Product description
The Steel NPTF Female × JIC 37° Male Bulkhead Connector is a bulkhead connector, in forged carbon steel, trivalent zinc plated. Its ends are NPTF (Dryseal) female and 37° JIC bulkhead male. The 37° JIC flare is the most widely used inch-size hydraulic connection on mobile and industrial machinery.
Construction
- Body: bulkhead connector
- End 1: NPTF (Dryseal) female
- End 2: 37° JIC bulkhead male
- Material: forged carbon steel, trivalent zinc plated
Ends and sealing
- NPTF (Dryseal): Dryseal taper pipe thread, cut so the crests and roots close up as the joint is tightened, so it seals on the thread; ASME B1.20.3.
- 37° JIC: 37° flare, a metal-to-metal seat on a 74° included cone; SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2.
Sizes
12 part numbers, 1/8" to 1-1/2". The Sizes & Part Numbers tab lists the size on each end, dimensions in millimetres and the Parker equivalent for every one.
- End 1: NPTF (Dryseal), 1/8" to 1-1/2" (1/8-27 to 1-1/2-11.5)
- End 2: 37° JIC, 1/8" to 1-1/2" (5/16-24 to 1-7/8-12)

NOTE: Since many factors influence the pressure at which a system will or will not perform satisfactory, values shown in this table should not be construed as guaranteed minimum.
Parker equivalents
For 9 of the 12 sizes the size table gives the Parker part number the manufacturer cross-references, so a part number taken off existing equipment can be matched to the Indus part number.
Stainless-steel version
The same configuration in 316 stainless steel: Stainless Steel NPT Female × JIC 37° Male Bulkhead Connector.
How to order
Quote the Indus part number from the size table. If you only have the fitting, send the thread or tube size on each end, and Indus engineering will confirm the part number. Price and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.
