JIC to NPT Male Connector Description

JIC to NPT Male Connector is JIC conversion adapter to NPT. Both connector ends are male threads, designed straight and mates with female connector.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) specifies a 74° angle flare or seat to use with high-pressure hydraulic tubing. These fittings are commonly called as JIC couplings, JIC is an acronym for Joint Industry Council. The JIC 74° flare male will only mates with a JIC female. Besides, it has straight threads and a 74° flare seat. The seal is made on the 37° flare seat. They are the most popular as well as useful hydraulic adapters across North America and Europe.

NPT (National Pipe Thread) seals are the most popular type of seal for pressure calibration systems in the U.S. and Canada. NPT male adapters have a taper thread that wedges into the female NPT adapter. They seal due to the “out of roundness principle” which means that the male stretches the female fitting until there is so much force that the connection can hold pressure. One of the challenges with this design is that if you connect stainless steel to stainless steel then over-tightening or poor lubrication can cause damage to the threads.

Selection

JIC to NPT Male Connector comes in various sizes. Pay close attention to the correct size while selecting and installing the connectors. You can also check our other JIC Adapters that connect various hose fittings with different standards together. Different Sizes for this adapter are available in the above information table.

Product Usage

Usages of these high-pressure fittings are common in all fields of hydraulic. After choosing the proper adapter size based on the fluid volume, pressure, media, and other properties, the adapter can be installed. For a perfect leak-proof connection, the adapter size must be chosen carefully. Moreover, you can contact the supplier or the manufacturer for consultation.
