The Series 2706 Straight Bulkhead Male NPT x Male JIC hydraulic adapters, made from durable carbon steel, are designed to provide reliable and secure connections in hydraulic systems. These adapters feature a male NPT (National Pipe Taper) end, which utilizes tapered threads to effectively seal pipes for fluid and gas transfer through a metal-to-metal connection that relies on thread deformation. The nominal pipe size can be determined by measuring the thread diameter and subtracting 1/4". On the other end, the male JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting, defined by SAE J514, incorporates a 37-degree flare seating surface and parallel threads, commonly used in fluid power systems. The seal is achieved by contact between the male flared seat and the female coned seat, creating a strong mechanical connection. While NPT connections are ideal for single assembly applications, they are not recommended for frequent disassembly due to potential wear on the threads. The Series 2706 adapters are perfect for professionals seeking dependable and efficient hydraulic solutions in a variety of applications, ensuring optimal performance and safety in fluid transfer.
