JIC Fittings

JIC Fittings for Hydraulic Manifolds & Hose Assemblies

JIC Fittings provide a standardized 37-degree flare seat for high-pressure hydraulic connections. The full form, JIC, refers to Joint Industry Council, the body historically associated with standardizing this flare fitting type. Unlike NPT fittings, which rely on tapered thread engagement for sealing, a JIC fitting seals through direct metal-to-metal contact at the flare seat, which is one of the most common points of comparison buyers raise when specifying between JIC fittings vs NPT.

Elpar manufactures JIC Fittings with attention to flare seat geometry and thread class conformity, ensuring consistent sealing performance across hydraulic manifolds, hose assemblies, and instrumentation lines. Material and finish selections are confirmed based on the fluid compatibility and environmental exposure of the buyer's application, and dimensional inspection is carried out to verify flare angle and thread engagement before dispatch.

Applications in Hydraulic & Industrial Systems

• Hydraulic manifold assemblies requiring a metal-to-metal seal.
• Hose assemblies for mobile and industrial equipment.
• Instrumentation panels requiring interchangeable fitting types.
• Process control lines under pressure.
• OEM system assembly and equipment manufacturing.
• Maintenance and field replacement programs.

Bulk Manufacturing & Supply

Elpar manufactures and supplies JIC Fittings for OEM buyers, industrial equipment manufacturers, and maintenance planning teams, with production and lead time confirmed based on quantity and finishing requirements. Buyers are asked to confirm thread size and material preference ahead of order placement so that flare seat geometry and thread class can be matched to existing assemblies before dispatch.
