A FJX-08-08 | 1/2" hose x 1/2" JIC 37° female swivel is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 1/2" inside diameter and a JIC 37° female swivel fitting with a 1/2" tube size and a nominal thread size of 3/4"-16. The JIC 37° female swivel fitting has a cone-shaped seat that mates with a 37° flare on the male fitting, providing a reliable seal in high-pressure hydraulic applications.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
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".
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.
No, JIC (Joint Industry Council) thread and NPT (National Pipe Thread) are not the same. JIC threads are a type of flare fitting with a 37-degree flare seating surface, while NPT threads are tapered threads used for sealing pipes and fittings. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
