Thumbnail Filmstrip of MJ-08-10 | 1/2" Hose x 5/8" JIC Male Images
A MJ-08-10 | 1/2" hose x 5/8" JIC male fitting is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 1/2" inside diameter and a JIC male fitting with a 5/8" tube size and a nominal thread size of 7/8"-14. 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.

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".
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.
The #10 JIC fitting refers to a specific size within the Joint Industry Council (JIC) standards for hydraulic fittings. It has a 7/8-inch outer diameter and uses a 37-degree flare seating surface to create a seal. JIC fittings are commonly used in hydraulic applications due to their reliability and ease of assembly.
To determine the size of a hydraulic fitting, measure the outer diameter of the threads using a caliper and count the number of threads per inch to identify the thread size and pitch. Additionally, refer to a thread identification chart that corresponds to the fitting standard (e.g., NPT, BSP, JIC) to confirm the size. Always ensure you have a precise measurement to avoid mismatches in hydraulic systems.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) threads are typically measured in inches, as they are part of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard for hydraulic fittings. However, you can convert the size to millimeters for reference. For example, a JIC 37-degree fitting with a 1/2-inch thread size would have an outer diameter of approximately 12.7 mm. It's important to consult a detailed conversion chart for precise measurements of specific JIC sizes.
