Thumbnail Filmstrip of MJ-06-06 | 3/8" Hose x 3/8" JIC Male Images
A MJ-06-06 | 3/8" hose x 3/8" JIC male fitting is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 3/8" inside diameter and a JIC male fitting with a 3/8" tube size and a nominal thread size of 9/16"-18. The JIC male fitting has a 37-degree flare that mates with a JIC female fitting, providing a reliable seal in high-pressure hydraulic applications.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
To determine the size of a JIC fitting, measure the outer diameter of the male threads or the inner diameter of the female threads and refer to a JIC size chart to match the measurement to the corresponding size. JIC fittings follow a standardized sizing system, typically listed in inches or millimeters.
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.
JIC stands for "Joint Industry Council," and it refers to a type of thread standard commonly used in hydraulic fittings. JIC threads have a 37-degree flare seating surface, which provides a metal-to-metal seal for high-pressure applications. This standard is widely used due to its reliability and compatibility with various hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic crimp fittings are generally not designed to be reused. Once crimped, the fitting and the hose form a permanent connection, and removing the fitting can damage it or compromise its integrity. For safety and reliability, it's recommended to use new fittings when replacing or repairing hydraulic hose assemblies.
