What is JIC 37° Flare Threads (SAE J514)
JIC 37° flare, also known as SAE J514 (ISO 8434-2), is a type of connection for hydraulic tubes and hoses. It is a 37-degree flared fitting that uses a metal-to-metal seal to create a leak-proof connection.
-
JIC 37° flare fittings are widely used in hydraulic systems because they are:
- Leak-proof:The metal-to-metal seal provides a very reliable seal, even under high pressure.
- Reusable:JIC 37° flare fittings can be reused many times without losing their sealing ability.
- Versatile:JIC 37° flare fittings are available in a wide variety of sizes and configurations to meet the needs of a variety of applications.
JIC 37° flare Threads are Widely found in hydraulic systems, both the JIC male and JIC female of this connection have a 37º flare seat as well as straight threads. The flare seats of the male and female seal together when the straight threads are joined. The straight threads of the each half hold the connection together mechanically.
Note: While most SAE J514 threads look identical to SAE 45º flare threads, their seating angles do not match.
