The Automotive Plumbing Solutions Male to Male JIC-BSP Adaptor (MPN: 1118) is an essential component for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics building custom oil cooling or remote filter systems. Designed to bridge the gap between BSP and JIC standards, this zinc-plated steel fitting ensures a secure, leak-free connection when paired with compatible hoses and unions. While it offers superior durability, users must verify their specific thread sizes carefully to ensure compatibility with their existing plumbing architecture.

No, this is a BSP (British Standard Pipe) to JIC adaptor and is not compatible with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads.
No. JIC fittings are designed to seal on the flare surface and do not require thread tape or sealant.
The -6 refers to the JIC size, which corresponds to a specific tube diameter, in this case, 3/8-inch tubing.
While it is designed for oil systems, the zinc-plated steel is generally compatible with fuel; however, ensure all components in your fuel system are rated for the pressure and chemical type.
Yes, provided the threads and the JIC flare seat remain undamaged during removal.
Ensure thread sealant was applied correctly and re-tighten the fitting according to torque specifications.
Check that the thread pitch matches the component. Do not force the fitting, as this can damage the internal threads of the engine component.
The JIC flare seat may be damaged. Inspect the flare surface for nicks or debris; clean or replace the hose end as necessary.
To install, ensure the threads on both the adaptor and the mating components are clean and free of debris. When installing the BSP side, it is recommended to use a compatible liquid thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a pressure-tight seal. For the JIC side, do not use thread sealant, as the JIC connection relies on the metal-to-metal flare seat for sealing. Tighten carefully with proper wrenches to avoid over-torquing and potential thread stripping. Periodically inspect the fitting for signs of corrosion or leakage during routine maintenance cycles.
