Stainless steel JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are hydraulic compression fittings made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel alloys. They feature a 37-degree flare seating surface and parallel threads, designed to meet SAE J514 standards for leak-free, high-pressure connections.

Stainless steel JIC fittings offer superior corrosion resistance, durability, and robustness compared to other materials like brass or carbon steel. They can withstand extreme temperatures, harsh environments, and high-pressure applications, making them ideal for industrial, automotive, and heavy equipment use.

JIC fittings create a metal-to-metal seal by establishing contact between the male flared end and the female coned seat. This mechanical connection does not require thread sealants like Teflon tape, ensuring a secure, leak-free joint.

316 stainless steel is a common grade used for JIC fittings, offering excellent corrosion resistance and strength at high temperatures. Other grades like 304 stainless steel may also be used depending on the application requirements.

Yes, stainless steel JIC fittings can be adapted for use with NPT configurations through the use of appropriate NPT adapters or transitions.

Stainless steel JIC fittings are widely used in hydraulic and fluid power systems, including industrial machinery, construction equipment, agriculture, automotive, and marine applications where corrosion resistance and high-pressure capabilities are required.

Stainless steel JIC fittings are available in various sizes, typically denoted by dash sizes (e.g., -4, -6, -8) or fraction sizes (e.g., 1/4", 3/8", 1/2"). Consult sizing charts or manufacturer specifications to ensure proper fit and compatibility with your hydraulic system.

Yes, stainless steel JIC fittings can be adapted for use with O-ring boss (ORB) configurations through the use of appropriate adapters or transition fittings.

Stainless steel JIC fittings are generally more expensive than brass or carbon steel fittings due to the higher cost of stainless steel alloys and their superior corrosion resistance and durability.
