Stainless Steel 316 JIC Adaptors – Straights, Elbows and Tees

Our Stainless Steel 316 JIC Adaptors are designed for high-performance hydraulic systems, featuring the widely used JIC 37° flare connection. Available in a full range of straight adaptors, 90 degree elbows, 45 degree elbows and tees, these fittings are ideal for high-pressure applications requiring reliable, leak-free sealing.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, these adaptors provide excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, saltwater and harsh operating environments. They are commonly used as compatible replacement styles for adaptor series from leading hydraulic brands such as Parker, Eaton, Gates, Ryco, Manuli, Stauff, Brennan, Hydraulink and Alfagomma, making them a trusted choice across Australian hydraulic, industrial and marine industries.

Why Choose Stainless Steel 316 JIC Adaptors?

• High Pressure Performance: JIC 37° flare provides a strong metal-to-metal seal suitable for demanding hydraulic systems.
• Corrosion Resistant: 316 stainless steel is ideal for marine, chemical and washdown environments.
• Reusable Connection: JIC fittings can be disconnected and reused without compromising sealing performance.
• Wide Range of Sizes: Available in multiple sizes and configurations to suit various hydraulic applications.
• Proven Industry Standard: One of the most commonly used hydraulic fitting types worldwide.

Common Applications

• Hydraulic hose assemblies and high-pressure fluid systems.
• Marine, offshore and coastal equipment exposed to saltwater.
• Mining, construction, agricultural and industrial machinery.
• Fuel, oil, gas and fluid transfer systems.
• Mobile plant, transport and heavy equipment hydraulics.

JIC Thread & Seal Explained

• JIC (37° Flare): Uses a 37-degree flare seat to create a metal-to-metal seal, providing high-pressure reliability and vibration resistance.
• UNF Thread: Fine thread used with JIC fittings to achieve precise clamping force and sealing performance.

Available JIC Adaptor Styles

• JIC Male to JIC Male: Straight nipple adaptors for connecting JIC female ports or hose ends.
• JIC Male to JIC Female: Used for extension and conversion between components.
• JIC 90 Degree Elbows: Ideal for tight installations and directional changes.
• JIC 45 Degree Elbows: Provides smoother routing and reduces hose stress.
• JIC Tees: Allows splitting or combining hydraulic lines.
• JIC Reducers: Converts between different JIC thread sizes.

Important Compatibility Notes

JIC fittings rely on a 37° flare sealing surface and are not interchangeable with SAE 45° flare, BSP, NPT, Metric or ORFS threads. Always confirm thread size, flare angle, pressure rating and application requirements before installation.

Manufacturer names such as Parker, Eaton, Gates, Ryco, Manuli, Stauff, Brennan, Hydraulink and Alfagomma are used for reference only to assist with identifying commonly used fitting styles. These products are not represented as genuine parts unless specified. Customers should confirm suitability in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.

Need Help Choosing the Right JIC Adaptor?

Selecting the correct JIC adaptor is essential for safe and efficient system performance. Confirm thread size, flare type and pressure requirements before purchasing. For hydraulic applications, always ensure compatibility with hose, fittings and machinery specifications. You can use our thread chart here.
