FAQ
What is JIS Hydraulic Fittings?
JIS fittings are commonly used as hose fittings on equipment designed and/or manufactured in Japan and Korea.
What is the difference between JIS and JIC hydraulic fitting?
The standards are different, JIS hydraulic fitting uses the Japanese Industrial Standard and JIC hydraulic fitting uses the Joint Industry Council Standard. Sealing is different, JIS hydraulic fitting uses a Komatsu type fitting installation, while JIC hydraulic fitting uses a 37-degree cone installation.
What does JIS stand for in fittings?
JIS stands for Japanese Industrial Standards. It is the most important and authoritative national standard in Japan and is now widely used in the hydraulic industry worldwide.
How is the JIS hydraulic fitting connected?
JIS hydraulic fitting is mostly used for heavy equipment hose connection, using 30 degrees flare or 60 degrees cone for metal to metal link, also can use o-ring for sealing on this basis.
Can you produce custom JIS fittings from drawings or samples?
Yes. For OEM, distributor, and volume purchasing projects, we can review drawings, samples, dimensions, materials, thread specifications, and surface finish requirements for custom production.
Can you identify a JIS fitting from a part number or photo?
Yes. You can send us the current part number, fitting photo, drawing, thread details, or dimensions. Our team can help identify possible corresponding JIS fitting options for technical verification.
Can BSP hydraulic adapters and JIS hydraulic fitting be used interchangeably?
No, because JIS hydraulic fitting and BSP hydraulic adapters have got different application standards, varying cone diameters, and lengths of threads.
What information should I send for JIS fitting identification?
Please provide the part number, thread type and size, hose size, fitting angle, sealing surface, dimensions, material, and photos or drawings if available.
Can I combine different JIS fitting sizes and types in one order?
Yes. Distributors and wholesalers can combine different JIS fitting sizes, thread types, angles, and configurations in one purchasing list. This makes it easier to source multiple SKUs through one supplier.
Can you supply JIS fittings for Japanese equipment replacement programs?
Yes. JIS fittings are commonly used on Japanese and Asian hydraulic equipment. Send us the equipment reference, existing part number, photos, drawings, or fitting dimensions so we can help check suitable replacement options.
