2406 JIC Reducer/Expander for 37° Connections

2406 JIC Reducer/Expander for Different 37° JIC Connection Sizes

The 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander is a straight hydraulic fitting designed to connect compatible 37° JIC connections with different size requirements. It features a female JIC connection on one end and a male JIC connection on the other, creating a direct transition between two different-sized JIC connections.

The collection includes multiple size combinations, allowing customers to select the appropriate 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander based on the requirements of their hydraulic assembly.

Connection: Female JIC x Male JIC
Flare Connection: 37° JIC
Material: Steel
Shape: Straight
Plating: Clear Zinc Trivalent
Pressure Rating: Up to 5000 PSI, depending on tube and fitting size

The 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander is intended for high-pressure hydraulic applications, with working pressure varying according to the tube and fitting size used in the assembly.

Straight Female JIC x Male JIC Design

The 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander combines a female JIC connection with a male JIC connection in a straight fitting design. This configuration allows it to transition between compatible JIC connections where the required size differs from one end to the other.

The 37° JIC flare connection is an important part of selecting the correct fitting. Both the connection type and the size required at each end should be confirmed before ordering. A fitting may have the correct JIC connection style but still be unsuitable if the size combination does not match the hydraulic assembly.

Material and Protective Finish

The 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander collection is available in steel, with the product information also listing stainless steel Type 316 as a material option. The collection information identifies steel materials including Bar Stock 12L14, 1045, and Cold Formed 1010.

Clear Zinc Trivalent plating and passivation are also listed for the collection. These details provide useful information when comparing the available fitting options and selecting the appropriate component for the intended application.

Applications for High-Pressure Hydraulic Systems

The 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander is suitable for applications involving machine tools, agricultural machinery, earth-moving equipment, instrumentation, and chemical processing systems, along with other high-pressure hydraulic applications.

Its reducer or expander configuration is useful when two compatible 37° JIC connections need to be joined but do not require the same fitting size. The straight design allows the size transition to be made without changing the direction of the hydraulic line.

The collection offers multiple size combinations, so customers should select the fitting based on the requirements of both sides of the connection.

Pressure Considerations

Working pressures for the 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander can reach up to 5000 PSI, but the actual working pressure varies depending on the tube and fitting size. Applications operating at extreme pressures of 5000 PSI or above should be evaluated according to their specific system requirements.

For this reason, pressure requirements should always be reviewed alongside the fitting size and the components used in the complete hydraulic assembly.

How to Select the Right 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander

Before choosing a 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander, confirm that both sides of the assembly use compatible 37° JIC connections. Then identify the required size for the female JIC end and the male JIC end.

Do not select the fitting based only on appearance. The connection gender, thread requirements, flare style, and size transition should all match the existing hydraulic system.

If replacing an existing fitting, compare both connection sizes and the current part configuration before ordering. For new assemblies, confirm that the selected reducer or expander is appropriate for the complete hydraulic system.

Choose the Right 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander

The 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander collection provides multiple size options for transitioning between different compatible 37° JIC connections. With a straight Female JIC x Male JIC configuration, steel construction options, clear zinc trivalent plating, and suitability for high-pressure hydraulic applications, it offers a focused selection for hydraulic systems requiring a size change.

Choose the right 2406 JIC Reducer/Expander by confirming the connection type, required size on both ends, and pressure requirements of your hydraulic application.
