A Straight Male Metric x Female JIC Hydraulic Adapter is a versatile fitting used in fluid power systems. The male side features a metric thread, which is common in Europe, and uses millimeter-based dimensions for the outside diameter (OD) and thread pitch, such as M22x1.5. On the female side, the JIC (Joint Industry Council) connection has a 37-degree coned seat that allows a flared male connector to create a secure, mechanical seal when the two parts are connected. This adapter is commonly used with three essential components: the fitting, flare nut, and sleeve, ensuring a reliable and leak-free connection for hydraulic systems.
