A 6500-12-12 | 3/4" JIC male x 3/4" JIC female swivel 90° hydraulic adapter is a type of hydraulic fitting that is used to connect two hydraulic hoses or components with JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings at a 90 degree angle. The fitting consists of two parts: a male JIC fitting with a 3/4" (0.5 inches) size on one end and a female JIC swivel fitting with a 3/4" tube size and a nominal thread size of 1-1/16"-12 on the other end, at a 90 degree angle.

NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings use a tapered thread to create a seal and are commonly used in plumbing and piping applications. JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings, on the other hand, utilize a 37-degree flare seating surface to create a metal-to-metal seal, making them suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems.
A #6 hydraulic fitting refers to a fitting with a 3/8-inch nominal size, as the "#6" corresponds to the six-sixteenths of an inch (3/8") in hydraulic system terminology. The actual dimensions of the fitting may vary depending on the specific type and standard (e.g., JIC, ORFS), but the nominal size remains consistent.
To identify if your hydraulic fittings are JIC (Joint Industry Council), check the fitting's flare angle; JIC fittings have a 37-degree flare. Additionally, JIC fittings are typically characterized by their straight threads and are often labeled with the SAE J514 standard.
JIC stands for Joint Industry Council, which developed the standards for these fittings. JIC fittings are commonly used in hydraulic systems due to their high-pressure capabilities and reliable sealing, characterized by a 37-degree flare seating surface.
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.
The standard for JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings is defined by the SAE J514 specification. These fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface, commonly used in hydraulic applications for providing a reliable, leak-proof seal.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings should be tightened to a point where they form a metal-to-metal seal without over-torquing, which could damage the fitting or cause leaks. Generally, hand-tighten the fitting, then use a wrench to further tighten it by approximately one to one and a half flats (hex sides) beyond hand-tight. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise torque values.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface, commonly used in North America for hydraulic applications. JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) fittings, on the other hand, typically have a 30-degree flare and are prevalent in Japanese and Asian equipment, with different thread types and sealing methods compared to JIC.
To determine if you have JIC (Joint Industry Council) or NPT (National Pipe Taper) fittings, check the thread type and angle. JIC fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface and use straight threads, while NPT fittings have a tapered thread designed to create a seal by wedging the threads together.
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.
