A TEE adaptor with JIC (M) x JIC (F) x JIC (M) threads is a versatile hydraulic fitting designed to connect three lines using SAE J514-compliant 37° flare fittings, with one of the branches featuring a female JIC connection. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Adaptor - TEE - SAE JIC (M) x JIC (F) x JIC (M)
Thread Type: JIC (Joint Industry Council)
Standard: SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2
Sealing Method: 37° metal-to-metal flare
Thread Form: UNF (Unified National Fine)
Connection:
Male JIC: Has external threads and a 37° flare
Female JIC: Has internal threads and a 37° cone seat
Design & Configuration
Shape: T-shaped fitting
Ends:
Two male JIC ends (typically inline)
One female JIC branch (perpendicular)
Purpose: Allows for easy integration of a female-threaded JIC hose or tube into a male-to-male JIC line
Materials
Commonly made from:
Carbon steel (zinc-trivalent plated for corrosion resistance)
316 stainless steel (for high corrosion environments)
Brass (for lower pressure or non-corrosive systems)
Applications
Hydraulic systems in industrial, agricultural, and construction equipment
Fuel and oil lines
High-pressure fluid transfer
Mobile and stationary machinery
Installation Tips
No thread sealant is needed sealing is achieved by the flare contact.
Ensure the flare surfaces are clean and undamaged.
Tighten to the recommended torque to avoid leaks or damage.
