JIC Hydraulic Hose Reducer

JIC hydraulic hose reducer are widely used in fluid applications such as the delivery of fuel or hydraulics, especially when a higher PSI is involved. The JIC hydraulic hose reducer uses its 37-degree chamfer seating surface to seal rather than an o-ring that could corrode. This allows them to be connected and disconnected repeatedly, such as hydraulic applications, without concern for deformation.

Advantages of JIC fittings

JIC fittings are very similar to Army-Navy fittings but with a lower tolerance and therefore are produced at a lower cost. Commonly made out of steel & stainless steel, the braided hoses makes connecting and disconnecting quick and easy, and the NPT to JIC adapters allow most connections to be easily converted to a JIC system. Maintenance, particularly with steel & stainless steel fittings is very low, and costs are usually isolated to a replacing a damaged component instead of the entire system.
