No sleeve is required to assemble these fittings, which makes for a faster, more convenient installation compared to 37° flared fittings. They are also known as refrigeration and SAE fittings.

Also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council) fittings, these connect to tubing that is flared to 37°. They can handle higher pressures than 45° flared fittings.

Fittings have sharp barbs that grip push-on hose with no clamps or ferrules required. The more you pull on the fittings, the tighter the hose will grip. Use in low-pressure hydraulic applications up to 350 psi.

Metal hose fittings have better durability than plastic barbed hose fittings.
