JIC Hydraulic Hose Fittings Catalog

JIC sizes are designated by dash numbers (#4, #6, #8, etc.). Measure the thread diameter and pitch, or refer to your equipment specifications for the correct size.

JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare with UNF threads, while BSP fittings have straight threads with a 60-degree cone or parallel threads with sealing washers.

No, but adapter fittings like our JIC to NPT converters enable connections between the two standards. These adapters are available in various sizes and configurations.

JIC fittings use metal-to-metal sealing at the 37-degree flare and typically don't require thread sealant. Clean, properly torqued connections ensure leak-free performance.

Yes, JIC fittings can be reused if the flare sealing surface remains undamaged. Inspect for scratches or deformation before reinstallation and replace if damaged.

Torque specifications vary by size. Generally, hand-tighten plus 1-2 flats (60-120 degrees) ensures proper seal. Consult size-specific torque charts for precision applications.
