QUICK OVERVIEW

JIC to NPT Male Elbow Adapter is a JIC conversion adapter to NPT adapter. Both connector ends are male threads, designed as 90 degree elbow, and mates with a female connector. 

JIC to NPT Male Elbow Adapter Description

JIC to NPT Male Elbow Adapter is a JIC conversion adapter to NPT adapter. Both connector ends are male threads, designed as 90 degree elbow, and mates with a 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 refer to as JIC couplings that are an acronym for Joint Industry Council. 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 Elbow Adapter 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, install the adapter. For a perfect leak-proof connection, you should choose the adapter size carefully. Moreover, you can contact the supplier or the manufacturer for consultation.
