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 are metal for better durability than plastic barbed hose fittings. They have sharper barbs than standard barbed hose fittings to grip push-on hose without the need for clamps or ferrules. The more you pull on the fittings, the tighter the hose will grip.
