Designed for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics, this Automotive Plumbing Solutions reducer union adaptor is the ideal tool for transitioning between different AN/JIC hose sizes in high-performance fuel, oil, or cooling systems. Crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant plated steel, it provides a secure, leak-proof connection for modified vehicle plumbing; however, users must verify their specific thread pitch requirements, as it is strictly designed for -6 (9/16x18) to -4 (7/16x20) JIC applications.

JIC stands for Joint Industry Council, referring to the 37-degree flare angle connection standard commonly used in hydraulic and automotive plumbing.
No, this fitting is intended for fluid systems like oil, fuel, or coolant, and is not certified for high-pressure automotive braking systems.
No, JIC threads are straight threads and will not seal against tapered NPT threads.
No, JIC fittings rely on a metal-to-metal 37-degree flare seal; thread tape is not recommended and can interfere with the proper seating of the fitting.
The fitting is made of steel and features a silver-colored plated finish for enhanced resistance to rust and corrosion.
Verify that the hose end is indeed a -6 or -4 JIC 37-degree flare; do not force it if the thread pitch does not match.
Ensure the 37-degree flare seat is perfectly clean and tighten the fitting slightly further; if it continues to leak, inspect the flare surface for nicks or damage.
To install, ensure the mating surfaces of your hoses or fittings are clean and free of debris. Always use an appropriately sized wrench to tighten the fitting, taking care to avoid stripping the threads. While the plated finish is rust-resistant, you should avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners that might strip the coating. This fitting is compatible with standard JIC hoses and should be inspected periodically for signs of weeping or movement during routine vehicle maintenance. Always ensure your system is depressurized before attempting to install or remove the adaptor.
