Gates offers a wide variety of couplings, also called fittings, for their hose ends. The Society of Automotive Engineers, or SAE, specifies a 37 degree angle flare or seat be used with high pressure hydraulic tubing. These are commonly called JIC couplings or fittings. The JIC 37 degree flare male will mate with a Female JIC only. The JIC male has straight threads and a 37 degree flare seat. The JIC female has straight threads and a 37 degree flare seat. The seal is made on the 37 degree flare seat. Some sizes may have the same threads as the SAE 45 degree flare. You must carefully measure the seat angle to differentiate between the two types. For maximum torque recommendations, please see page C30 in the selection guide. COUPLINGS MUST ONLY BE USED WITH RECOMMENDED COMPATIBLE HOSES. Please see the Compatible Hose referenced below to see which hoses this coupling may be utilized with. If you are unsure which coupling you need, please contact OneHydraulics and we will be happy to assist you! Show more
