| * You can measure male JIC threads by either using a caliper or simply laying a fitting across a tape measure. \\ Measure the OD of the threads and count the number of threads per inch to confirm with the chart below. \\ Thread OD will not exactly match the SAE thread size but will get you close enough if you have a JIC fitting. | * You can measure male JIC threads by either using a caliper or simply laying a fitting across a tape measure. \\ Measure the OD of the threads and count the number of threads per inch to confirm with the chart below. \\ Thread OD will not exactly match the SAE thread size but will get you close enough if you have a JIC fitting. | ||

| + | Characteristics of SAE Flare Fittings are 45° flare angles (which distinguishes them from JIC fittings, which have a 37° flare angle.\\ | ||
| + | Flared SAE fittings are also used in a wide range of applications including braking systems, fuel lines, hydraulic systems, refrigeration / air conditioning and plumbing systems. \\ | ||
