Thumbnail Filmstrip of 2501-08-08 | 1/2" JIC Male x 1/2" NPTF Male Pipe 90° Images
A 2501-08-08 | 1/2" JIC male x 1/2" NPTF male pipe 90 degree hydraulic adapter is a type of hydraulic fitting that connects a female JIC 37 degree flare fitting to a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread in a 90 degree angle. The male JIC fitting has a 37 degree flare seat that seals against a female JIC fitting with a matching flare seat. The male NPTF pipe thread has tapered threads that create a tight seal when threaded into a female NPTF thread.

The numbers on hydraulic fittings refer to the size and type of the fittings. They can indicate the fitting's thread size, pitch, and compatibility with other components. This information was sourced from "Hydraulic Hose Fittings Guide: How to Find the Right One" on the Hydraulics Direct website (https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/Unde...), specifically under the sections "Understanding the Numbers" and "Choosing the Right Fitting".
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.
To identify types of hydraulic fittings, you can look at the thread type (such as NPT, BSP, or metric), the sealing method (like O-ring, metal-to-metal, or tapered), and the fitting shape (such as elbow, tee, or straight). Additionally, checking the manufacturer's specifications and using a thread gauge can help ensure accurate identification.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) and NPT (National Pipe Taper) are two different types of fittings used in fluid systems. JIC fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface and are typically used for high-pressure applications, providing a metal-to-metal seal. NPT fittings have a tapered thread that seals by wedging the threads together, often requiring a sealant like Teflon tape, and are commonly used in low to medium pressure applications.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) and NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings are not directly compatible because they have different thread types and sealing mechanisms. JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare for sealing, while NPT fittings rely on tapered threads that require thread sealant. Adapter fittings are available to connect the two types if needed.
To identify the size of a JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting, measure the outside diameter of the male threads or the inside diameter of the female threads using calipers. Then, use a thread pitch gauge to determine the number of threads per inch (TPI) and refer to a JIC fitting size chart to match these measurements with the appropriate fitting size.
