JIC Flare Male Bulkhead Union

A JIC Flare Male Bulkhead Union is a type of hydraulic fitting commonly used to connect two tubes or hoses through a wall or panel. It features a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37-degree flare fitting design, which is widely used in fluid power and fuel delivery systems for its leak-proof seal and durability.

Key Components of a JIC Flare Male Bulkhead Union:

1. JIC Flare (37°):
   • The male end has a 37-degree flare angle.
   • It connects to a corresponding female flare fitting, forming a tight metal-to-metal seal.
2. Bulkhead Design:
   • The fitting has a long threaded body and a locknut, allowing it to be securely mounted through a panel, wall, or enclosure.
   • Enables tubing to pass through and be connected on both sides of the wall.
3. Male Thread:
   • Typically UNF (Unified National Fine) thread as per JIC standards (SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2).
   • One or both ends are male threaded to connect to female flare fittings.

Typical Specifications:

• Material: Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Brass.
• Sizes: Common sizes include 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, etc.
• Pressure Rating: Typically up to 5000 psi, depending on size and material.
• Applications:
  • Hydraulic lines
  • Fuel systems
  • Test equipment
  • Refrigeration
  • Automotive and aerospace applications
