?

Joint Industry Council
JIC (or Joint Industry Council) fittings, defined by SAE J514, are compression fittings machined with a 37 degree flare seating surface and parallel threads. They are commonly manufactured in nickel alloys, brass, carbon & stainless steel.
