The most common JIC fitting is the JIC 37-degree flare fitting, often referred to as the JIC 37° fitting. This type of fitting is widely used in hydraulic systems due to its reliable, leak-proof metal-to-metal seal and compatibility with various tubing and hose materials.
To identify JIC fittings, first measure the outer diameter of the male thread or the inner diameter of the female thread using a caliper. Then, compare these measurements to a JIC thread size chart to determine the correct size, ensuring the fitting has a 37-degree flare angle, characteristic of JIC fittings.
JIC fitting stands for Joint Industry Council fitting, which is a type of hydraulic fitting commonly used in high-pressure applications. These fittings feature a 37-degree flare seating surface that provides a reliable, leak-free connection, making them popular in various industries, including automotive and aerospace.
The 1/4 JIC refers to a type of fitting thread used in hydraulic systems, specifically following the Joint Industry Council (JIC) standards. The 1/4" JIC fitting typically has a 7/16-20 UNF (Unified National Fine) thread. This type of fitting is known for its 37-degree flare seating surface, which provides a reliable, leak-proof seal.
No, you should not use Teflon tape on JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings. JIC fittings create a metal-to-metal seal through their 37-degree flared design, and adding Teflon tape can interfere with the seal and lead to leaks. If sealing issues occur, it's important to check the fitting surfaces for damage or debris.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) and pipe thread are two different types of fittings used for connecting pipes and hoses. JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare seating surface to create a metal-to-metal seal, while pipe threads, such as NPT (National Pipe Thread), rely on tapered threads to create a seal by wedging the threads together. JIC fittings are generally preferred in high-pressure applications for their reliability and ease of assembly, whereas pipe threads are more common in plumbing and low-pressure applications.
