Thumbnail Filmstrip of 6801-06-08 | 3/8" JIC Male x #8 SAE/ORB Male 90° Images
A 6801-06-08 | 3/8" JIC male x #8 SAE/ORB male 90° hydraulic adapter is a type of hydraulic fitting that allows connection between two different types of hydraulic components with different threads. This adapter has a JIC 37° male fitting on one end, which has a cone-shaped seat that mates with a 37° flare on the female fitting. The other end has a #8 SAE/ORB male fitting, which features straight threads and an O-ring to create a seal. The 90° angle of the adapter allows for a change in direction of the fluid flow, which can be useful for routing hoses in tight spaces or for other applications where a specific hose routing is required.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
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 (Joint Industry Council) fittings are characterized by their 37-degree flared sealing surface, which ensures a metal-to-metal seal, primarily used in high-pressure hydraulic applications. ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings, on the other hand, utilize an O-ring in a straight-thread design to create a leak-tight seal, making them ideal for applications requiring a robust, reliable seal against fluid leakage.
