Understanding JIC & JIS Hydraulic Fittings
Welcome to our newsletter about JIC and JIS hydraulic fittings! In this guide, we will explore everything you need to know about these two types of fittings, including their uses, benefits, and differences. Whether you’re a professional in the hydraulic industry or just getting started, this guide will provide you with valuable insights and information. Section 1: What Are JIC Fittings? The Joint Industry Council (JIC) fitting has a long history in the hydraulic industry. It was first developed in the early 20th century to standardize hydraulic fittings used in the aircraft industry. At the time, there were many different types of hydraulic fittings in use, making it difficult to maintain and repair hydraulic systems. JIC fittings are characterized by their 37-degree flare angle, which creates a strong and reliable seal between the fitting and the hydraulic hose or tubing. This flare angle is designed to minimize leakages and provide a secure connection even under high pressure
