Product Information

Not only are there differences in the thread and standards of production. Materials differ as well. AN sizes are shown as a size number prefixed with a hyphen, so a -10 fitting would be called a “Dash 10″ AN fitting. AN fittings and SAE fittings are two commonly used types of fittings in the automotive industry. Understanding the difference between the two is important when it comes to selecting the right fitting for your needs. AN Fittings AN and JIC (SAE J514 standard) both have a 37° flare connection on the male and female sides of the fitting and straight threads. A seal is achieved by threading in the JIC male flared connection with the female coned connection.

AN fittings are designed to provide leak-free connections, ensuring that fluids or gases are contained within the system. This is particularly important in applications where the safety of the system or the environment is a concern. Durability A new standard was introduced to clean up the confusion called the JIC (Joint Industries Council) fitting standard. These JIC hydraulic fittings have a slightly lower class of thread quality and are considerably less expensive than their AN counterparts. AN fitting sizes and JIC fitting sizes are comparable. JIC fittings are now defined by standard SAE J514 of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Differences between AN and JIC fittings

The Final AN-chor: Summing Up the Benefits of AN Fittings

JIC stands for the Joint Industries Council, and AN stands for Air Force – Navy Aeronautical Design Standards. Army-Navy fittings first made their appearance around the second world war and have been designed to be used in U.S. military aviation applications. In contrast, JIC fittings are used primarily in industries such as agriculture; these are now often referred to as SAE J514 Flare fittings. We look at the differences between the two and how you can choose the best fittings for your application. Table of contents

On SAE 37° Flare fittings, the male and female threads are made according to class 2A/2B UN/UNF series threads. Fastener classes 2A and 2B are designed for optimum thread fit that balances fastener performance, manufacturing, economy, and convenience. With proper installation and maintenance, AN fittings provide a reliable and long-lasting solution for fluid transfer in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. What are SAE Fittings? JIC stands for the Joint Industries Council, which first standardized industrial use fittings. These compression couplings have a 37° flared seat on the male and female threaded connections. What does AN stand for? When choosing AN fittings for your application, there are several factors to consider, including: Hose SizeThe JIC/AN threads are a UNJF profile. The UNJF profile is a modified UNF profile. UNJ specifies a minimum and maximum root radius for the thread to increase strength. If you are wanting to make a JIC/AN fitting on your lathe, you can normally do so using standard 60° thread cutting tools. Dimensions ¶
