Fittings 101: JIC

JIC fittings are commonly manufactured in nickel alloys, brass, carbon, and stainless materials. These specific fittings and connections are used in most fluid power systems. When the male and female connections are put together, it creates a reliable seal. It’s important to note the three components that create a tubing assembly. This includes the fitting, the flare nut, and the sleeve. The JIC fittings have both advantages and disadvantages but generally they are great components to consider for your applications.
