A TEE adaptor with JIC (M) x JIC (M) x JIC (M) configuration is a standard hydraulic fitting used to connect three lines in a T-shaped configuration, all using SAE J514-compliant 37° flare male threads. Here's a comprehensive overview:
Adaptor - TEE - SAE JIC (M) x JIC (M) x JIC (M)
Thread Type: JIC (Joint Industry Council) Male
Standard: SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2
Thread Form: UNF (Unified National Fine)
Seal Type: 37° metal-to-metal flare
Connection: Male threads with a 37° flare that mates with a female JIC seat
Design & Configuration
Shape: T-shaped fitting
Ends:
All three ends are male JIC
Typically, two ends are inline, and one is perpendicular (branch)
Purpose: Used to split or combine fluid flow in hydraulic systems
Materials
Carbon steel (zinc-plated) – durable and corrosion-resistant
316 stainless steel – for high-corrosion or sanitary 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.
